There were many times my small car driving friends came to me and asked me to pick up things from furniture to top soil!
Of course they turned around and complained about my Durango!
LOL! Can I have one of each at the same time?
Yep, we’re constantly asked to help move this and move that.
My neighbor has an old ‘60s era Dodge truck he uses for the dump run. All the non-truck owners on the street are forever loading junk into it and nary a one offers to help when he makes his run to empty it.
Trucks are utilitarian, they serve a purpose, unlike those damn Prius’s that just get libs from one spot to another. All the while, they’re bitching about the choice of vehicle others drive.
If I could afford another car, I’d buy a decent econo box to drive back and forth to work, etc. and save the truck for when I need it. But that isn’t in the cards right now.
I suppose what’s being advocated here is that one must have “justification” as to why they should be “permitted” to purchase and operate a truck or SUV.
I pay a higher registration fee, a higher license fee, and I pay a HELL of a lot more in gas taxes as a result of my choice in owning a truck. Idiots!
