[AT] The terror strikes again. - 4WD

[Stephen Offiler]

Sorry to reply to my own message but since I still had the page open I just
priced out a truck.  Chevy 2500HD Work Truck with 6 liter gas engine,
automatic transmission, snowplow package, trailer tow package, bed mat.
 True Market Value (this is from Edmunds dot com, a popular research site
which gives negotiated bottom line out the door pricing) anyway this truck
is $28,000 with the current incentives (it's a 2014 and they need to make
room for the 2015's).  That sounds downright CHEAP.

SO
