car or truck???

ok yes i kno ive done this before, but i dont know, i was goin to rebuild my 78 malibu but its goin to take too long and prolly cost wayyyyy to much, so i figure prolly just buy a diff car. But question is car or truck? if i do truck, it will be an s10 or ranger. If i do a car i dont kno what car lol so if you pick car give me some ideas,........i wanna stay away from imports kinda so ya

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got a nice car for yea right here ,,,
96 chevy lumina 73886 miles! hahaha

get what u can afford!

start with car, cause turck is gona be more insurance

Insurance is not always more expensive when buying a truck. Mine went down about 70 bucks a month. Get a dodge. Thats your best bet.

El Camino best of both worlds.

new on thats coming or old one?????

Sport trac > El Camino

yes i know sport trac is a suv/truck, but still.

Sport Trac= Pointless. I dont think you could fit a microwave into that so called bed.

If they re-release the El Camino tha is just plain ghey.

If you were going to re-do a maibu then a car like this is right up your alley



My grandfather has 2 one he uses as a work truck like the one pictures above, for his metal shop. Then another more hi-po nicer one for weekends. both are very diffrent and alot of fun to drive you get lots of looks.

Grabbed a pic off ebay. Not my G-fathers.

lol ya well i think i narrowed it down to truck............ranger or s10......but hey more opionions welcome!!!!!

s-dime. Nuff said.

s-10 all the way!

ya but dimes are like all over, well not really but i dunno lol.....prolly cuz its ext. cab....i need room for subs lol

well i personally like trucks.. i was raised with my dad always haveing a truck, i got a car being a new driver and it took alot to get used to.. i like being higher up and i just like trucks.. which do you prefer.. dont worry about how long its going to take you to fix or how much its all over time why would you want something that you can pimp and fix up in a month or two, the longer i work on my car with my dad the more i love it, if you odnt pan on keeping either very long go with a quick fix but if you want to keep it then you should be willing to take the time to fix it up.

very true, but i like my trucks loooooow lol, i never really got the point of lifting a truck unless you go mudding like every weekend. but yes i tihnk im decided on the ranger. but still not 100%. think its possible to fit a system in a standard cab?

I like rangers.... they're nice. I like ford in-general.

Truck!!!!!!! bagg it

Chevy truck. The s10 would be nice, but you could always go fullsize.

you can have plenty of booms

thanks i go there all the time and still didint find it till u gave it to me lol

u want a ranger...everyone has a lowered s-10...they're like civics. rangers are less commen modded out and IMO look better.

what are ur plans? lower? lifted? stock?

thats exactly y im goin to go with the ranger, i meanya i like the s10s alot but the ranger is different and looks nice. ummm lowered def. and system, tints, GLOW of course lol...and alot more!

sweet, i always wanted to drop a F150...ALWAYS and i will one day..and then ill eventually have my mudder with like 36" tires, and its gonna be a bronco like i have no but alot better...

but good luck..rangers look nice dropped

u made a good choice...what generation are u looking into getting? im pretty good with rangers so i may be able to help.

2000 is the one im lookin at now

i would never raise a truck but even if you lower a truck it could still be higher then some cars

ya this is true, but lowered trucks i love lol.......but ya i believe a 2000 ranger is a 3rd gen.....

ya i think it is 2, good choice...any specs on it?

Could go with 2 8" Ascendant Audio subs to git it loud. When we gonna bag the ranger? Drop it off up here at the shop and I'll take care of yah

if you lower a truck your probably not gonna use the bed so get a topper and put the subs in the bed, i wanna see a pimped out truck with a topper

I still hauled with my truck, and it had air ride :-P Pick ups with the smooth sided shells ( no windows ) painted to match look slick

What do you base that on? If you lift a truck do you use the bed more?

I think ride height does not effect the bed usage.

well hes deciding whether to get a car or a truck and he said himself he doesnt get why people have trucks unless they go mudding every weekend and he said one of his priorities was room for subs and he didnt mention anything about carrying cargo as a priority so i assumed that he wouldnt be using his bed for anything more things youd use your trunk for, seems like he'd be getting the truck more for looks than usability

Ahh your talking about him not the world in general thank you.

And the problem with that is????
