OK, some folks want to call it a 'truck'.


Yup, looks like a truck to me. Same color as

Don's too.

Duh!
That is a 1st generation model.
My model is more like your wife's Highlander in

size.
Sorry to disappoint you but my colour is a

bronze/brown..=
........
pyrite mica to be exact.


Herring bought a truck four times the size he

needed to to=
w his
boat. D'oh.


And/or his camper. There's a good reason why too.

Pulling h=
is camper
with the Highlander the fuel mileage was anywhere

from 8-12=
mpg. the
diesel pickup gets double the mileage pulling

either one, p=
lus you
not
only gain on the braking factor, but also the

pulling respo=
nse behind
a duramax is like the truck isn't pulling anything.

Better =
safety,
better economy, less wear and tear and less carbon

footprin=
t.

good decision.


Depends on how often and how far one tows one's

camper, eh?

You freakin' idiot, it makes no difference how often

and how =
far he
tows
the camper. If he tows it one mile or one million

miles, he's=
still
getting better mileage.- Hide quoted text -

Yiikes... are you really that stupid?
If Johnny only towed his trailer/boat 5 miles from his

house t=
o his
favourite campground or launch... how could you

justify the ex=
tra
expense of the big diesel truck compared to the

useable Highla=
nder,
that he already owned?
If you would only quit playing with your 'little head'

and giv=
e your
'big head' a shake, things might make more sense.


I think herring also had or has a V8 4Runner, which is

more tha=
n capable
of towing his boat, or his camper. You'd have to tow a

whole lo=
t, which
he does not do, to justify the price of that overgrown

diesel t=
ruck, and
it's so large, you wouldn't want to drive it around

town much. =
It's a
bitch to park in the city.


Men of means have more than one vehicle at their

disposal. Simpl=
y use
the one that matches the task at hand, oh one

dimensional one.

Gee, Jackoff, that must explain why we have a sedan for

road trip=
s, an
SUV to haul stuff around, a sports car and a motorcycle.

No need =
for an
oversized pickup truck, since we no longer have a

trailerboat.

Liar.


Suddenly the conversation turns from Herring, who has a

need for a
substantial truck to tow his toys, cross country safely, to

Krause,=
who
will soon be trading his junk for an electric wheelchair.

Won't be
needing that big red barn anymore.


Poor Harry. Jealousy is a pure bitch, especially is there's

a tad of=
narcissism involved.

I'm wondering if parking is a big problem in Huntingtown.

I've no pr=
oblem parking the truck wherever
I go, but maybe the spaces in Huntingtown are a lot tighter.

Could b=
e. Who knows?

I can't think of one reason to be jealous of you, Herring. I

don't en=
vy
anything about you or your possessions, least of all your

oversized
truck or your travel trailer. I can't think of a worse way to

travel =
a
long distance than driving a big truck with a travel trailer

behind i=
t.
Blech.


Hee, hee.


What was it you used to say about those slow-moving, boring

trawlers? =
'Til you ' bought' one (or so
you say).


What a friggin' joke, Harry!


Now, does that sound like a man who isn't harboring jealousy?

Apparently
he thinks owning stuff is the key to happiness. But then, why is

he so
miserable?


I'm wondering how I'd feel if my biggest buddies were Donnie and

Slammer.=
