I think we all know the answer.


I've in the last 10 years I've owned Dodge, Ford, GMC, Toyota, Chevy, International and Kenworth.

The one I like best is the one I get a DEAL on. I bought a GMC from a towing company for $1,000 and put 30,000 miles on it. That was good. Ran a Tacoma for 150,000 miles for just over $5,000. That was a deal.

Had to put a rebuilt engine in a GMC Sonoma at 135,000 miles, but then she ran for another 200K (sold it to one of my drivers, still running). That wasn't awful, in the end.

Anymore, though, these asphalt queens with their 17 speaker stereos, 23" infotainment center, 14 gear auto, 19 way adjustable seat pansy haulers have way too many failure points to ever be able to run economically.
