Agree; trucks are cheaper to maintain, use fewer parts than the old ones. Hardly disposable. The C500s that are around are hardly running 3000 hours a year any longer, most are in cream puff operations doing low hours. And if you do find me a C500 running 3000 hours per year, lets look at maintenance costs after 12 months vs a truck built in last 5 years. Even a truck built in last 5 years with 10,000 hours on it. Continental/Waukesha vs Toyota 4Y or Mazda FE?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
