1989 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe, Extended Cab, 2wd review from North America
"I drove it through a brick wall once."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new starter. Needed a new alternator. Those were the only 2 times the truck has not started on me.
Rust under the door and on the bottom of the extended cab were expected, but it hasn't gotten out of hand.
General comments?
I sleep better knowing I have a vehicle I just beat the crap out of and it will still start like it just rolled off the line.
Cheap replacement body parts are a good thing.
I hate to be cliche, but the little thing really is like a rock.
I did drive it through a brick wall once. I might have well just spit on it. I haven't met a force yet that can stop my lil' rusty S10.
