Now, if it got up to 5,000 lbs, yeah, I'd have to walk away (only because I know gas mileage is going to go down). A lil' extra weight has no difference for me.

What he said.

All that power, weight, safety, looks, and it still gets 24mpg on the highway. What's the problem??

From the IIHS.org when they crashed those new micro cars into midsize cars.

I'll take the extra heft if it means I'll have a better chance to survive a crash and live to drive a Camaro another day.
