Shanghai GMC dealer offering five tons of free gas with truck purchase

Big trucks just aren't appealing enough on their own, at least in some places. For proof, look to a Shanghai GMC dealer who is offering about three years worth of free gas to anyone who buys a new Sierra Denali. Too bad it'll take about 20 years to pay off the big truck.

That makes this year a tricky one for dealers, according to ...

    Clearly, we weren't the only ones who spent the better part of their childhoods building all manner of strange and wonderful Lego vehicles.
