wintersucks Champion Author Minnesota Posts:1,008 Points:15,060 Joined:Feb 2008	Message Posted: Aug 22, 2008 7:33:38 AM Ignore wintersucks Report Abuse since this thread started untill about amonth or so ago, fuel has doubled so i guess that would be a big fat nope. just wouldnt pay for the little driving that i do that doesnt require the pickup. (guess the bike fills that gap seasonally but thats just a perk and doesnt have anything to do with why i have it).

I am waiting for the technology on the Chevy Volt to become available before I would even consider it... The biggest factor would be having the cash to pay for it. Car companies make more on the financing than on the car mark ups...
