Same. Poor decision on my part.

No I'm mostly in my Miata or my bike. Again, y'all just invent things.

Sorry, not trying to argue with you too if that came off wrong!

Ah, so you wouldn't recommend that someone buy one of these things as a daily driver? You only have the truck for doing truck stuff, right?

How else do you expect to fit two morbidly obese American parents and their morbidly obese children?

Very inefficient cars would burn a ton of fuel and then consumers would be paying a fortune in fuel taxes.

No worries! I'm not trying to do that either.

When a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure.

OMG, there are two people in my neighborhood with them and I want one soooo bad. Only problem is I need to haul stuff to the landfill and that requires getting on the interstate which I don't think they're rated for in my state.

I live in Worst Carolina, and I know the feeling when you can just say you lost something in "the flood" and people just nod their heads like, "yep, I know".

For the sake of bigger profits.

I know some play farmers with dualies. One is for building a fence, one is for towing a 5th wheel and a toy hauler. The fence builder is similarly unregistered because it's "expensive enough to maintain"

They're a vanishing breed. I was searching Autotrader for a compact pickup, and the only thing I found was a Mazda B2300 ... from 1986. I can't use that - I'd be too worried about damaging it. It's a collector's item.

I have a 4 car garage, money to buy multiple used vehicles, and fix them up myself. Not many are so privileged.

My 08 hauls so many kayaks and has enabled so many cool adventures.

Yeah I really don't get it.

I drive an old pickup truck with a standard sized bed. Every time I've needed the bed of the truck, I've needed it to be as big as it is. If it was as short as modern truck beds I'd be making more trips or hiring a U-Haul or something.

I get a normal, functional bed AND it's still a normally sized vehicle that's easy to drive and park. When this vehicle eats shit, whoever makes a normal sized pickup is getting my money.

It’ll never be cheaper for me to own a car and rent a truck every other weekend and two 10 day weeks a year for my vacations than owning my truck. I’m not hauling kayaks and bikes and stuff in a car. I’ve done it, no. Go drive to the UP in a Home Depot rental truck. Yah ok boss.

Depends on how high you make the tax, lower priced car might offset that.

And gas tax also disproportionately affect the poorer population, for many of them cars are mandatory because of commuting, etc. And those who are well-off might just not care about the tax.

Is your username a reference to the Greydon Clark movie?

So... either you'll be buying used or not a truck.
