FWIW, I’ll never understand folks who prefer in human ant farms (major metro areas).

If these NYT fools think Texas is bad for trucks they should try Wyoming.

[Obadiah]

And what I find hilarious is that in New York city the metrosexuals have to stand in the rain and snow to hail a cab and beg for a ride.

[mewzilla]

My bet is a lot of the NYT reporters who own/lease vehicles aren’t driving teeny tin cans...

[JBW1949]

Texas, yes...But throughout the South, a pickup is what a Mercedes is to the NYT...

[mewzilla]

Q’s for the NYT ombudsman: What percentage of your reporters own/lease vehicles, and what are the percentages in each vehicle class...?

Idiot could have stayed near home

The Chevy Silverado takes the overall sales title in ten states, many of them clustered around the Great Lakes in the Midwest. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and West Virginia are all represented by Chevy's pickup, as are Delaware and New Hampshire.

I’d love a truck- a 1965 chevy C10 with a straight 6 and saginaw “3 on the tree”.

Oh, yeah, red and white wth painted, not chrome bumpers.

Texan men have trucks for the same reason liberal men have balls. even if you never use them it nice to have just in case

‘Climb up in the CAB’ ??

I drive an F-150 aside from my MB’s and Corvettes. I still scratch my head why people drive a rolling toaster oven in a Prius. Anything you plug to the wall is an appliance, not a car.

If you are in a faggy Fiat and that big grill fills your rear view mirror you will see why.

NY Slimes wimpy snowflake meterosexuals are jealous they don’t have the cajones to drive a truck.

[longtermmemmory]

but in texas men know how to drive trucks

in NYC metrosexuals (incl. media class) have balls but they don’t know how to use them.

I started buying trucks when I became a homeowner. I don’t know how you can own a house and not have a truck. I seem to always be hauling something, and frequently out of necessity, not choice.

Here in the Northwest we like our big SUVs. It rains a lot so the covered bed is good. We need the SUVs so we can haul stuff, drive through fields, up mountains for hiking and skiing and driving the hilly roads when it snows.

Lots of big SUVs even in libtard Seattle: Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, Jeeps, etcetera.

[Paine in the Neck]

“People in Texas will buy trucks even if they’re not going to haul anything heavier than raindrops.”

And NYers, having made that observation can't leave it at that or with a "Huh. Interesting that Texans are like that". Instead, their reaction is that we Texans must be prohibited from buying trucks; that penalties must be enacted that will discourage such buying behavior. Then these NYers can retire back in to their concrete and glass silos and bask in their sanctimonious smugness, having done their bit to save...uh...umm...well, something or other.

I LOVE the “Back in Black” Chevy commercial. Says it all.

[samtheman]

They have a very strong need to feel superior to average Americans, don’t they?
