LOL, Yes! BUT not for the reason most people think , It is however my tag on my truck... I show dogs and needed a big truck, I don't do vans!! Not what you would call a soccer mom! My husband loves driving my truck but not so much with that tag so he went out last week and bought his own F250....sorry if this off topic but had to answer the SIZMDRS question..... And boy do I get some comments on that!!!

I like the new cadillac commercial. Hot woman gets in a new i think CTS? and starts it up and the voice says "When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?"

Thats a great ad! Very good point too, you car should make you proud to own it and make you want to drive it. A quite boring slow car doesnt make me want to drive it! lol

Sure. Guys believe that.

What sort of dogs? I bought the Ex because I had a 90# Pit bull, 65# Shar Pei, 60# Am Staff and 100# Rott. Oh, a 8500# Toy Hauler to pull also

SIZMDRS, we're not all going to agree all the time.
They're just having fun arguing about little things.

And the "off topic" thing, folks. Don't worry about it. Real life conversations never stay on topic either. At the Thanksgiving table next week we'll probably start off talking about how good the turkey looks. 45 minutes later we will be talking about NASCAR. Or Excursions. Or sex.

Maybe we will end up talking about watching NASCAR while having sex with turkeys in the excursions?

I know not directed at me, but I have a 100 lb Rott as well. The dog is movitavtion for having an SUV, as I can fit him in the truck easily, with his cage set up if necessary. My main motivation, though, is the fact that I tend to tow/haul large items and if I don't have 4x4, I won't get out of my driveway most mornings between December and March.

I scared the pants off the guy at the Ford dealer when he insisted on moving my truck, and my dog was still in it. I figured I'd just let him realize it was better to let me do the moving.
