LOL
I've been feeling superior using my pickup truck to drag some beautiful oak
home recently.
I'd been considering trading it for a little SUV, my wife uses it to commute 20
miles a day and I thought she'd appreciate the better gas mileage.
If I'd done that I'd need to buy a better trailer, my little snowmobile trailer
isn't really up to the task.
That pickup is surely going to pay for its continued existance this summer.
Oh, and all winter it hauls snowmobiles around. In May we'll use it to haul a
new lawnmower to camp. At camp it'll haul us the 3/4 mile in which wouldn't
happen in some smaltzy AWD car. It'll haul trees to plant, rocks for the road
and bump start the tractor.
On that point, it'll BARELY bump start the tractor. To pull start a Farmall
Super M farm tractor we really should have a full size pickup...

Yes, I acknowledge that .00001% of the population can actually use
their
SUV's "functions" .00002% of the time, but up here in Western
Warshington,
they're about as useless as tits on a bull, yet they're still absurdly
ubiquitous. My wife's "new" Quattro wagon puts her somewhere in with
that
silly mix, but hey, she says she needs AWD--pfft, whatever. My
neighbors
have a Ford Exploder and Lincoln Navigator--they're both 2WD!!! WTF's
up
with that?

Damn, I'm full of piss n' vinegar this morning. The Jehovah's
Witnesses
better not show up at my door, today.

If somebody is going to be too lazy to even change their own oil, they
should at least look under the car and see if anything is leaking out
and check the level before the leave the oil change place.
