A WTF moment
I just had one of those moments in which the person you are talking to doesn't have a clue as to what planet you're on.
A work acquaintance of mine was behind me on the way in this morning.
Inside he see's me and asks, "Why were you driving that old truck? Is it your fathers' or something? It doesn't have a hitch or anything and I know you can afford a better vehicle."
He could not understand why I would drive such a piece of crap (my words not his, but thats what was implied).
I tried in vain to explain real vehicles made out of metal not plastic, and that I actually prefer to drive my truck instead of buying a new "car".
He looked at me like I had three heads.
BTW.................. he drives a freakin' Prius.
I'm more convinced than ever that we are enlightened folks here on this forum.

I'm convinced that Prius is a contraction of pretentious...

you should have told him that he should be more concerned about Dirty Mike and the boys rather than what you are driving. HAHA!

Some guys get it, some don't, to paraphrase my favorite cartoon character Popeye "I Yam What I Yam" .
These trucks are what they are, i like the austere interior and no frills design, free of creature comforts, it's a truck! they were never intentend to appeal to the suburban mom with 3 kids, 2 french bred terriers and an iPad.
If you want a Lexus, buy a Lexus!

That is one of the reasons that California has a reputation for being, um, let us say, its own planet. My very Southern accent, could you hear it through the keyboard, would lend itself to just as many pokes and jabs (nearly all deserved). I suppose it takes all kinds. It is a good thing, because my wife calls me nearly all of them.

A friend of mine told me this past summer he loved my '79 for the following reasons: the crumple zone was whatever I ran over and I had an ozone hole that followed me everywhere I went.
I wouldn't trade my Dentsides for anything. If I had the money for a new pick-up, I'd spend it on more Dentsides.
