I just realized the tags on my F250 expired in December. Oh well, the furthest it's been driven since then has bee to the dumpster on the far side of the building...S'pose I should go over to the Taj Mahal and get some fresh tags for it sometime before the snow flies.
Hahaha! I've never owned a car in my life. All have been full size trucks. My wife has always said, "real men drive trucks". How right she is.
Can't answer that one for you, Ray. I've had a pickup as my every day driver for forty years. Well I did drive a Dodge 3/4 ton van for a couple of years.
Trucks are like garages, where if you don't have one, you don't need one. When I didn't have a truck or garage, I never took on stuff that needed a truck or a garage. I had a truck once, and it was great, but I only had it the months before totaling it, then getting a baby. Now I have a garage and feel like I need a truck again. My Amigo is smaller than most cars I've owned as far as interior space. When I bought a gas range for our house, I had to take it out of the box in the parking lot like in the OP's story with the grill.
EDIT: I have zero issue driving a minivan. I tried to convince my wife to but one but she wouldn't.
Yup, bigger tank means better mileage,,, LOL

Can't afford to buy one, let alone drive one. Not saying I wouldn't love to have one...but since I've had my license I've either been in school, unemployed, underemployed, newly married or having kids and in every case, I've been too poor to own one.Quote:

Threads regarding trucks sure do get a lot of quick replies.
Holy crap - I want this thing!

Once you go truck, you never go back.

I wish we had a pickup. I've got so many things to do that require a pickup truck- hauling garden stuff, landscaping material, wood for building, helping my elderly neighbors move furniture, etc.
Once our finances are a bit clearer, watch for my thread asking all of you truck owners about the pros and cons of various models of pickups!
Oh, damn, don't have a pickup currently ... how many anti-girly-man points do I get for a beater Jeep Cherokee? Real Cherokee too, not that fucking Fiat in disguise they are selling now.
I thought they discontinued this, presumably because most have 3rd row seats now and that f's with transfer case spacing.Quote:

Now there is a thread with absolutely no potential to go south...[handbags]Quote:

Where is Jer in this thread?
Oh wait, Tacomas do not count as trucks [Muaha]
Is it just me or does anyone else see the humor in truck "compensating" jokes followed by their preferred (sports) car?
Better not ask about Tacomas... Jer will be all over that thread! [Shake]Quote:

If it ain't a Chevy, then you just have a girly truck, especially if it's a Tacoma!
Wait, am I to understand there are men who don't own at least one pickup?

Don't think I'll ever own one unless I live out of town or something along those lines.
