I really liked the tone of the ad, it was one of those "Yes I know you don't want a gas guzzling truck but if you if use one for your work now is the time, 50% off the MSRP". If you want a $30k or $40k truck for half price now is the time, $15k is a LOT of money but a lot less than it was last week. FWIW I heard a radio ad today (different place) and this dealer was only offering 40% off.
If you want a new truck and can justify it (gas was $4.45 yesterday in coastal N CA and $4.05 today in Cotati) now might be the time..

On a side note the kids (16 & 17 & spouse) were bitching about making the 12 hr trip in the Honda Civic (37+mpg this trip at 70+mph) rather than the VW bus (21 mpg at 70+mph).
I was wondering how long I can continue to make these trips. It would have been $323 in the bus vs $183 in the Honda. For a down and back family thing there is doubt what was a better idea.

Change is never easy, this change from cheap energy is not going to be fun and suspect the driving part will least painful part.

Now there'd be a deal!
