B-manaic said: (quoted from post at 18:36:08 02/25/11) "pursuit of happiness" doesn't imply any guarantees the way i read it. BUT! For once I agree 100% with B&D below , that probably 90% of pick-up trucks on the road have their beds used less than 5% of the miles they are driven. LOSE the testerone people and buy a trailer and hitch it to something that gets some mileage when you need to haul. I havn't had a pick-up in 25 yrs and never miss it. I have ONE vehicle and it hauls all the grand kids and us through any kind of snow or weather and hauls my 20' implement trailer when I need to haul tractors or parts. Smaller 2 wheel 8' X 10' trailer to haul small stuff. Oh ,this vehicle will also haul 12' lumber inside with the doors all closed up. Gets 17 mpg on freeway. What is it? Suburban! Gas hog you say? Remember , I said it is my ONLY vehicle and look at all it does! and every week it does it. It's what you get out of that 17 mpg that counts and this ONE vehicle does it all. thanks ,B&D , you are one of the few men out there that actually "gets it"!!
It's not our fault that gas prices are high. We are American and we do as we please because in general, WE CAN as per the US Constitution. We are not one of the oldest countries out there, but our form of government is. That has happened for a reason,...because it is the best.
Drive what you want is what I say. Don't hate the guy who lives in an apartment and owns a F350,...he is FREE and he is allowed to do so. Be American, and be proud is all I am saying. Don't try and be a European,..they have a great history of being defeated.
Pursuit of Happiness means you are free to do so,...it does not mean it is a given. Be free, and not a hamster who gets fed and lives under control of what is usually a child like mind.
