I brought my S10 home. She had 168,000 miles then and now has 171,500. She is in retirement and enjoys relaxing time parked in front of my house.
Have the first picture I ever took of her and the latest one.
She has gotten a new radiator, thermostat, radiator cap, new rear transmission seal, and a tune-up. Not bad. The A/C needs charged once a year and the ABS no longer functions. There is also a major exhaust leak so she smells...ripe, to say the least. And she smokes a little at startup thanks to old and tired valve seals.
But, she keeps on going. Comes in handy for assorted truck things and I also drive her when there is severe weather forecasted so I won’t end up with hail damage to my 6.

I’ve put about that many miles on the BMW since I bought it in January.
Although in the 3 years I’ve owned the Galant it’s only driven a bit 5000 miles, because it’s spent half that time on jackstands, and has always been too sketchy for trips longer than 30 miles.

I like the hybrid sticker. My S-10 is a Hybrid when over 70 MPH :P

It’s a good solid trucklet.

Found that decal on Amazon and had to buy it. The cloud of blue smoke when I start the truck only affirms my decision.

GM called it “Raspberry.” Mine is quite faded. Here it is new:
