boyst Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) This is a truck This is not a truck again... Truck Not truck Please learn the difference. Just because you have something that is not this does not give you the right to pretend you do. You instead should drive this for being an idiot. Edited November 23, 2011 by jboyst62
Just Jack Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Should this be under your "idiot sightings" thread? I feel there's more to the story.
boyst Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 The world is too full of idiots for just one thread. Every day, more and more I am hearing people call their SUV's or little mini-wanna-be autos trucks. It's just not right, a truck is something you drive off land, work in, haul stuff, a TRUCK. I talk to friends from the NorthEast and slowly now the southeast (here) and they all say their Honda CRV or Kia Sportage is a truck. No. No. No, it's not.

Sorry the date didn't go as well as you hoped it would.

apuszczalowski Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I don't see the point to being upset about this, those vehicles are closer to being what you would call a truck then they are to being a car. Most vehicle manufacturers SUVs are built on the same platform (frame, chassis, body styling) as the pickups, but instead of a bed, they have extra seating. Theres very little difference underneath of a Dodge Dakota (truck) and a Dodge Durango (SUV), or say, a Ford Ranger (truck) and a Ford Explorer (SUV), etc. Its not like they are calling their SUV a JEEP (I have had that before)

Dates next week some time, come on people...in LPW (has there ever been an acronym for it?) I said next week...

A Jeep is from Toledo, no where else. I am sure hipsters get mad when you say their Mini-Cooper is a VW. It's not that I get mad - not at all, I just get tired of being confused when someone says have you seen my new truck, or I am over here by the truck, or can we put these bodies in the back of your truck...it can be a dilema. Most amazing thing, the Vette is on a Cadilac frame!

Then a REAL truck is a 747. 500,000 pound payload, burns 28,000 lbs of fuel a hour. There's some bragging rights.

Okay, Punk! It's a Sub. Not a "Grinder", not a "Hoagie", not a "Hero". It's a Sub. Now take that "Hoagie" back to Hog Island! Kids...

SelmonSmith6378 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I'[m only 15, but not that excited about even getting a car. I'm an enviro-geek.
