(OP) User ID: 72099278 United Kingdom 10/16/2016 03:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They are big, ugly, ride badly and consume vast amounts of petrol. Quoting: Just A Heroin Junkie Over here pickup trucks are used as a utility vehicle and not as a family car. Are you Yanks born stupid or is stupidity something you learn? I get 26 mpg in my full sized pickup. YOU on the other hand can't haul shit in your little car, if you buy something like a bed/furniture etc... you have to pay extra for it to be brought to your home. Dumbass... I got Amazon Prime so don't need a dumbass truck to haul shit. Does Amazon Prime deliver bales of hay? Yeah, I don't think so. They actually deliver multi kilo bags of hay here in the UK surprisingly. I just searched on Amazon, didn't expect that. Last Edited by Just A Heroin Junkie on 10/16/2016 03:49 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 47643906 United States 10/16/2016 11:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll try to explain this OP the best I can.. Living here in Texas, I would say I'm an authority on this subject. Okay, I own five different vehicles, one being a truck. I use the truck very sparingly these days simply because I'm all grown up now, and have came to the realization I no longer need a 12,000 pound vehicle to move my 200lb ass from point A to point B. On occasion, I still need the truck to pull the camper during deer season, or to move things like washers, refrigerators, or other heavy and bulky household goods. I simply don't need it for routine transportation, I have other vehicles that are much more economical, offer much better performance, and are less expensive to operate than a Ford F250. Most people who drive trucks these days are doing it because of an "image" they are trying to project of themselves. They think those around them are somehow impressed, or even intimidated by a big heavy "he man" type vehicle, while the actual truth is - trucks are mostly a pain in the ass to find a parking spot for. They don't handle for shit while on the open road, all of them are speed limited to about 100mph, and Gawd help you if you are T-Boned in the side while driving one. Even a very small car due to it's lower center of gravity can very easily blow a full sized truck off it's feet if hit in the side. Other reasons are the perceived safety factor most non truck people think their "King Dick" truck offers. Fact is, trucks can't meet the same DOT Safety Protocols as required by a passenger car. Trucks have their own safety requirements, but overall they do not provide the same level of crash protection a typical mid sized car offers. NHTSA and DOT crash test data all support these facts! Snow and icy roads, trucks really suck! Unless they are 4wd, they are simply too light in the ass end to offer any serious prospects of gaining traction under these conditions. Even with proper weather rated tires, they still are borderline dangerous to be driving around under these conditions. About the only thing positive about driving a truck for daily transportation is the fact they offer massive amounts of low rpm torque. After all, this is what's required to move heavy loads they might be tasked to move. Typically, the heaviest thing a truck owner will ever have in the bed of their truck comes from the Saturday afternoon grocery store run. Other than that, unless the truck is being use in commercial application, trucks live a very posh and stress free life here in Texas. About one out of ten trucks on the road are used as a truck should be, the rest are operated by tiny dick little men looking for something that feeds their micro penis inferiority complex. Hope this helped... Full sized SUVs on the other hand, offer everything and even more of what the average truck driver thinks he's found in his truck. |

We all understand, you live on a little island and have no free space to roam, too bad. Here in the US we have plenty of space and dirt roads. Driving those roads in our King Ranch F-150's is a freedom you'll never comprehend. We breath freedom here, that's why are dicks are so much bigger than yours. Now pack into your pussy Saab and take a deep breath of your stale fish gut laden air and drive to your little house and enjoy your bangers and mash. |

They are so overbuilt that the tires are the load limiting factor. You gotta have class E tires. My Dodge is my second car. When you remodel a home they are a must. We take it on vacations. Bigger means safer. Air conditioning and mileage are good. If you get snow then that 4X4 higher clearance is beautiful. |

Another thing: Because of the high ride the cargo bed is high up, in less friendly climates you need a hard-top and suddenly you have a huge car with pretty much useless cargo space. That is why I drive a 4WD cargo van, way, way more practical. Life is a 100% deadly sexually transmitted disease.

You ain't seen nothing yet! User ID: 73153907 United States 10/17/2016 01:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey Junkie, didn't you see the Top Gear where they wen to Canada and drove up the mountain to rescue one of their members. They used trucks, I don't think they would have gotten 20 feet off the paved road in a car. You have been doing too much junk, you idiot. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56401181 OP doesn't have an automobile, he putters about on an old english bicycle with a bell and a wicker basket mounted on the handle bars. Hence the jealousy, see. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

What a man!! You want a medal or a chest to pin it on?!!! Oh, and I've walked in shit, been thrown in shit, even eaten a little bit of shit which is why I won't be taking any of yours!! NOT in the mood today pal. Let's get 2 things into perspective here: 1. OP is an asshole; we don't share his heroin junkie sentiments, thus should just be ignored. 2. Judethz is not a woman, rather a 70 year old man from the north west of England (he told everyone this when he first created an account called 9teen47). "9teen47" is when he was born, and also because he has a fetish for Japanese teenage girls. All of these things are well known. |
