    Too short to be useful except as a grocery getter.
    Once something gets to that point, no use learning anything more about it.

    No kidding. But the cab configuration in that ad, CrewMax, does not give you an option; it's short.

    Regarding the tail lamp,....what are you talking about. It is what it is.

    So, is that truck good for a construction truck, or is it unusable? You contradict yourself. But really, what you do is agree with me, 100% on this, but can't bring yourself to admit it. I could outwork you in any number of construction tasks, from operating construction equipment (backhoes, loaders, etc.), to deck building (which you couldn't do with 5'5" lengths of wood), to plumbing, welding, and for certain mechanical stuff. You have me at all things electrical, of that I will admit. So, again, please stop with the yapping and biting, Nancy. Remember the rules?

    Yup, it is worthless for hauling construction materials, and you didn't know that lumber can be acquired in any length desired, I agree with you on those items.
    As to your fantasy about your skinny desk bound butt even keeping up on a construction site with a Mexican laborer, much less guys that have spent 40+ years doing it like I have, well Tina, I'm sure you could single handedly clean up the gangs in Chicago too if you wanted.
    Don't get me wrong, I would never claim to be able to best you at pushing a pencil.
    Also, and I will forgive you your ignorance, but backhoes and loaders are NOT construction equipment. They are demolition and earth moving equipment. Construction starts after they have gotten out of the way. Now, quit making yourself look dumb by talking about things you know nothing about, it is very unbecoming of you.

    Hey, it's just a freakin' Toyota, relax. But it WOULD hold a fair amount of beer.

    What's a fair amount? It would probably haul 10-12 full kegs, if they were empty.

    Let's see... 31 gallons in a keg x 12.... 31 over 12...two x 1=2...2x3=6....oh Hell, that should be enough for this month anyway.

    As long as you don't have any guests come over.

    Life was good until the safety Nazi's decided everyone needed to be miserable and uncomfortable all the time.

    Probably not to safe, but at least we were free to make our own choices. The good old days.

    When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's, kids rode on trips in the back of the station wagon with the seats down and a few blankets tossed in.
    We played games, read, had a good time.
    Now kids have to be restrained like Hannibal Lector at a court appearance to ride in a car.
    No wonder they are eating Tide pods and snorting condoms.

    Snorting condoms, haven't ever heard of that one, must be regional specific.

    Or riding in the back of a pickup. I remember trips to the Colorado river riding in the camper and my dad telling us if your drinking the beer and you have to pee open the door and pee out the back but you are washing the boat when we get there. That was going down the hwy at 70-80 mph.

    Our family used to get out of the MN winters once in a while and vacation at the White Stallion Ranch in Tucson. My sister and I were all set up in the back of a big Ford wagon, with games, books and a cheap camera. Mom would make bologna, sweet pickle & cheese sandwiches, and pour the pickle juice out of the open door while cruising down the highway. If I was sleeping when we rolled into AZ, I told Mom & Dad to wake me up when they saw the first cactus so I could take a picture; those were like aliens from Mars to a Midwestern kid. Good times indeed, and a completely normal way for us to travel on several trips around the country.

    It's mostly in the east, but all over.
    I won't describe it here, if you want to know, look it up.

    If more than one person knows about it, that's one to many.
