I’m a girly girl and I drive a Silverado. It has a car seat in the back and room for my beehives when I move them.

Starting at1
$53,455

Starting at 54K you can be sure 70K would be average.

[EEGator]

It looks like they’re around 60K.
I thought they were more for some reason.

As that chrome grille closed on me like a man-eating Norelco shaver

This guy has serious Mommy Issues all because she Never Taught him to LOOK BOTH WAYS before stepping into traffic.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

LOL!

This beta male cuckadoodles experience sounds a lot like Gersh Kuntzmans (got to love that name) pants-soiling experience firing an AR15

[sauropod]

The stupid. It burns. It really does.

Tricked out $70K.

Where I live, people buying new expensive pickup trucks with all the lights and accessories, and then they never use them as trucks because they have so much money tied up in them and they don’t want to get that first scratch or dent. It’s really rather funny. They are so shiny clean that you need shades to look at them. Even the tires are polished black and shiny.

[EEGator]

Thank you. I thought it was around there.

Is this the same author who got PTSD when he fired an AR-15 for the first time?

Or the one who bought a pump shotgun, and was so nervous he loaded and ejected the shells without firing a shot?

He writes the same way.

[familyop]

Weird. Deciding what kind of vehicle to own is only about usefulness and costs for me. As for annoying personalities, whatever they drive, they’ll get what they’re looking for in time.

[Kaslin]

There are also women who drive Tractor Trailers

[PapaBear3625]

Well, yeah, pickup trucks are great for taking women home. In the passenger seat, I mean, not the truck bed, unless she’s into that sort of thing.

I guess you've never taken a girl to a secluded spot, so you can unroll a futon in the truck bed, lay back, and watch the stars for a while.

"Sorry, but pickups have gotten WAY too massive over the past few years — dinosaur level."

I agree.

And real trucks should have 2 doors and an 8 foot bed.

"A pickup load" of firewood used to have a meaning.

[Ben Hecks]

You forgot the horn that plays the first 9 notes of Dixie.

[Kaslin]

I couldn’t find anything about an AR-15 by him. So no. It must have been someone else

My 91 yo Mother drives a pickup and has for 40+ years...

Says she likes sitting up high and can see around her better...And she likes the safety and security of all that steel around her...

I bought an 01 Dodge Ram v6 about four years ago for $2500. Damn near stole it. Bench seat, rubber floor mats. It does all of the truck stuff when I need it to. Sits in the driveway most of the time. I usually drive the Vibe or nitrous Camaro.
