I traded in my 1995 GMC Sonoma 2wd, reg cab, swb which was lowered 5" front & rear with all Belltech suspension (nothing OEM there) 18" wheels and a 1996 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, 2 door, 2wd which I also lowered 5" front and rear with Belltech & Chassic Tech componets and 20" wheels. Kinda miss them trucks but I do love my Colorado.

From the newest to the oldest via order of ownership:
Current 2007 Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab ZQ8
1995 GMC SONOMA (LOWERED 5/5)
1996 CHEV BLAZER (LOWERED 5/5)
1994 CHEV S-10 EX CAB (LOWERED 5/4)
1991 GMC JIMMY 4X4 (STOCK)
1985 CHEV C10 WRANGLER 2WD LONG BED (LOWERED 6/6)
1987 CHEV S10 (LOWERED 2/3)
1986 CHEV S10 (BODY LIFT PRERUNNER)
1984 S-10 BLAZER 4X4 (STOCK)
1973 VW SUPER BEATLE (STOCK)
1985 CHEV CAMARO BERLINETTA (T-BAR ROOF)     

I'm a GM pure bread.

Just added another to the GM stable, I just bought a 2005 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB Z71 4X4
Should also mention my wife has a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT. Funny thing is the three vehicles we now own are all black, I guess I got nothing better to do with my time but keeping these maintained.  :D

The snow is always fun for sure just the constant not knowing if your gonna get there when your dragging your ass around (air dam & cross member) plowing snow on a regular basis. Plue we get salted to death on the east coast.

Then bought a '99 Saturn which was great till it started using around 1.5 liters of oil a week but still got $1000 when i sold it ;D

A lot of previous S10 owners around here?

What did you drive before you bought your Canyon/Colorado?
Mine was a 96 S-10 ext-cab three door .

My old 94 S-10 ex cab was the same color. My in-laws joked calling it gay pride purple  ::) Radar blue I'd tell them  :P it was a different color and it did look good  8) . I had installed a Sonoma hood, factory roll pan body panel, color matched the grille and installed a plastic oem color matched 4x4 air dam. Of course it was lowered 5" front & 4" rear.

That was the first one I lowered. Went wit a kit 4/5", about a 4 hour job . The only bad part was the front bolt, drivers side by the gas tank . I hit my head all the time getting in . Bought the 04 Canyon in November when it was hit .

Yeah that bolt was a pain by the gas tank, upon reinstall I turned it the other direction facing inwards instead. Easier if you ever have to disassemble again.
