Only kind of serious. I do like the steelies and roof rack quite a bit. I will be needing to get a daily driver here soon though. I graduated college and plan on travelling a lot. Every time I hop into one of these at work I think how awesome it would be to have a school bus that would get decent fuel economy. Then I saw the compact utility vehicle fad and actually have been considering something of the sort.

I have daily drove a turbo sierra, carbed 5.3 swapped blazer, and carbed 68 camaro for the last 2 years, and its time for something sensible.

68 factory ss. My dad and I restored it when I was in high school. tbi 350 with a holley sytemax top end kit, th400 w/2300 converter , 12bolt 3.42s. Great looking car, terrible daily driver. Cars have come a long way in 50 years. Within the last year I'd drive it whenever I had my stuff down, and recently the heater core broke in it, and the astro ventillation stuck upen. I refuse to fix it, because I should be spending the time in looking around for a daily or fixing what I've got lol. Just been caught up with life.
