Not true. Diesels require expensive maintenance. They typically will last far longer than a gas engine if they get that maintenance regularly but if you skimp on maintenance you'll get burned badly. A lot also depends on who makes the diesel. I don't know who makes the Ford Powerstroke engines but they have serious problems with bad injectors and even if you DIY the parts are pricey as well. The Dodge uses a Cummins diesel which generally are insanely reliable but it's essentially a big truck diesel depowered so it wont twist the frame on the Dodge. Too bad about the Dodge transmission though. The very best truck would be (IMHO) a F250 King Ranch with a Dodge Cummins diesel and a Chevy Allison transmission. You'd have a truck you could drive for over a million miles with little to no problem. For a car I don't think a diesel is such a great idea. I see electric as the future for cars. Maybe 5-10 years and then gas will start to fade, 20 years at the outside. I say this as someone who drives a big v-8 and loves it but you can't stop the future.

I think people that are really into music use the net. Casual listeners like myself just turn on the radio and let it flow. Most of the types I know that live with earbuds stuffed in their ears 24/7 get all their tunes online but not everyone is that heavily involved. For most people FM radio is adequate to their needs.

Ah...that's what happened. I wondered how it got screwed up. I noticed one day that my searches weren't working the way I expected and I noticed I was suddenly using yahoo. I couldn't figure what the hell had happened. I changed it back to google and it stayed there but I was wondering.
