and my first s-10 which i drove to 150K before i sold it. the way i see it GM makes the best engines in the world; 150K on my s-10 and never even changed the water pump!!

my father has owned Toyota and every one of them at 60k needs a new water pump, now dont get me wrong cars like Toyota and Mitsubishi are incredible in quality. How can you live in this country and not support the home team??
