@19v It's a stereotype for a reason.
Just like every id--t that still pays Tesla to operate one of their vehicles doesn't remove the stigma by putting the "I bought it before he was a fascist weirdo" bumper sticker on it.
As a former truck owner myself, I can even tell you the general behavior types based on the make and model of truck owned.
Ford: I own the best-selling truck on the road, and I'll race you to prove why.
Chevy: I bought it to work on it, and I'll race you to prove why.
Ram: It's a hemi, wanna see?
Toyota: I actually work with this truck, that's why the bed is full of stuff
Everything else: I'm brand-loyal and I want reliability
@14g They always have an assumption of those of us that drive trucks as big d-mb rednecks. Honestly I use a truck as it is meant to be used. It also was not a 100k princess truck to park at Costco like most of the truck drivers around Charlotte 🤣
And I see the use of an EV for those that prefer it but many of them I have met are very pretentious. The same can be said of the BMW, Audi, and Mercedes drivers, they have an ahole persona of them because of their cars.
@14g Because he's a pick-'em-up-truck partisan and fuel efficiency is a threat to his manhood.
@q9 I'm honestly curious why you feel that way about ev drivers?
This guy probably works in Risk or Compliance by the smarts they are exhibiting in their commuting decisions
I can’t imagine why you would need a 1 ton truck to drive into work… are you regularly transporting large volumes of livestock on your days off?
@zg welcome to the internet. I suggest asbestos for your next outfit.
@kb talk about smoke-blowing. Just trying to support the guy after he got trashed for driving his choice of vehicle.
@jk I feel the same about electric vehicle drivers. Love my truck but I also can afford it without complaining like the OP.
The irony of complaining about the job that affords you an F-350, while also complaining about how much gas the F-350 takes to get you to the job that pays for both the truck and the gas, is truly something. Let me guess, you’re also someone who barely gets by with 8 hours in the office.
@hy As someone who considered a full-sized diesel pick up for a main ride, you have no clue what you're talking about. You can get significantly larger aftermarket tanks, which I'm willing to bet "commute to work on a smoke-blowing crew cab dually" guy would absolutely do.
Only dou--ebags drive gas guzzlers like that to a white collar job.
Kinda feel like OP was simply making a point. $350 to fill up, using diesel price of even $6 a gallon is a 58 gallon tank. Biggest tank available for a dually is 48 gallons.
So maybe instead of trashing the guy for driving what he likes, take the point of meaningless expense to commute and sit on a conference call.
@fa If taxes didn't exist, you'd have to direct your anger at the "job creators" who create the jobs and underpay them.
Only the ultra-wealthy benefit from low taxes. It wouldn't help you, or anyone you personally know.
@ar in a case where the office moves hundreds miles away, I can't just trade in my car, many of us are in bad financial shape, no fault of our own. It's just everything is expensive for no real good reason and not paid nearly the amount we should be.
Could you imagine if you actually could ever get the amount you grossed?
If taxes didn't exist and you'd wouldn't feel like someone taking your money, I guarantee you'd see a happier healthy society. We will never see it though. So I don't know why i even wasted bandwidth stating it lol.
@ah especially since the invention of laptops. That should have been the end of any office jobs in person, or school for that matter (youd think).
The only people that should be on the road should be first responders, emergency personnel and delivery folks. Or people traveling to go pickup their groceries and running errands.
The reason why gas is so expensive is because of all the joyriding. You'd also think gas being $4 a gallon there'd be less cars on the road too combined trips etc.
Nope still just as bad as it ever was.
And alot of driving ten below the speed limit too wherever you go.
I know it's not relevant to this but it's a pet peeve. You can get a ticket for ten over, they should be writing them for 10 under as well. That's impeding flow of traffic. Increase of accidents due to impatient driving and the longer a vehicle runs the more gas it takes. It's almost as people drive slow on purpose.
Just get down the road already. I couldn't imagine spending anymore time that I had to driving.
@ar so one has to uproot and change their lives for what so we can all meet up at a building really for what purpose? Sitting at home with a laptop can do the same thing without ever having to do anything else.
I mean why are we doing this to ourselves?
I drove my Prius here just to sit on teams and eat my salad.
It does su-k, my G-wagon gets terrible mileage.
@a5
No sheit.
I have a dually. I need a dually. IT has a function. I don't fricking drive around in the dually. The dually has it's job and it isn't grocery getting or job commuting.
Trade in that gas guzzler and buy a more fuel efficient vehicle. You have only yourself to blame.
@ad you ding bat just because we work for a bank doesn’t make us a “banker” yah nimrod
LMAO @OP complaining that his crew cab dually is too expensive to commute to work in.
For that gas payment you could finance a fuel-efficient commuter, pay gas and insurance, and still save money.
Without selling your phallusmobile.
I have a Toyota that gets 35mpg. I agree that it su-ks to commute for no reason, but why make your own situation worse by driving a gas-guzzling pe--s extender?
None of us should be commuting at all.
Why tf are you driving to work in an F350 in the first place? We are not "downed trees and construction llc"?
I have an F250 too. But i have the brains not to commute in it.
Yes they are making you go into the office, but no one is making you do it in a big gas guzzler. That’s on you.
Time to quit?
Sounds like a case of pi-s poor planning to me, Do you really need an F350 to commute?
