Chevy Colorado with extended cab, small box and the 305 hp V6. I'm thinking of the 18"s and Forest Green Metallic.
Maybe not ideal for everyone but it would be a cool truck.
Why'd they ruin the front on these things? Box that shit up cmon now.

Not available in the US due to wheelbase-based emissions laws.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can only get a manual with the I4...
Sad. I always liked the small/mid, RWD trucks with 6-speeds and V-engines.
Back in '05 or '06 someone let me drift their Dakota V-8 6-speed in an empty lot; 'shit was cash.'

Stand up!
I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these to daily drive.
0-60 in under 5 seconds (matches the 2011+ Mustang GT in 0-60 and 1/4 mile but AWD easier to launch).
These are fairly in expensive. I can get one with around 60k km (37.5k miles) for around 30k, they actually have an after market with options for forced induction.
The only downside I see is the fuel economy (use to averaging 9mpg, these average like 13-14mpg), and it won't handle that well (not a big deal for me at the moment).
DESU I really need 4 doors, but the trunk space is kinda a waste. I don't know of any other V8 AWD vehicles that are this quick.

A 2016 GT would definitely beat it in a straight line and probably in any other scenario, not by much but the mustang is faster.
Performance SUVs are some of the most price gouging things out there. Everyone thinks their trailblazer SS is worth 20k+....
Plus they arnt practical for real work, you dont want to abuse it or actualy haul things in it because you know its a 30K SUV. You wont be able to do shit off road ( because lowered and rim tires) and itll be about as capable as any typical AWD car.
You could get a regular V8 AWD SUV and build on that, with 30K you could make a 10K SUV very very fast.
>>15088332
Thank god it goes 0-60 in 5 seconds because, you know, that's important.
>>15088332
>I don't know of any other V8 AWD vehicles that are this quick.
You could get a really nice Trailblazer SS for 10-15K less, its not as fast but its about the next best thing.
What did you do today /o/? I fixed my shit kart instead of fixing my actual car.
Pulled the original rotors from my from brakes so I can upgrade to beefier rotors and calipers

The kart is more fun so good for you I guess.

Was there ever a "sweet spot" year for this car where shit wasn't constantly breaking?
I had a '98 (pic related), and it was ALMOST perfect but it constantly fried ignition cassettes and SIDs and a couple other problems.
Did they ever get it perfectly right or do all Saabs just have "issues" ?
I loved this car so much and would love to own another some day but I don't want to by the newer ones, they don't have the same charm or fun drive.
>>15087841
Nope they all have issues.
By the time the cars were old enough to develop these problems GM was moving SAAB to using GM engines etc, so SAAB never got the chance or money to develop or implement revisions to those parts.
>>15087964
Is there at least a "best" year that maybe just has very minor issues. Like I said, the '98 was nearly perfect but those DICs get kind of expensive to keep replacing every year or so.

2004-2011
Years ago, I paid a guy to test another Explorer, and passed me illegally. I later got the o2 sensor fixed. Now the car has a hot burning smell, could that be a cat going out?
If it is, I'm fucked and I'm driving it off a mountain

What is the most /o/ job a highschooler can get?
Working at a car dealership washing cars and gassing up cars for the sales lot.
>>15087831
No, most dealerships have their employees working six days a week opening to close. They're not going to hire a teenage for part time when a thousand spics in the area can work full time.
>>15087861
Pfft. It's called part time on thurs evenings and Saturdays. You go there and wash lot cars and make sure they have gas. Don't be such a downer.
You're only four years old and your parents are getting a divorce. They can't deal with the stress of raising a snot-nosed brat.
You likely won't remember the feud, but who wins the custody battle?
Toyota or Subaru?
>>15087854
the gt86/brz has been the best example of a rebadged model that I have seen. they did everything right (except use scion for the u.s. version of the gt86). so I guess joint custody Niggaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>15087811
>>15087854
It's better off going with Toyota. Subaru will never let it shine because that eats into WRX sales.
>put new air filter in my car today
>get oil change with free inspection
>suggest I change my air filter
Why?
Your first mistake was not changing your own oil, dumbass.
Because they have your vin in their system and they see when THEY last replaced your airfilter.
You have to remember this is a minimum wage job.
>>15087736
Because they care more about their profits than they do ethics.
what does /o/ think of my new truck
>>15087717
Post stats.
3.0 V6 3vze engine 4wd automatic sr5 with tires slightly larger than stock.
>>15087717
Really nice OP, I4 or V6? 4wd or 2wd?
Considering a used VW Bug for a student car.
Do these cars hold up with high mileage?
>>15087610

>>15087610
Alh tdi or 1.8t in manuel. Any others are trash.
they're pretty good, but make sure you get the 1.8T in manual.
