New trucks are no longer trucks

My first job was at a nursery. It was a neighbor who owned it and let me work when I was 14, before I could get a legal work permit. I worked there until I was 17 when I started doing construction. I built my first car with money from azaleas, chrysanthemums and rhododendrons, so they’ve had a lasting impact on my life, haha.

lol, look at him dropping flower names that make azaleas the botanical equivalent of the word "cat"

haha, that was the point there at the end, to sound overtly ridiculous with the plant names. mission accomplished. it's funny what your brain will hold on to though. I can't remember the names of every woman I've had relations with though, sad...

But you remember the important things, the names of the plants that allowed you to build your first car. That's just the way we remember stuff. I couldn't tell you what years things in my life happened, but I could tell you what I was diving, where I found it, and what options it had, lol.

A mockery if you ask me

Not bad if you consider it only costs $8K to make it look like that.

I read that the carbon fiber bed saves a whole 63 pounds of bed weight. or was it 68? either way, not much. stuff like this is why I'm on a quest to own and drive nothing new enough I cant tag it antique

60+lbs is significant when you're trying to eeke out every last ounce for weight reduction to improve fuel mileage. The mpg numbers imposed by the last regime were pretty fanciful in their reach. Until we get a governing body to set these regulations, that understands physics, and acknowledges that not everyone wants to drive some little egg shaped pos, keep expecting things to get lighter and lighter. The truly fukked up part of these regs, is that The reason the cars keep getting heavier, is to satisfy the crash and safety standards set by the dumb fukks in charge. If you think back to 1990ish, Honda had a CR-X model that would turn in 60 mpg. No hybrid bs required, just a lean burn, internal combustion engine. But, because we didn't have laws stating that we need 150 airbags inside the vehicle, it weighed in at 1600lbs give or take. God forbid, we actually teach these snowflakes to pay the fukk attention, instead of being glued to their phones. It's much easier to just add more safety features instead of making better drivers.

Pretty sure the snowflake generation has no idea what a ratchet strap is, let alone how to use one.

Forget a ratchet strap. You want to confuse them, hand them a piece of rope and tell them to secure a load.

LOL, Secure a load, they'd be on their knees in front of another guy before you could blink.
