    Why do people always have to compare vehicles? Each vehicle has a positive and a negative... I just don't get it? If it rolls down the road, and hauls the scrap there, what's the difference?

    Today I'll drive my $400.oo 90 Ford 1/2 ton 4x4........tomorrow I may be driving my $900.oo 74 Chevy C-30 pulling the trailer I make out of the Ford, next week the 350 in the 74 could be in another truck hauling the leftovers from the 74.......... If it runs it don't matter what brand it is, if it quits it's still a paycheck and/or parts for the next one.
    I even haul scrap in my Vette and in a back pack on my Harley-Davidsons.
