.... i need more space for work ... so finally made the decision to get rid of the neon .. (01 neon es, sport package, with a few mods) ...

picked up an 07 chevy silverado extended cab ... not a lot of options but got it for 16 grand ... and insurance is cheaper on it then on the dodge truck i was looking at ...

yeah, so far i am happy with it .. but the milage is for sure half what i did get in the neon ... but i do have a lot more room in it for work and other junk ...

here's a few other pics ...

it has the 4.8l v8, 4speed auto, heavy duty suspension, onStar, and cruise control ... no other options heh ... got a new cd player on the way ... and just finished getting the windows tinted.

wow, those doors open wide.

good choice of truck, great engines in those things. awesome price too. i figured for that price it must have been a v-6. left over truck?

if it is, thats the way to buy them. no point in spending extra money to get an early model year car.

i can't wait til i can afford a new truck, cummins diesel here i come

yeah it was a left over ... one of 2 07's left on the lot .. and this one was the 'work truck' package .. (rubber mat instead of carpet, etc etc) .. so it was cheaper then the other ...

i was looking at a cummins ... but they wouldn't budge on the price ... so i was looking at the v6 and smaller v8 in the dodge line ... dealership wasnted 18,9 for the v6 with no options ... 20,1 for the v8 with sxt package ...

plus the insurance was a lot more then it was for the chevy ...

i am still a dodge fan .. but its hard to argue with money lol

yeah, both of the back doors open like that ... quite nice ... also shows how dark the window tint is on it now ... lol

i am just waiting for some of the companies to come out with more tuning programmer options .. then going to pick one of those up ... havent decided yet on intake or exhaust ... may just rework it myself instead of spending the 300+ bucks for the pre made stuff....

only one of the newer motors i have delt with is the larger v8 in the 00 trucks ...

one thing i have discovered .. i need a damn step ladder just to work on the engine ...
