Charlie that's what I thought when I saw that truck......damm that we be fun to own.

Crazy story.....
We bought a used Toyota Tercel with 130,000 miles for $900. Karen drove it pass 200,000 miles in 3 years. I never changed the oil. It would burn a quart of oil a week so I added a quart of drain "used" oil on Sunday before the work week started. Change the oil filter once a year. Put tires on it and one rear wheel bearing while we had it. Finally got something better for Karen to drive. Then it sat behind the barn for three years until my mom went into assisted living. I had to get rid of it so I call a local junk yard. I jump into the car with yellow jacket flying everywhere. To my surprise if turned over. I pumped the accelerator a half dozen time and it fired up. Drag the rear tire across the yard because the brakes were frozen.

Nobody "was" a bigger fan of GM then me.

If GM built them like they use to I would still be driving one.
