Not to mention the warranty work manditory if you want your warrenty to stay in effect, a friend has a newer burb and the service for warrenty maintainence was $800 that buys a lot of gas.

I keep all this in the back of my mind every time I have a desire for a new car.

However, I used to own a '91 S-10 4x4 extended cab pickup and really wish I still had it. It was so comfortable, reliable, good mpg's, and I could go anywhere in it and not have to worry about bottoming out. I really miss it during snow season.
