Random thoughts thread

Used to have a truck - gas got too expensive driving from Houston to College Station everyday for class then back for work.

Got the Hyundai Elantra now - super cheap to run but I miss my truck. I run across a scenario at least a few times a week where a truck would have made my life 10x easier.

One day....
 
Ah, thanks to those who responded to my "?why at truck?". And yeah, I too appreciate the diff between 4WD and AWD, the value of adequate ground clearance, and also body-on-frame construction ("Why do you want a 4WD when you have Quattros?"..and.. "Why do you want a Crown Vic when you have Audi sedans and why don`t you lower it?"). I do note that many of those reasons are a lot more functional than the reasons I hear from people IRL.

And even now that I do have the Tahoe I can easily imagine renting a, uhm...serious truck... for an afternoon under some circumstances, same as I`d rent a Bobcat.

GearHead_1- Similar to your take on RatRods, I subscribe to, and genuinely pore over, The Rodder`s Journal even though I have zero interest in building/owning/driving the kinds of vehicles they feature. The engineering/etc. that people put into `em just DOES IT for me.

It actually feels like fall here with temps right around 70 degrees and it`s windy.

The weather here is at that stage where I don`t know - do I turn on the heater? or do I put on long sleeve shirt

I`m just happy I won`t have to run my garage AC - it gets expensive.
