2006 Chevy Colorado, black regular cab 4wd. Loved the truck and almost shed a tear when I just traded it for my 10 Tacoma.

They had issues with the head on the 04-06 models, instead of a recall they did a 7yr/100k extended warranty. I qualified for that at 5 yrs 78K, but the dealer hosed me for $2000 for a cam and timing chain that the head ruined saying GM would compensate me. GM said that's impossible to do and the dealer should have. Between that and the corporate rep's insistence that it's not uncommon to have this happen, my trust in the vehicle was shaky at best.

 

This is my first truck and I love it! I always the little rice coupes and then I finally grew up and got a real mans toy.. a taco

 

1988 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1.8T

Couldn't be happier in my Taco for the past month. I was so tired of moving my seat up with my knees in the steering wheel so someone could sit behind me.
Or hearing, "...oh my wife has a Jetta"

 

1980 honda accord lx
1982 sr5 4x4(got it sept of 82 & drove in for 28 yrs,will be buried in it)
10 tacoma dc sport 4x4

 

Before I bought my used '04 Doublecab (in '05), I went and looked at a new Colorado seeing I could get a dsicount through my dad working for GM. I got in one and was so turned off by teh quality of the interior I never bothered with a test drive.My (late) father asked me why the interior bothered me so much. I told him "It is teh part of the vehicle you see the most. The same thing that kept me from ever buying a Dodge Magnum and that ugly-ass dashboard." He just laughed and said I was correct abou it being the most-seen part.

Still got this one:

 

I loved my '02 WRB WRX. That thing was a blast when we would get @ "2-3 of fresh snow.

 

1990 Ford Mustang LX, 2.3L fastback. His name was Pete, and he caught on fire on the interstate and exploded. My Dad's friend was driving him- Dad loaned him out to his friend without asking me. And even though this 'friend' of my dad's wrecked my car, I didn't get a red cent from her after she blew him up.

 

R.I.P Pete

 

When I have enough money to afford another vehicle, I'll get another Pete. It'll have to be identical, of course. Good thing is, there are a lot of them still around where I live.
