I like it!!

Many hippies ran out and bought the first Pruis because it was going to save the world, not taking into account the costs of building a new car and destroying an old one. When just looking at MPG it's an easy decision, but when you look at total (cradle to grave) cost of a vehicle the line begins to blur substantially. Tech from the 1950's is probably still pretty terrible when it comes to emissions so a new car would still probably be a better choice, but that guy has made sure to get every bit of construction cost out of that truck
