Well...I guess if you live in a part of the country where pastures go up
for sale for $10,000,000, Freightliners and F-550's don't sound so
expensive.  Chances are, if a person is driving a 1989, it's not because
they simply prefer them over a new deisel.  

Personally, I terribly proud of my "new" 1994 Z-71 3/4 ton...and it's
PAID FOR. :-D  I'm afraid I'd have to go back to sleeping in the back of
the 2 horse before I'd consider putting that much of the family fortune
into a truck...more power to those of you who are willing to work that
hard though.
