60 X 5 = 300 miles per week. That's only about 15000 miles per year commuting. Potholes, winter driving, hills, cold weather starting (I mean really cold)?? Towing, hauling kids around, picking up stuff at lumber yards, farm stores, fishing, hunting, vacation travel?? Check out reliability surveys in Consumer Reports, etc. Hyundia Elantra is now rated higher than Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic and has 100,000 mile warranty to boot and gets 40MPG EPA highway. My commuting mileage is 4 times what yours is and I buy the biggest but best riding and quietest trucks I can find and average year round 19 MPG. That's right. I put about 3000 gallons of gas a year thru it but I never need to have wheel alignment adjusted, pot holes don't faze it (20 inch wheels with big tires) and, with 6000+ pounds of truck, I feel a little safer than in a 2000# commuting car. My son has my previous truck and it has 350,000+ miles on it runs great. I have no doubt that I could put 500,000 miles on my truck with very little repair. These things are important to me: Safety, low noise levels, ride, little or no shop time, economy. I've tried a lot of vehicles over the last 50 years; diesels (MB, VW, Peugeot, Toyota); gassers (Buick, Olds, Ford, Toyota, Jeep etc.); and nothing comes close to a good truck and my current one has 4 doors with all the extras. XM radio, premium sound, leather seats with so many adjustments it took me a week to figure it all out. ESC, ABS, 4WD, GPS, CC, SR, etc. Soooo, your choice.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
