I'm kinda looking at one, but I don't see any need for the 5.7 liter
engine for my purposes. The regular cab models, though, aren't that
appealing to be because there's really no inside storage without the
back seats the extended cab models offer.

I live on a fairly narrow city street with sidewalks and parking on both
sides.
We have seniors roaming around with walkers/rollators, dog walkers, young
people etc passing by on a regular basis.
My towing needs are very light but I need a shorter vehicle for
maneuverability and superior all around visibility for regular use.

My next vehicle (March 2009) will probably be the Toyota Rav4 with the 4
cylinder auto. I can always get a light utility trailer for hauling
bulky stuff.
Then again, if I move to a bigger boat...I may get the 6 cyl.

Did you run that by your son?



Run this, Dingy Boy.



Blood pressure a little high today, Donnie?

Many of my winter neighbors are from Michigan. One of them does a
really funny imitation of someone running an air powered screw gun on
an assembly line while claiming to be highly skilled labor.



It's really charming when well-off SOBs make fun of guys who have to
work crap jobs to make ends meet. It's one of your more endearing
qualities, Dwayne.


Nobody is forced to work a crap job. Each and everyone who works one of
those crap jobs has applied for it or responded in the affirmative when
offered the job. They only have themselves to blame. Personal
responsibility is bitch aint she.



What's a bitch is going through life without the ability to see things
through the eyes of people less fortunate than you. Normally, you learn
that from your parents. Yours must've been pigs.


Maybe they should have stayed through the 12th grade. Maybe they should
have learned to read and write. Most of the older than teen years people in
crap jobs lack either the training, education or gumption to get a better
job. I worked while going though university. Took me 8 years to get that
Bachelor of Science degree, but spending 10-11 hours a day working and
studying. Does not take a lot of skill to install lugnuts on an assembly
line.

You have a point. All we ever heard growing up was how important an
education was for obtaining a decent job when we grew up as an inducement to
work hard in school. Now it seems that everyone expects and is entitled to
a good job regardless of how they applied themselves in school.

We should focus more on making sure that people less fortunate have the
opportunity for an education, not a guarantied, high paying job. It then
remains an individual choice, not a social program.
