I was working at a customer in Ohio listening to a forklift operator talking about how he "needs" an F-350 King Ranch. The conversation then literally went on to him talking about "digging a turlet down by the crick".

The turlet thing doesn't tie into the truck thing but that sound bite will live with me until the day I die.

I know several people with 80000-90000 $ trucks. some of them work in factories where there is a discount but it still fucks me up to think about how much they cost. it’s in Canadian dollars tho, so like twenty American dollars.

The thing where white trash idiots blow their racism factory pay on gigantic lovely lifted trucks they never use as actual trucks has been a thing since I was little. Dunno how anyone missed it.

I own a now 21 year-old truck I'm going to drive until it literally falls apart.

The gold standard for whether or not a person can afford to retire in a timely fashion is how often they buy a new car

not because cars keep you from retiring but because impulsive automobile purchases indicate poor financial sense

How the gently caress do you end up with a $2100 mortgage in Texas

A car is a disposable utility cost.

The sooner people understand that and divorce themselves of the romance of car ownership, the better.

Jonny is absolutely correct in refusing to own a BMW newer than 1997 or so

and guess what

the people who judge you based on whether or not you own a BMW won't know the loving difference
