    Default Question for you girly-man types

    So, I've been trying understand how any man can get through life without owning a pick up truck. I probably got my first truck when I was twenty and have had one ever since.

    One of my coworkers doesn't own a truck and I just don't get it. Carpentry is his biggest hobby and he will strap lumber to the roof of his mini van. He recently bought a new table saw and had it delivered.

    Don't misunderstand me. It's not like I haul stuff in my truck or tow things very often. But when I need to or want to I can do it on a moments notice.

    I saw a couple of metrosexual looking college aged guys at Lowe's recently who bought themselves a new grill. They took it out of the box and had parts and pieces stuffed everywhere they could get them in their Toyota Corolla. They were trying to figure out how the second guy was going to get home since he could no longer fit in the car with all of the grill parts and pieces in there. I just laughed, got in my truck, and left.

    So, for those of you who don't own a truck, how do you guys do it?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    Started driving Jeeps at 18. Got a Ford half ton at 23, immediately sold that for a big boy truck and went back to master race Mopar. I wouldn't go back to driving cars if you paid me.

    No truck here. Well, I have an Xterra and thats built on a truck bed, does that count?

    I own guns and avoid buying CCW purses.

    Besides, the only time I've never actually needed a truck was years ago when I bought a motorcycle in Ft Collins and had to pick it up.

    It didn't run, so I bought it for $250. Got it home, cleaned up the carbs installed new tires and sold it a few months later for $2k fully operational and tuned up.

    It's real simple, my manly self image doesn't rely on what I am driving.
