I have that exact mindset, which leaves me trying to find something newer with low mileage. I thought about a truck and would love to get one but i dont think an s10 is going to achieve the gas mileage I need. Although i could really use my own trunk due to the amount of parts ive packed into the craptastic crapalier before lol. boon can back me up on that one when i left his house in a FULLY LOADED trunk to front seat cavalier LOL

Nuts, I forgot about the MPG part. My beater 93 K1500 4.3L V6 only gets about 16.
How about a Malibu Max?

pick up a mk4 gti, 1.8t gets 25 city/30+ highway, my cousin got his to turn 13.5s at ~105 with tuning, an open downpipe, and free mods, and would hang with terminators on the highway on the sauce
