while I am in the auto sales business, selling Acuras now, used to Chevy, I do drive a ‘07 Silverado Classic. Why, since I don’t need it for work? I like it, I feel safe in it, I feel my son is safer riding in it with me, AND when I do drive to or on the beach (as we can here in NE FL) I know I won’t have any issues. Also of the over dozen vehicles I have owned, almost 80% of them have been SUV’s or Trucks. I just like them better and lest time I checked we do still have the freedom to buy what the F we want to here in America. And I will listen to XM Radio while I do; jamming to the Joint, The Rhyme, Top/Big Tracks and the Boneyard while doing it

I let people out in front of me, I let people overtake me if I’m going too slow for them etc.
However, if someone rides right up my ass, I DO move over, but I belt it so they gotta work to get ahead. ****ends.

Anyway, If I had it my way I’d have a Ford RS Cosworth :$

TRUE THAT… sorry folks for my ranting and raving but I do get worked up with idiotic comments and ridiculous statements from 3rd sources like LEFTLANE on this subject…

Hold on, I am writing those down!!!

I suspect, though, that the BMW line will no longer apply. I have heard they are not going to be giving credit to anybody!

But really, think about it: REK singing about Ford Trucks, rewriting the words to “the Road goes on forever!”

Elias, I was aware it was all in fun, but since it’s all in fun please do humor us and use the following stereotypes in upcoming reviews. They’ll also fit well in the “why buy it” and “why not” sections:

….. BMW drivers are all idiot secretaries who got easy credit
….. BMW drivers are all egotistical jerks
….. Volvo drivers are all indecisive, hyper cautious, paronoid morons
….. Audi drviers are wannabee Bimmer jerks
….. Benz’s are fine, if you are a geriatric
….. Corvettes are for mid-life crisis sufferers
….. Hyundai drivers are all poor trailer trash slobs
….. Honda drivers are all self-important obamatards
….. Chrysler drivers prefer Colt45 malt liquor and passing the Courvosier

Not trying to be hypersensitive because I really don’t care too much, but all stereotypes get tiring after a bit. The cowboy/C&W one fits that group. I guarantee you I don’t look like a F150 driver, and the wide variety of tunes I listen to don’t fit the part either. And I live in the heart of Hill Country west of Austin where I have access to the best non-commercial music of a wide variety there is.

There are also many, many people living in suburbia who buy trucks for status, or buy them so that they can sit high above the road while commuting to their desk job. Those folks are making inefficient transportation choices.

Me? I’m one of those sports car-driving, premium-filling convertible owners that still thinks 20mpg on the highway is unacceptable. (I get 20 in the city and 27 highway.) I’d never be in the market for one of these monsters, especially since I’ve found that my S2000 functions surprisingly well as a truck.

Think I’m kidding? Just the other day I took it to Home Depot and picked up (6) 1×10’s and (6) 1×6’s so that I could do some woodworking. Put the top down, and you’d be surprised what will fit inside… You shoulda seen the face of the guy at Sears when I managed to jam a gas grill into the front seat. The box stuck out several feet above the windshield header… It nearly fell out a few times on the way home, but I managed to hang onto it OK.

It’s just that my country tastes run towards Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen, and the rest of the non-commercial country acts. (More Austin, TX-based)

Z06ified: Please let us know if you are unable to see the interior photos. Could be a server problem.

I like trucks, too. I rely on all of the above (Plumbers, construction workers, Agricultural, and so on) too, who do an amazing job making this country work. Sorry if it went too far on stereotyping.

It was all just in fun.

So get off the stereotypes, LLN. Either that, or start using stereotypes against asians, mexicans, whites and blacks and see how well that bullcrap goes over.

Hooray for proof reading!!

DOES THIS MAKE ME A DIRTY ITALIAN because I love Italian cars that are usually driven by greasy Italians????

I’m not seeing the connection with cowboys & trucks… Does that mean my plumber, carpenter, Mexican lawn service, local township workers, snow plow-service, motorcycle track riders with trailors, large boat owners, electricians, recreational off-roaders, mulch service operators (I can go on for days) REALLY DEEP DOWN INSIDE ONLY WANT TO BE “COWBOYS”?????

Inside-lane, you guys really need better writing… I love the site but come-on, the majority of these vehicles are actually used for their purpose. The culture in this culture is changing faster than you think with the economy tanking and gas still being higher than it needs to be you won’t see truck sales like they used to be. BUT to say that everyone that drives one wants to be a cowboy is STUPID… YeeHaa!!!

If I were in the market for a pickup, it would be a tough choice between this and the new Ram. Both very nice trucks. It’s amazing how quickly the Silverado has been made obsolete in the market. When it came out 3 years ago it was best in class. Now it seems prehistoric compared to the new F-150 and Ram. And I don’t think GM plans to redo it for a long long time.

A: Its going to be a very nice truck…

B: If you think trucks ruin the planet, I can’t wait to hear your stupidity & opinion on every sports car thats written about that not only takes premium, spews more toxins in the air AND GETS EVEN WORSE GAS MILEAGE THAN THIS TRUCK!!!!

(but your a faggit so it doesn’t really matter what you think)

C: If you’re write Pav-limp-dick, I can’t wait to see my carpenter neighbor fitting all his tools and equipment in a Prius -or- the guy two blocks over with a 40 acre farm in southern Wisconsin driving a Mini with horse & cow feed strapped to his hood -or- the guy who owns a supply warehouse driving a Yaris with 3 rolls of carpet strapped to his roof & caving it in… KEEP YOUR STUPID OPINIONS TO YOURSELF and get back to playing World of Warcraft looser… You have nothing to say because you’re locked up in your grandmas basement hoping that someday you have contact with the oposite sex…

Next time you walk in your front, remember that everything your home, apartent, condo, dog-house that you live in was MORE THAN LIKELY transported in the vehicles you call “DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY”… Wake up!!! Destroying our economy… WTF are you smoking??? Oh thats right, POLE

hahahaha!

Nah, you haven’t lost me. For what it’s worth, my father was born in West Virginia, so I guess there’s a little hillbilly here, but actually I dig listening to Howard Stern, AND Outlaw Country on Sirius while driving my personal car (a Saab 9-3)

’nuff said.
