    That’s how you know it’s all for show. People casually forget you can rent trucks for 20 dollars a day too. “Oh well I’m glad I have it for towing and moving”. Bull. How often do you tow really? And even then I’d expect it to sit at home most of the time. Moving? Once a year. Rent a truck. I go to home Depot and rent theirs when I need it.

    Buying a truck like that shows you are way too worried about what people think of you, you have to feel “big”, which usually means you’re a small man, and probably bad with money.

      Rented a big truck for my move. It was a bitch to drive, cost me 75bucks for 2 hrs (it has the 29.99 in-town advertising plastered on the side) and didn’t fit more shit than a rental van of the same price.

      I haul shit home two or three times a week, nothing to do with work.

      Hell, today picked up a nice mower (free) to fix to fix and use or sell. Also found a cool wooden chair my wife likes for her campsite.

      Hauled cull wood from the store to my camp for building stuff last Saturday. Had it not been raining, I was going to take my kayak or canoe to the water today.

      You don’t know me or how I live. Could you be any more judgey?
