How about just biting the bullet and get yourself a Dodge?

Sorry guys, I am a die-hard Chevy fan, always will be, but what the hell can you cheer about at the bow tie dealer today? The last blow was the redesign of the vette; I think it looks a little to euro to me.

In the fall of 2002 was a sad day in the history of Chevrolet, went to buy a new truck or car at the dealership and all they had were AV front end style of the ’03 truck, sorry maybe those trucks will grow on me in time and for cars………rows and rows of the Monte Carlo and whatever uninspired new designs GM thought we would want.

Ended up buying a used 02 Z71………….I think that will be the last year of cars the Chevy made sense.

Besides, I think there is more pride in "rolling your own" rather than simply buying off the dealer lot.

Now who is ready to go out and lay down 40k for a 400hp rcsb pickup? It is not always as easy as throwing a big hp engine in there and go. You can choose to do that on your own but the General probably wants to avoid the liability and maintenance issues associated with this. Just food for thought. I would love to see it happen as much as the next guy but I doubt it will.
