My first DSM was a bad ass black 90 that I had way too much fun in but had to get rid of in self defense.
I loved that car but certainly wouldn't trade my 08 SS for it.
Maybe my 69 Econoline Conversion Van, 70 Skylark, 70 Nova, 68 Chevy stepside & 74 Vega all put together if they were all restored

I'd hand over my keys for the 1st car I ever had, a 1953 Chevy 210 Deluxe..
Same colors as this picture, but mine was a 2 door.. Miss that one..
But that was back in 1969 when I got it.. I was still not old enough to legally drive..
(key word: legally)...LOL & yes I know this one has a few 1954 parts on it..

For a daily driver I am not sure what I would have bought in this price range.
I want a small truck but hate the Colorado. It feels too cheap for what it cost even in the top trim.
I don't need a full size truck.
A Trailblazer SS used might have been considered.
My original plan was to buy a Solstice coupe and keep my old truck. But I really did not want 5 cars for only two people here.
The wife also did not want another 2 seater in the family unless it was a Vette. We have an understanding that I will have one at some point.

I will be giving my SS to my daughter next year so I need to get another vehicle. Potential replacements:
2011 Camaro (although not sure I can get down in and out of it on a daily basis)
2011 Challenger or Charger (although the interior is very bland)
2011 Mustang
I really like the Equinox, but need something faster. Same goes for the Fusion. Right now I'm waiting for the Buick Regal to have a bigger engine.
Already have an Avalanche and Grand Prix.
