Picked Up A New Ride Should I Keep The Bird

I picked up a 2004 Silverado last month. It has a 5.3, 15k miles, Weld Wheels, I believe 4/6 Drop, Carpeted Bed, and Tonneau Cover. The Delership (Elk Grove Chryler) Advertised the Price wrong so I got a smokin deal.

I'm definetly selling the Probe. But the bird I'm still not sure about. I got alot of work in that car but It's a love/hate thing. I think I've hated it more in the past 2 years than loved it.

Should I sell it Keep it????

The more you drive the truck the more fun the t/a will be when you drive it. I would keep it as a weekend cruizer/toy.

Pretty sure askin' a 3rd gen board if you should keep your 3rd gen will net you the same response every time.

Keep it.

Unless it really sucks that bad, then let somebody else love to hate it.
