How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

I'm still buying the old rangers and S-10s whenever I need a vehicle. I will continue to necromance those damn trucks back to life until someone starts making the damn things again. Until a couple years ago my daily driver was a 91 Mazda B-Series (literally just a ranger with a Mazda logo). Now I'm onto a far newer 2000 GMC Sonoma (Identical to an S-10). I don't care how many trucks I need to weld together to get one that works; the auto industry can pry light trucks from my cold dead hands!
When the transmission in my s10 died I traded it in for a civic (which I still have and love) because i had no use for a truck at the time. If I had known they were going to stop making the damn things I would have gotten another one.
