Hey elhigh, yeah I wish I'd stuck with ecomodding years ago, I had a few fun rides in between which would have been better for modding I think. I'm married now and have responsibilities so my truck is more for practibilities lol...(I need a prius)
Like you said, I believe the truck is a solid investment as it has low mileage and they are very reliable which should last me. As I get some debt paid down and actually put a bit of money into it to get it running right, then I will have a stable platform to experiment with better fuel economy. Once I can get rid of the wifes grand marquis and hopefully get a prius or something, I will start playing with that too...dreams dreams
...also, yes, the s10 is long gone, I had a mazda b2200 recently which was pretty good on gas, but it got crushed by a tree a couple months ago...not cool lol
