$100k though which is a bit to rich for my blood at this time. I'll have to wait until the low mileage lease returns start showing up and snag one for $50k or so.

I bet I don't have to fight to get it to start in the winter either!
Sweet! And I'll have to wait until you're done with it and snag it for $10k or so.

The diesel pumps are right it with the gas pumps here, too. Often they share the same pump head.

I almost wish they were segregated so I didn't have to deal with all of the a--holes jockeying for position for the gas...
