It's a government grade Aluminum box with the powertrain of a Chevy S10.
S10s were a goddam marvel. I loved mine. RIP.
My S10 is going to function as my hearse. I'm not letting them rent a Cadillac when I've got a perfectly good Chevrolet.
Mine was a 94. An F250 pulled out in front of me. I braked, tried to swerve into the side street. He reversed. Wet road, I kept sliding. He had a dented door. I had a broken radiator, crushed hood, and bent front axle. Totalled. To the guy's credit, he admitted he never saw me coming in my wittle red twuck and that I fought like hell to avoid a collision, and probably would have if he hadn't reversed. Blue Book was 5k. I got 3k. No one was selling them at the time for less than 5k and I had a minimum wage job and needed a car asap. Got a neon and a bonus: no more moving requests.
