Do you really need to tow 22,000lbs? Do you really need to haul 6 tons? Jesus Christ I think that's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
I've got an idea... while we're at it, let's buy a hummer.... YEAH! Those things are fucking sweet! 8mpgs not bad considering how much of a fucking boner these things give me. I can roll over tons of shit... I can roll over people too if those fucks try to get in my way!
Wait! I've got a better idea! Let's get a CXT! As a review of it said 'Because this ain't simply a work truck. It's also designed for the "discriminating" blue-collar redneck with $115,000 to spare.' 'It's 7 miles per gallon of diesel, downhill.' Great fucking idea.
How does america drive the most SUVs in the world? Because we are idiots.
Do we need them? No.
Are there smaller more economical alternatives? Yes.
Do we need to create more of a dangerous road system while destroying the environment post-haste? No.
I'm sorry man, but I think that's completely absurd.
Quote:So then. Let's do it. Let's just get it over with. Let's all get a CXT. I mean, what the hell, right? Let's just give in and stomp around like we own the goddamn place and burn up all the remaining oil as fast as possible, maul the roads and gag the air and wipe out all those silly Priuses and Mini Coopers and all those annoying gnatlike bicycles once and for all.

jack, get off your horsey and realize this entire thread is a joke. fucking hippies...

Mike, people... we... americans... buy that garbage. I was so happy for that CalTech kid that vandalized the hummers. Those beverly hills bitches deserved every scratch.

I feel the same way about Expeditions and Escalades and Canyoneros or whatever the cool kids are buying these days. If you need it, and have an honest to god use for it, then fine, buy a Dodge Ramblazer Superduty. Hell, if you go offroad, get the Louis and Clark XTreme offroad 52 inch tires and lift package. Get the 9.6 Liter quad turbo deisel. Get the Trojan Horse Extended Cab. It's your money, after all. But for the love of sid's lips, please have at least a use for it. Nothing makes me more angry than a stored ferrari, a lonely woman, or a clean truck.

you need to lay off the hash pipe dude, I swear to god, if I ever have 120k lying around to spend I'm going to by one of these and run over your democratic, converse wearing, hippie, pot smoking ass. Get over yourself, it was a fucking joke.

i love this forum simply because every tame or well-intentioned topic somehow disintegrates into an awesome display of bickering and bench-racing.
for pulling stumps outa the ground, hauling hundreds of pounds of crap, raising hell on some wooded trail or plowing snow drifts i think trucks rock.
but nothing pisses me off like seeing a suburban used as a fashion statement or a land rover that never sees "4 low"

Instead of working constructively to fix the parts of our society that you dont agree with, all you can do is think destructively, talk about how much everything sucks, destroy property, break the law and get a self-righteous warm fuzzy feeling inside for fightin da man.
Instead you could be working on a solution, like campaigning for a Large Vehicle drivers license requirement for anything bigger than a regular truck, campaing for higher gas guzzler taxes, diesel emissions requirements, lower weight CDL requirements, etc. Hell, thats just what I thought up off the top of my head, Im sure you guys could think up a ton of other stuff if you all get together and put your tinfoil hats on.
I hate big utility-less SUVs and such as much as anybody, but im sure as shit not going to go deface a bunch just because I dont like them.
(and in case you didnt know, your TurboII polluted much more than any SUV on the market right now)

So you'd rather me take the expedition off road, tear up Gods green earth just for shits and giggles vs towing the mustang to the track? I doesn't really get dirty doing that. I guess under that logic any race car is a waste of gas too since there isn't really any _use_ for it. :roll:
Come on people. This is AMERICA we kick the Talaban's ass because they feel this way, don't make me hate you too.
- Mike - 08-12-2005
lol @ chad.
chad, i don't think anybody is getting on your for your expedition because you have it for an actual reason, whereas many americans don't.
- .RJ - 08-12-2005
Even though the reason for having one just involves another waste of resources

If your truck is 4WD, then yeah, I'd rather see it tear up God's Green Earth for Shits and Giggles. That's why he made it in the first place.
And a race car does have a purpose: To race. If it's sitting in your garage gathering dust just so you can say "I have a race car" than it's stupid.

Yea, my truck is 4x4, god forbid it snows in MD and they ask people to pick up nurses and doctors to take them to work. Now, tell me how they are suppose to get there? In a prius or echo? I don't think so, they are just traction for ME!

How can you possibly come brand an entire political group on the actions of one stupid kid? Who are you to criticize? Im sure whoever you are affiliated with (or you yourself) follows through on every idea they have, and never bitch about anything wrong in this world.
While I agree that some trucks/SUV's are needed, such as in Chad's or Lee's case, I see no reason why you need something like that to haul groceries back and forth. To be fair though, I also see no reason for roadracing/autox/tracking a car. The arguement can be made in many different areas; its just a matter of where and when to stop.

I think you're missing the point. He's saying that if you really want to apply the argument of only doing what is necessarywith then we wouldn't be doing that stuff with cars either (you know, the ad absurdum argument).
