they are expensive... a comparable car in the chevy line up is what... 15k? fully loaded for maybe 18?your paying 10k over that, no? Its "frivilous spending" for a young person who should be driving a corolla or something at our age guys

and I dont care what I get as a rental... as long as it will take the abuse I give it and its fun to drive...
