Thank you.

Now we know why Ford made a profit last quarter.

IMO, better Ford or GM than Toyota or Hyundai. That is if it had to happen, which I wish it didn't. Screw the taxpayers once again.

I have a couple of daily drivers. But I have owned a pickup truck of one kind or another since the mid-eighties and I will only be going larger this next (upcoming 3/4 ton) truck.

I went from a 1/2 ton to a 3500 dually. Loved that truck.
Then went back to a 1500, great truck, but just didn't feel right.
Found the 3/4 Avalanche, and I think it's the best vehicle I've ever owned. I love the look of it, and with the 8100 in it, I have no worries about power.
Only 43K on it now, so I don't intend on buying a new truck anytime soon.

I have owned a GM pick up since 1989, always at least one to as many as 4 at one time. They serve a purpose that a Prius never will. If I didn't need one for work or boat pulling I would never own one (they are slow, handle like sh!t and get bad gas mileage). But until I no longer need one, I will always have one! I think the same of all SUV's as well.

I just couldn't even think of not having a truck in the stable.
Slow - not mine
Handle like sh!t - not mine
Bad gas mileage - yeah, guilty.

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

The "Cash for Clunkers" program was great for the economy. Unfortunately that economy was in Japan!

People who USE trucks will always drive trucks. F*ck hybrids!

x1000 well put Matt. Won't catch me with a hybrid in my driveway anytime soon!

Still need something to haul my tools when I'm not pulling the boat.

True, but... I would like to own a 3/4 ton truck for towing the boat (once or twice a year), a two-seater convertable for "pleasure driving", and a fuel efficient (maybe even electric) car for daily comutes.

Just because someone has/needs a truck, it doesn't mean they can't own something else.

Mercedes Benz SL-500
Harley Softail Custom
Chevy Volt

I have a Sky Redline to cover the two-seater. I still drive the truck more than the car.

If I ever went "green", it'd be in a Tesla Roadster.

Worked with Tesla and Fisker at my last job. Some super cool technology, but it comes at a price.
