Re: What kind of car do you drive??

I drive a 1996 Maroon/silver S-10 w/ LS trim package and a 5-speed...don't see that too often. The 5spd is the only thing that makes up for the lack of power that the 2.2L 4cyl vortec puts out. One thing that I have learned from driving this car...i never ever ever ever ever want to own a car with an automatic transmission...ever. For some reason my parents are really over-protective about their cars...so i am never allowed to drive them to school, but most other places are fine...2003 maroon TrailBlazerEXT 5.3L Vortec...2003 blue Pontiac Vibe 1.8L Toyota engine...an incredible engine...a lot better than my 2.2L vortec...I only wish that it was the GT (180hp 1.8L, 6-speed manual, 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 wheel independent suspension...) but since my mom can't drive a stick, that was out of the question.
