Well after some number crunching we or should I say big oil companies made our decision to get rid of one my trucks :'(

Costing us over $800 min. a month to fuel them at todays prices it wasn't hard. The old girl in the back is for sale but I need to keep the other one to tow the fishing boat. So we ended up buying a '08 G5 with a small 4 cyl. engine with the drivers package (sunroof,power windows, upgraded stereo, aluminium rims).

The CAA trip calculator says it will only cost $310 round trip to Disney compared to the Silverado at $760. Guess which one is going to Florida in Dec.
The funny thing is we both loved the trucks but now we are fighting over who gets to drive the putt, putt ;D ;D. This is the first little car I have ever owned and I love it but I had to get the windows tinted so no one can see me. LOL

Last summer we drove by the plant in Ohio where GM makes the G5.
One side of the plant is draped in a huge banner of the G5 & the Cobalt.

Hey Chris... the G5 looks sharp.

I've been thinking about getting rid of the gas guzzling mini-van... but my truck is an in-line 5 cyl. GMC Canyon. ; It's got great highway milage... but sucks gas in town.

That was the only way I could buy it and be able to live with it. For around two grand you get it with a bunch of extras and it doesn't look as econobox ; ;D

My friend will be happy when I tell him this, he had one and sold it six months later. He thought it was either him or the truck was a lemon because it was as bad or worse than his old 4.3 Jimmy. He loved it but couldn't keep it, cost him to much on gas.
