Why don't you have a pickup truck?

Kernel Kraut · October 26, 2015, 11:42:18 PM

Not even just a Ford, or a Chevy, or a Ram. Any pickup truck. What is your excuse for not having one of the most useful vehicles to ever exist?

Even a shitty Toyota pickup would suffice as long as you have bed space to actually haul shit around with.

Scenario time:

A lady you admire is moving to a new location. She asked for your help for the move. In the end you may profit out of this endeavor if you play your cards right. One of the thing she is planning on moving is her dresser but you only have a Prius or a Smart car or what ever kind of car you faggot metrosexuals drive nowadays. It literally can't fit in your sissy clown car because all you can think about is, "MUH CITY LIVING"

That's when I roll up in my 91 Dodge Ram and offer to help. Mention I haul shit all the time, have tie down straps, and I can carry a lot of material. She thanks me for my help, I load her stuff up in my truck, and proceed to help her move. In the end I get the girl and you get nothing.

So, Why don't you have a least some form of Pickup Truck? Aren't you a real man?

Because I'm a car person

Jokes on you, I don't even have a LICENCE

Because I bum rides from other people like a champion.

Because I like having fuel economy over 20mpg on a car that I could afford.

I did. Didn't find much use for it and the 15 mpg was seriously draining my wallet. Now I get 37 mpg and have more money for useful things.

I'm paying on average 30 cents less per gallon of Diesel than you.

I have a car AND a pickup. Do I win the thread?

No, but you are a sensible person who can see the usefulness of a every day car to drive, and a truck to act as a utility vehicle.

Because I wouldn't like having to pay for gas twice a week.

Gas right now is $2.02 per gallon and still even then I end up paying less. Also diesel just happened to just now dip below gas in prices but we both know it wasn't that way previously for a long time and won't stay that way for long.

Good luck ever having to move anybody, or your self.

I moved twice with a 94 Camaro. I think someone could manage with a sedan.

Sandtrap · October 26, 2015, 11:52:43 PM

I have a snail and a picup truck. I'm good.

Cars aren't so good up here unless they're on city roads or paved roads. Not a lot of those out here.

164 miles a week in a 25 year old Diesel truck and I only fuel up once a week.

I get nearly 500 miles out of a tank......

Who said I am anywhere near Empty when I fuel?

Besides, you're not in an awesome truck.

And my fuel gauge hasn't worked for three weeks now.

And I paying 2.59 a Gallon compared to 2.99 or 3.01 for Regular Unleaded

And My tank isn't anywhere near empty when I fuel up on Monday mornings.

And I like to take impromptu 30 mile trips to the desert on Saturdays and I only ad an extra 15 dollars to my tank to do so.

oh, and it's almost all in-town driving. Very little time on the Freeway.

Pickup drivers are, objectively, the shittiest drivers.

Even the elderly are not nearly as bad.

Kek. Unleaded is around 1.88 where I live, and Diesel is about 2.35.

Feels good to live dangerously close to industrial manufacturing sectors.

You've never driven around minivan driving soccer moms. Literally the shittiest drives on the planet. When you couple that with the douchbag dudebros that drive pavement queens, you get the perfect duality of shit that infests Southern California.

Asians are only a small problem and rarely leave their communities. I have to deal with Dude Bros and Soccer Moms all the fucking time.

Zonda · October 27, 2015, 02:57:04 AM

I'd like to get one, either an old Toyota Hilux or a

Holden Kingswood ute.

Of course, a Trailer would also suffice if you don't move often.

Saleem · October 27, 2015, 03:02:19 AM

Kinda need a truck up here, particularly in winter. A car would just get buried.

In my hypothetical situation that would never happen the girl is also a Tyrannosaurus and hates pick up trucks.
