I don't use any of my vehicles for work. Company vehicle for the win, so all my vehicle use is for myself. I love my Audi in the winter, but since I have the truck now I probably will get rid of my Audi. it's a fun ride, low end isn't the best, but that girl will scream from 60-120 quick

My Tacoma also screams from 60-120.. but in a different way. More like "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that hurts!!" and 10 minutes later, you are doing 100 mph.

Also in SC we pay property tax on vehicles so the newer it is the more my taxes. I think my 91 is $13 a year and my 68 will be too due to age. My 2015 will be a few hundred a year until it gets a bit older.
Yeah I wanted to stay away from anything from Europe as far as cars go unless I have a second car to drive in the event the euro car craps out. The Camaro is very simple to work on, parts are cheap and readily available. It's easier to work on than my old Honda so far lol

I would take a Volt as a DD. I'd very nearly be able to do the whole week without gas on two charges during the week and then not worry about gas for the Camaro or lots of mileage.

Is there any difference if you get the diesel Colorado? Might be worth a few MPG.

Same. Tried to get good mileage for a few tanks of gas and it always went downhill when I had a nice good stretch of road in front of me.

Wtf is a fall break? Being off what, maybe 1 day for thanksgiving!

In other news I am so pissed off from people with the shittiest cars in the parking lot parking next to me. I always park far out. And usually with the same car perfectionist respect there is a black v6 and a plum crazy Challenger SRT8, black SS, yellow RS, red SLK Benz, and dark plum or whatever CTS near me, but not next to me. Then this shitty ass 3 color escort with masking tape for a permanent side window and stamped with stupid bumper stickers parks NEXT to me! In a field of open spaces! Dicks!
