 My butthole cruiser, just sold it two weeks ago. I like it how it is ok to own a big useless truck to pull your luxury yacht, but no mention of the guy who uses one to haul construction equipment, or materials, to maintain his home, and buisness property. Or to snow plow his lot, or tow broken cars in for repairs, or haul firewood to keep his family warm. Or maybe to have something capable of hauling your race car safely, or to bring home the occasional project car, or maybe just because I am just a dumb arse redneck, and wanted one because I think they are cool.. Any how, here is to being a butthole, I have to go now, am in the middle of putting smokestacks on my new truck. No offense meant to you in my former post Normy, green font intended. Different strokes for different folks.

I think that he was talking about people that have these trucks with no intention of ever towing or hauling anything with them. There are folks around here that but diesel trucks as sports cars and status symbols that put on mods that make them less functional as a truck. Last edited by masraum; 10-02-2011 at 12:32 PM.. |

Not 4 doors...a firewood hauler/hunting rig/trash hauler...But I gotta confess, if the "greens" passed a law saying only one vehicle per household? My choice would be a pickemup...

I really dig my Dodge 2500. I would not give up the 8' bed for hauling, nor it's ability to haul the equipment trailer or dump trailer (both of which, kitted up are well over 10000 lbs). But why would a guy drive a big ass truck having little need for the capacity or the poor ride quality? I think the used truck market suggests that demand is weak. 3/4 ton diesel pricing does not look very strong. |

The thing that indicates the butthole is the exclamation mark behind one's screenname...

If my lifestyle leads guys like Normy to call me a butthole, I'm doing something right in life.

I saw a dually here there other day with what looked like wheels from a big rig except that it looked like it had 35 or 40 series tires on them. It was lowered in the front, had side skirts, a front air dam, huge vertical stacks in the bed, a back bumper that had no way to tow anything and looked like the guy had tried to turn it into a sports car. When I saw it, the guy was on the side of the road getting a ticket.

Hey Normie, you don't really need a V-8, do you? You never get use all that horsepower... what's the top end on that thing?
C'mon, get yourself a Prius or a Miata and then you can be closer to what you're trying to be. Then you can gripe about almost everyone... even people in 6-cylinder Hyundais.
