Bringing back an american classic?
Apparently Studebaker is developing and soon to be manufacturing new vehicles. All of which will be powered by a diesel/electric hybrid motor.

thats great seeing as how DEISEL is more expensive than regular.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

also better mileage and better for the environment. all the better stuff is always more expensive. it received a price purge after the whole influx
of diesel cars hit the market. it USED to be cheaper.

Diesel engines last forever.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I think Diesel is pretty close to $5 a gallon.
How many miles is the average diesel pick up good for?
I know deisel doesnt burn fuel when they just idle.
The Torque some of them things put out is incredible.
One from ford is over 500 ft lbs

My friends got a dodge ram 2500 turbo diesel double cab with some aftermarket performance parts that gets 28 mpg cruising and about 20-22 with the
pedal to the floor. Can hit 90+ just going up an onramp. He got it used for 15k and put in about 2k in aftermarket parts. A diesel engine will
easily last more then 300 thousand miles. After I get my old ford done I'm planning on getting a nice big diesel.
