FINALLY I'm back to a GM truck. My first real vehicle purchase when I was 20 was a 99 GMC Sierra Sport Regular Cab. For some reason I went ahead and traded that for a 2002 F150 extended Cab. 2 full transmissions in 48k miles later I traded that for a 2007 Chevy Tahoe lease. As nice as Tahoe's are, I seriously missed having a pickup.
Now as of 6pm Sunday I am back to GM and pickups with:
2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Extended Cab 4 x 2 in Blue Granite Metallic. First vehicle i've driven regularly that hasn't been Red, Black, or White and I'm loving the color.
The only one great thing about owning the F-150 was the online community at F150online. So, I'm hoping to enjoy a similar or even better community experience here at SilveradoSierra.com.
Oh yeah, and I'm a diehard Miami Hurricanes fanatic
