for me is is a lot more practical than a gasser. even at only 22-25 mpg for my 50 mile round trip commute it beats out my 77 C-10 by double the milage. of course there is the $ to get it up to par and make it road worthy. Ironically my alt crapped out today (or maybe my voltage regulator) - but even still it is worth it for me. I just don't like new cars - they don't appeal to me and are not worth the money. I also don't like being strapped for car payments every month either.

just the thought of paying 30K for something that prolly won't last 10 years makes me shudder.

my car maybe 26 years old, but with great sites like fastlane and mercedes source and this board right here i feel driving diesel is a better value - and most importantly fun.
