Ming, I agree with you for the most part. I live up in Huffman, and they are predicting October before our power is back on. The whole south/southeast region was blasted by Ike. I work with a guy that had 5' of water in his house. My aunt and uncle had 8' of water in theirs. Ive lived here my whole life and have never seen anything like it. Its tough when you live near the coast, and year after year, you hope a strong hurricane goes the "other" way, but just like with Ike, we were bound to get hit sooner or later.

Back to your article. My 95 chevy half ton 350 short bed gets 16 mpg to and from work, but im fortunate that theres a shell gas station on highway 90 open 24 hours, and theres maybe 2-3 cars filling up every morning at 3am. Im really cramped with this truck, but Ive been able to get by for quite a while with it. Within the next couple of months, my plan is to purchase a used cobalt for my trek to and from work, and a duramax c/c 4x4 for the workloads. I do like the idea of more colorado/small pickups with 4cyl 5spd packages, but not car base p/u's. Whats your opinion on the pontiac G8 p/u? Would you like it more without the v8?
