  1. Not bad looking, but it's too big. I always liked the S-10 (made locally) because it was a real alternative to a fullsize truck for folks that wanted something smaller. With the Colorado (made locally until GM shut down the plant) I don't see why you wouldn't just buy a Silverado, etc.  At least with the former Colorado, it wasn't much cheaper when similarly equipped, and the fuel economy wasn't game-changing. Don't get me wrong, midsize trucks are perfectly adequate for most people's non-commercial use. But again, for the small money difference I can't see passing up the extra power/capability/comfort of a fullsize.

    Sorry for sounding so negative.

  2. Regarding Paul's comments about cleaning the engine, I was wondering how we can even be sure there is one under all that plastic! I remember once upon a time you had to cut a hole in your hood to fit a supercharger, now here's a small(ish) car with a Roots-style blower you can't even see when you pop the hood! :willy:

     

    Mook, I'm curious about using metal polish on those wheels. I always treat polished metal like paint if it has a clearcoat. Is the metal polish still the best option here?

  3. I'm waiting for the Z07. Or Z06, depending on who you talk to. It should be out in 2015 with impressive horsepower.  I may have to make a switch then. 

    But the new C7 is killer.  ALMOST makes me wish I would have waited.

    Almost.

    As killer as the next Z promises to be, I don't think anyone will say you made the wrong choice with yours, Rich! :cheers:

  4. Sorry to hear about your father-in-law's condition. It looks like he's taken good care of the Mustang, so maintaining it should be pretty easy.  Give it the 2 step polish followed by Brilliant Glaze and Americana wax. Assuming it spends most of its time in a garage, other than the occasional wash, you should just need to touch it up with Waterless Wash and Detail Spray.

    Of course, Adam's has you covered inside and out, so check out the  videos for interior and trim detailing as well.
