I align about 5vw's of varying types during the week (we have several body shop accounts) I have yet to see one thats been in even a minor collison not tweak out the front end so bad that it didn't need either pulled on a frame rack or the whole front subframe replaced sure you can shif it all around and equalize the totals and then set the toe but its still fucked
so you can say an s-10 is a bad platform, but its easy to work on its fairly robust you can put any rwd engine and transmision combo made by the general in it with ease
so yeah stock for stock that fwd frame bending piece of shit you drive will hoe it.... hard ,but with a little work call it sweat equity if you want you can pick up a 1500 dollar truck with a blown motor a $500 craiglist special small block a $300 swap kit and some spray $500 and that same s-10 eats you alive for less than one years worth of your car payments
explained good enough? and hell i don't even like chebby's all that much
my point here is don't talk too much shit every car has it good and bad spots its minimizing the bad and capatalizing on the good that gets you to the end in front of the other guy
