Lightbulb THEORY: Own a Porsche? Likely you also own a truck.

I have a theory. It seems most all my friends who own a Porsche also own an truck. Maybe this is because you can't haul much in your 911 that you get a subconscience need to have a vehicle for hauling things. Let's see your porsche and your truck. Doesn't have to be in the same photo, but let's see if my theory rings true.

Here's mine:





Okay, that's not my truck.... this is....

Somehow this thread is going to wind up about super small pee pees.

The FJ is not really a truck, but serves the purpose of snow/hauling/towing stuff;



Cheers,

Paul.

Nope, not for me. My other car (aka winter beater) is a 98 civic hatch. The only other car I have owned was a 91 Golf. All small cars. You would be surprised what you can hall in a 911.

I have a 1983 GMC S-15 which you can see thru. That is the acreage/beater garbage hauler. I also have a 2008 Torota Tacoma TRD which is the trailer hauler/ski machine. And a 93 Civic which is the economy run-about. Of course my Porsche doesn't actually RUN, and is in pieces in my garage.

The need to tow or haul = truck.

If you have only one vehicle, it has to do everything - commuting, hauling family, groceries, equipment etc. It ends up being a compromise at everything.

If you have multiple vehicles, each one can specialize.

Hence the thread starter's premise makes sense. Own a Porsche, own a truck.

I have a 5.5 porsches, 2 trucks.

It was suggested I define truck. I guess what I mean is OPEN AIR BED IN THE BACK and you can carry a fully assemble swing set down the road even if it sticks out the back. How's that for THE definition? Also, a 928 does not qualify for a truck, sorry. KEEP THEM COMING. So far I like the boxes in the back of a Targa window, that was good.

If you expand the definition of truck to include Jeeps, vans and SUV's I bet you double the positive responses.
