[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an old 4WD Subaru that I use for hauling: trips to Costco, home improvement projects, hauling firewood, hauling stuff to the dump, buying used stuff off Craigslist, hauling furniture for friends, going up the mountain to go snowboarding, etc.

I'd LOVE a pick-up truck, but DW insisted on an enclosed vehicle. C'est la vie. We live in NW DC.[/quote]

I want a pick-up truck, but DH thinks it's too redneck. Pisses me off. I'd have SO much use for it![/quote]

I'm with your husband.  Maybe because I come from a long line of New Englanders, pick ups aren't my thing.

My husband always laughs that I talk about the '3 heads' in a pick up truck whenever we are driving down to his Aunt's house south of Charlottesville.  It's when you see three dopey looking adult males from the back in [b]the "whatever the front part' of the pick up truck is called-[/b]-not the bed.[/quote]

All three of them know that's called "the cab". And all three of them probably know how to fix a vehicle when it's broken, unlike your husband.

So who's the [i]real[/i] dope here, then? [/quote]

You, for stereotyping and being absurdly boastful of [b]you[/b] sad truck knowledge. [/quote]

And yet, the stereotype about you appears to be spot-on. A snobby yankee, looking down her nose at people whom she and her husband see as inferior, but can do things they themselves are unable to. You said it. "dopey looking guys in a pick up truck". Clearly those aren't words of praise for those guys you're speaking of. But as someone who knows lots of people like that which you think you're describing, I can assure you those dopey looking guys probably know lots of things that are beyond you.

As for "sad truck knowledge", I'm not really sure what that even means.... maybe the truck is sad? Or is it sad to [i]have[/i] knowledge [i]about[/i] trucks? I dunno, it all seems a odd no matter how you rationalize it.

And it's "your", not "you". [i]Your[/i] sad truck knowledge.
