Your homework assignment is:
"For the purposes of rubbish removal, a Chevy 3-ton truck is superior to a Taurus. Discuss."
Instead of doing the homework, post the question to usenet, then go to the pub...
In the morning, copy and paste the answer. Hey presto! Beats studying!

P.S.
Go for the Chevy, but avoid the 2002 model until they've fixed the problem whereby anyone can drive it away without a key, simply by hotwiring the outer left windscreen wiper to the air conditioning system, using the Automotive National Security Impenetrable Implementation method. It runs fast, but it bypasses the engine management system altogether, and eventually renders the servo inoperative (hence the manufacturer's marketing camapaign: Unbrakable).
