I'd nearly kill to have a small pickup. My friend had an s-10 for a while, and I think I got nearly as much use out of it as he did. It also served as an economical vehicle to drive; IIRC he got close to 30 mpg.

I would LOVE to see them make small FWD pickups, or even start selling us Utes here in the states. The El Camino and Ranchero died too soon.
