Yes we had a subaru when I was growing up it was a nice dependable car. It just got beat to heck in the a very severe thunderstorm that bombarded out town with softball sized hail. We caught a few as they came into the house and placed them in the freezer for insurance purposes. Was the biggest I had ever seen.
I would love to get a small 3 or 4 cylinder car right now to save me money. I am currently driving a 04 intrepid with a 2.7L six. I get almost 30 with it.

Well if hybrid technology is so great why are they not using it to save their truck division? Because it does not work. I have a truck and will keep it likely pick up something smaller for work for my wife. If I am going fishing then we need it to haul all the gear. You try fitting a kayak a 12 foot dory and all the fishing gear in a Toyota just won't fit. Plus we use ti to get dirt and stuff all the time.
I am betting there are going to lots of these big truck and vans sitting around. Might be worth putting in a still in the fire place this winter and convert the truck to alcohol. Yes you can get license for that just not sure on the set up if I could do it with out stinking the whole joint up.
