WoW I love the truck bashing in this thread. . .forgive me but a truck is more useful then any car I have ever owned. I can't tell you how many times I've moved in the last 6 years and hell the last 2 years I've moved 5 times. and I'm about to move again in the next 6 months. I could not own a car that could tow all my crap around. I also can't tell you how many times I've had to use my truck for work. . .when the gov shorts my shop a truck I end up using mine. . .and how many times I've helped my friends move? come on.

bashing trucks and suv's just because they get crappy gas mileage compared to small light cars. . .get over it.

Who ever said the reasons for owning a truck/suv for being safer and sitting up higher. . .yea it is safer then your little bitty pirus/civic/corolla/etc. my truck won't take as much damage as a civic in the same accident. . .Also sitting up higher (stock) gives you a better vantage point of a situation.

now before you bash me let me give you a run down on my opinion and why. I've owned several types of cars. I've owned trucks, sports cars, economy cars, and tech a commuter. here's the list, 1989 chevy chyenne, 86 astro, 81 malibu, 96 trans am, 04 saturn ion, 98 camaro, 86 fiero, and my current DD 07 silverado. out of all those for a DD I prefer my Silverado. I liked the fiero because it was low and with a 350 swap it would be a destroyer. but I couldn't see crap in a parking lot or sitting behind other cars/trucks at a light. give me my silverado over your prius/civic/cobalt/ion/etc any day of the week.


Sorry for going off, just tired of people trashing trucks when they have no right other then that's their opinion.
