That's not a truck. No vehicle with less than a 3/4 ton capacity and complete towing package can be considered a truck. Calling that wussmobile a truck is akin to calling a poodle a dog. There shall be no debate on this issue.
I agree, of course I hate SUVs with a passion and those aren't trucks either IMHO.

BTW what do you drive rednekkPH . . . ?

The sunbird recently tossed a head gasket - should be back on the road in 2 weeks max. Other than that, all are in great running condition.

Nice selection, sounds like you are "well equiped." Maybe you could sell one to Shane as part of his Southern Makeover?

What did you do with it after it went up your nose? Did you:

A. Swallow it.
B. Let it come back out your nose.
C. Spit it out.

Yes, it is a (no-offense to rednekkPH) redneck sport to chase down guys in "fem" vehicles (which include certain import "trucks"). My brother-in-law lived in Texas and was chased a few times in his Jetta.

In own experience, I was driving my GF's Golf (she was in the car with me) and was chased by a couple of shirtless, shoeless drunk rednecks in a truck. I got them to following me into a not well know police sub-station where the cops blocked them in. Best part was when they opened thier truck door and a couple of empties fell out onto the parking lot. They claimed I threw a rock at them (riiiiiiight!). This was in the SF Bay Area too. I can only imagine what it is like in the South.

Yeah Shane you should probably follow rednekkPH's advice. Just get tinted windows so the locals don't actually see who's driving! :wink:

Remember Shane - whatever you choose, you can't go wrong with smokestacks, mudflaps with chrome nekkid chicks, a coon tail on the ariel, and a sticker depicting a #3 with wings and a halo.

when I was driving cross country years ago I was somehere around the OK/Texas border and I remember wondering if I had officially crossed into Texas yet. At that moment a white truck flew past me and air brushed on the side said "God Bless John Wayne"... I had my answer. Silly hillbillies :lol:
