I cringe posting this.. being a Chevy Man.. But too good to keep to myself!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
I got you all beat..
That's right...I can ride the metro..can your truck?
Sirscrapalot - That is not my car, nor do I have a metro/subway system on my sandbar.
'nuff said.
What my Chevrolet can do:
What my Dodge can do:
What my Ford can do:
The pictures are all mine, except for the Ford. My F-150 is broken, and at the mechanic. No, seriously, it is.
We owned a 2000 Chevrolet Impala. It was part of the ignition switch recall. My father abused that car within an inch of its life. He went over 30k without an oil change (Not a typo), wore the brake pads to the point where there was nothing when I changed them, and ignored any issues.
He was able to get that car to 217k before we sold it to a man for the body. We drove it to his shop. I've been stranded three times in my 2 Fords, and never in any of my Chevrolet's, including the green truck, which was left abandoned for 9 years. Ford couldn't build a truck to save their life.
Im gna have to disagree with you . much like vw cars they are awesome when running right . Just bought a full size f150 and guess what it needs work . I dnt mind , gives me something to tinker with this winter. I dont hate any trucks but I am not a fan of the Chevys bad turn radius IMHO . But I have seen many Chevys over 200k which is always good .
Buying ewaste and video games !
Back on theme with the title. I got a good laugh out of this one.
At least you can work on a Ford! A SBC is much easier for me. Every Ford breakdown I've had was the result of Ford turning a metal part into either plastic or nylon.
My Ford will turn sharper. I'll give you that. But, the 300 is overrated. The trailer in the first picture was roughly equal in weight to what I tried to tow with the Ford. The Chevrolet would do 50-55 MPH easily. In the Ford, it was foot-to-the-floor, and I was only doing 30. And, the Chevy is a 305. I'd love to see what she'd do with a 350.

Since I've taken up so much space, I'll add another few images.
Carry on...
matador: "USA! USA! USA!..."
Down here in NZ, its either Ford or Holden (GM). But I'm a MOPAR lover, so...
"The only race is for second place"
I've been through two Chevy's since I started scrapping six months ago...and the Dodge (which is MINE now) has been going strong and is in (mechanic's words) IMMACULATE shape for a 95. 123,000 miles on it with many more to go.
Problem is it's only a 2WD so this winter should be...interesting. I actually kinda want to go to something smaller like a Dakota and use the trailer more. We'll see what the business fund looks like after the winter.
"Don't try to be a great man, just be a man. Let history make its own judgments"
Since none of the American lines include a pickup car, **** em all.
@Matty I own a 1992 Dakota. It has the 3.9 V6 and the 5 Speed. It was 4x4, until the transfer case went out.
I've hauled over 1500# in the bed, and I've towed 5000# with it (Not at the same time). The Dakota will do as much work as my half tons will, is cheaper to run, and easier to drive. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
