Ahh a Windows luser...

....from Canada (the 51st state)...

....okay, that explains your aggression.  You're using an inferior
virus-riddled  operating system (from America) and are just jealous.

In any case, I hope to have this truck for a while. My first truck lasted
10
year and 120K miles. My second (GMC Jimmy) lasted six years and 150K
miles.
(Along the way, I ran into several people with GM trucks over 30 years
old.)

But back to the real discussion. You seem to be hell-bent on people like
me
dumping a perfectly fine truck for some sardine can.  Let's take a look at
my day, and how apt it would have been to own such a sardine can.

I started off by taking my family to church. So, the four of us piled into
the truck. We could've taken the Saturn, but opted for the comfort of the
truck. 

Smart Car? Nope. No seating for the rugrats.


Okay, after church rugrat junior and I took off to Lowes. I was building
some stairs in the back slope to get up to an apple tree I planted back in
December.  We bought about a half ton of bricks, concrete, rebar and
stones.  I threw this all in the back of the AV.  

Smart Car? Nope. No room for 1,000 lbs of masonry.

After working my ass off in the back yard, the boys wanted to head to the
park.  I obliged. We threw their two bicycles, scooters, the baseball bags
and ourselves into the truck and headed over to the s****ts center in town.

Oh, probably couldn't have put that all in the smart car either, eh?  (I
actually know a bit of Canadian.)

We then finished the day by piling into the truck and heading to my mom's
for dinner. My wife and rugrat senior walked/rode while I drove over with
the rugrat jr and two bags of salt for her salt system.  

Need I go on?
