Here is the story of how "Good to the
last drop" was created. I graduated in 1992 from Howland High
School and my parents got me a 1992 S-10 Tahoe (I know, pretty
lucky, huh?). I already had (and still have, but that's a whole
different story) a 1989 Geo Spectrum. The Geo was supposed to
be for show purposes (and still is) and the S-10 was supposed
to be my daily driver. That plan was working out for about a
year. I started hanging out with a truck club...and eventually
joined. We were called the "Sophisticated Few." Almost everyone
in the club had an S-10. I thought I had the "strength" to leave
my truck stock and just drive it. To make a long story short,
one night I called my dad and told him I was going to be late.
He proceeded to ask me why and I said that we (me and my friends)
were lowering my truck. That is when the saga began. The list
of modifications (as of now) has taken about three years of
mine and my friends hard work. Before I get into the specifics
of the truck, I would like to thank all of the best friends
in the world who have helped me along the way. This truck would
have never been possible without them! Now, on to the specifics...
