Its funny when people ask my wife why she went with a Ford (clearly looking for a debate - has happened a couple times), she has no clue about this great debate, so her response is "because I liked it". Go ahead and tell her otherwise... lol
My wife shopped between 5 different brands and no less than 15 models. Why?
Because none of them had a colour she liked.


I have always found that some groups know perfectly well that many people will not like what they do and figure that the best defense is a strong offense. Even if nobody actually says something negative they still go into full "y'all haters" mode.

lol, after reading this thread I kind of want to buy some of those fake testicles and hang them from my wife's truck and see how long it takes her to notice... Might have to document this.

All punctuation periods mean the same thing. It is the end of that sentence.


The passive aggressive, aggressive, mad, foaming from the mouth periods are something you get used to after 30 years or so of marriage. Then they stop!

Oddly enough, as I've gotten older I've become more liberal in my acceptance of what people do with their stuff for a few reasons - I value their passion and enthusiasm as well as their right to do what they want with their stuff. Stanced car, lifted truck, giant chrome wheels, donk'd... don't care. We can ridicule in jest because fun, but genuinely don't care.

The only point in which as which I start to draw a line is when their passion affects my health/wealth/personal space. If a truck is too lifted where the tow hitch is skull height to mom in her minivan - that's not cool. The stanced car with a 90dB exhuast or loud subwoofers at 3am - f' that guy.

I did catch my shin on a large tow-hitch that stuck out 1.5' from the back of a truck in a crowded, poorly lit seattle parking garage - I found that way more offensive than any lifted truck I've ever seen.

I feel like you can tell a truck that's lifted for actual off road use vs brodozer. 90% of the time those same trucks would perform just as well if not better offroad in their stock form (excluding offroad tires). Lifting a truck or SUV more often than not ruins the vehicle instead of improving it.

I find most lifted trucks seriously obnoxious. The worst though is when they think they are driving a sports car, drive way too fast for that size and height. Then in a parking lot they damn near stop to go over a speed bump. Its so frustrating when I go over speed bumps faster in my stock 13' FRS (which has a stiff ride) than these giant brodozers.

I find it funny when Im cruising on a B road, going fast but not dangerously fast and a brodozer comes up on me on a straight road and tail gates me. Like they need to go so fast on a straight part of the road, but the second a couple corners come up the FRS slams around those corners no problem at speed while the brodozer slams their brakes, then catches up on the straight part to try and make up for it. News flash to these brodozers, no one thinks your truck is fast because you can mash the pedal on a straight road.
