    I hope not, gasoline would really screw up those diesel engines.

    Possibly, but to compare, you are talking about a F-350 sized truck at those prices. I don't know that a $75k truck would be worth it as it wouldn't be as good as other trucks in that range. Hybrid vehicles are more like $5k more though, so it would be more like a $40k truck.

    one out of every 20 americans bought a new car last year. What does that tell you? americans like buying shiny new cars.

    That tells me an entirely different thing. It tells me people are replacing their cars every 20 years, or buying used much more often. As people typically buy a new car every 3 years on average, that tells me that far more people buy used cars.

    I'm not sure where you got those numbers, my truck was near $35k, 0% APR 60 mo, and costs me $577.77 for the loan. If you just take 35k/60 it is 583.34, so I can't see how you got 624.79 unless you are including destination, tax, etc fees.

    As this car should last longer, you may be able to get other loan terms such as 10 year, but they will have higher than 0% apr.

    You can pay twice as much, but you can't ever get away from yourself, so you will still be stuck with the "pillow biting faggot".

    My Tundra cost right near $35k, and it can tow 9800 lbs, haul 1700 lbs, has plenty of space for 5 normal sized adults to comfortably sit in it, but burns gas at 15 mpg.

    Personally, I would trade in my Tundra in a heartbeat if someone would come out with a serial hybrid truck.

    Yes, it does have a real scientific meaning, rather than the unscientific crap you spewed on the screen.

    Autism is a spectrum of disorders from fully functioning people all the way down to completely dysfunctional.

    They found that over the 40-year-span, the proportion of obese men worldwide more than tripled, to roughly 11 percent, and the proportion of obese woman more than doubled, to about 15 percent.

    60%? Where did you get 60%, it appears that TFS says 15% of women and 11% of men, not exactly anywhere near 60%.

  24. No one asked Apple to make a free patch. It was to be paid for.

    Many times the police will contract with safe manufacturers to break into a safe they need access to. Also, the banks will open a safety deposit box for the police with a warrant, so I am not sure why they would have someone drill it out. You could even have a locksmith pick the lock, it isn't like those locks are especially secure.
