The price of trucks has really shot up I bought some 2010 1/2 tons 4 wheel drive crew cabs fairly well equipped but not excessive they listed at $35,000 with fleet discounts I got them for abut $25,000. Same truck new this year is closer to $40,000. A year later the blue book on 2010s for a private party sale was about $25,000. On new 3/4 and one tons it's not hard to see $50,000 to $60,000 dollar trucks. A lot of this is the new fuel economy standards a two sided sword the additional equipment on the truck for fuel economy (Like Ford's ecoboost engine) and that if they sell to many trucks the manufacturer won't meet their cafe (corporate Average Fuel Economy) and the fines go into the millions of dollars quick. The fine is the amount they missed the CAFE standard x number of units they sold (all vehicles)x a per unit fine. That and most cars last 200,000 miles or more with normal care, pick ups even longer. The Chevy with 157,000 miles on it probably still has 75,000 miles left in it at 15K is about a 1/4 of what it cost new.
Reader's digest version- using gasoline or diesel is really bad, it causes global warming, it causes the world to hate us and want to kill us because we are using up all the world's resources, because we are using all the gas and diesel the third world doesn't have gas and diesel, people that drive pickups are also the same kind of people that have guns so they are evil and must be punished. So if your an evil gun loving person that wants to drive a pick up you must be punished. This is the hope and change that was voted into office a few years back, I don't care much for it but the majority has spoken, leave revolt or vote a new ideology into office.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
