this is like pulling teeth as I love this fucking truck - a loaded 06 Chevy Silverado FWD Hd 2500.

Not a Diesel.

I am going to go ahead and get a fucking car and I am wondering what to get.

I think I am going to get something partially used and sporty, BMW, Audi, Lexus or Mercedes.....any recommendations are welcome.

Obviously this is a gas mileage decision and my need for a truck is slowly fading into my past as I have built my company and have employees that now drive trucks for me.

I wouldn't mind some other asshole taking the first year's equity hit and getting something from last year...but I don't know much about this.

Rox Covert is a friend as are some of the higher ups at Don Hewlitt, but I am looking for something foreign if I am going to do this.

Agent's Denali is bad ass, but the wife/ soon to be ex wife is driving an 06 Taho Z71 and I don't need another SUV....\


I guess I am entering that "buy a corvette and take your secretary on a cruise" stage of life, but I have all of my hair.


How can I look cooler than I am and not get ripped off?

i've had 2 beamers and loved them both, but they hated me. i totalled them. i highly recommend them and i'm not giving up. i'll drive them again

[RaginKajun]

man, that's a sweet truck...near the top of my truck list when i was buying a new car. but, like you said, with my day to day lifestyle i really couldn't justify rolling in a big rig. definitely like the ease and economy of my car, but would like to be in a truck.

[AggieJen02]

RK has a pimp car. with the built in navigator in the dash.

[BYU Born (roveram)]

I had a 5 series a few years ago and fucking hated it. Blowouts all the time. One time I left the fucker on the side of the road on the Indian Nation turnpike and had somebody come and pick me up.


I'd stick with the big truck.

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

my truck is starting to get a little long in tooth. i have no clue what i would get as a replacement. it's hard to imagine driving a car.

[Thethreeyardout]

"it's hard to imagine driving a car. glare.gif"


I hear that, I just can't justify 9mpg any more.

this sucks.

that is why I am trying to get myself something nice to make the transition a little easier....but no way in hell I want to take that first year's depreciation myself.

my brother in law just bought a BMW, and the guy that "brokered" the deal for him, some kind of interstate/national sports car broker calls me about once a day, but, I don't want a new one like he wants me to get.

Unless you are paying cash for one, you will get a better interest rate on a purchase or a less. Also, on new cars there is usually some sort of rebate, you will not get one with a used.

Oh yeah, the warranty on used cars is transferable, but most likely will almost be used up (i.e. 3 year 36,000 miles).

Buying a new one might be in your best interested, but that is a decision you have to make.

F'ing love my Denali. Worrying about gas prices is for pussies. If you can't afford 300 a month in gas, you shouldn't be driving a nice car.

Get what you want. Don't settle for some shit you don't love.

[Thethreeyardout]

Doc, I live way the fuck out in the Hill Country....100 dollars a day in gas is not out of the question anymore.

All of my business is in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio or Houston.


Just getting home from my office sucks...and I refuse to move.

I kept your attitude for as long as I could, but paying for gas in C notes, almost daily, is getting old.

[houstontexan]

makes no sense. if its literally for just getting to and from point A to B, i'd pony up the pussiest 40-50 mpg whore i could find...like a civic or something. little maintenance difficulties, good mileage, etc.

[houstontexan]

but i'd keep the truck if at all possible for the war in 20 years.

[Thethreeyardout]

that's what sucks...I am partial owner in a ton of ranch land that I either will or will not be keeping post divorce.

If I am still in, I will need a truck like this back...


fuck.

[BYU Born (roveram)]

Keep the fucking truck yards!

[BYU Born (roveram)]

Here's a perfect example of why I love big vehicles and don't give a shit about how much gas is:


Cruising back from the lake the other night in my Jeep Grand Cherokee I tagged a deer head on. Luckily I didn't die. Had I been in my Z71 that mother fucker would have been plowed.

Fuck gas mileage. I have kids.

I'm gonna have to go with Doc on this one.

Bunch of big-bank-havin-motherfuckers on this thread.

[Techsan]

I need a 1 ton with a 400 HP, 7 liter engine to haul around all of my money and gold bars. I don't mind getting 8 mpg.

[Tex Pete]

I am keeping my truck, but plan to buy an Infiniti G37 in the not-too-distant future. FWIW.

[Thethreeyardout]

i was looking at those as well.

[Techsan]

Audi S5 appears to be pretty bad ass if you're going that route.

[sammy]

I drive a Z71 Tahoe, and ive been thinking about trading it in on a smaller jap/german car, too.

Oh the ones ive looked at i like the IS's, TL's and 335's.

I have an SS camaro as a 'weekend' car, and everytime i drive it to work for the day, it makes me thankful to be able to commute in the Tahoe. I just dont know if i could actually pull the trigger and ditch the Truck.

I drive a late nineties ford ranger. It has that rugged, manly feel that is sure to make the panties drop, yet it's sporty, handles well, and is fuel efficient. The four cylinder model gets a lot of negative feedback regarding its towing capacity, but I have no problem driving around with a bag of dog food or even a cinder block or two.

I am so pissed off at my gas bill right now that NOTHING is off of the table.

I would have no problem driving a truck such as that, I just don't know if I need another truck.

The small trucks only get marginally better mileage than the big un's.

I'm trying to hold out for another year, but it looks like for me, if it ain't gettin 30 mpg, I ain't gettin it.

I'm tired of this shit.

Ultra, mine isn't extended cab.
