Wait, so now trucks are luxury goods? We have very different opinions of that term. I also don’t know that i would agree the average new truck buyer is “young” people unless we have a very different opinion on the term young. My back parking lot at the office has an eclectic mix of vehicles, there is only one newer model truck. Most staff people are in large/small SUV’s, older trucks for the male interns, and a couple of cars.
Just pointing out that youngsters are willing to put up big bucks for stuff. Honestly how many of those trucks are purchased vs leased. I’m not a surly 2% but I’m not willing to finance or lease a vehicle for 6-8 years. Look up average vehicle loans nowadays. It is stupidity to us olds.

I would drop the “extremely”. Do a google search for most reliable trucks. I looked at a handful of lists and the Tacoma consistently was at the top of these lists. However, I do think much of the legend is anecdotal.All vehicles are so much better nowadays.
Us olds member when if you kept a vehicle over 70000 miles you were playing with fire. This was 80’s.- 2

If something near the majority drives them, by default it can’t be a status symbol. Plus, there is nothing status like about most trucks. This whole train of thought is completely illogical for a sub $XXXXX vehicle or we have different ideas of status. It’s an SUV with a bed that gets used occasionally if anything. Hell spending $60k on a new F150 makes more sense than a large segment of vehicles on the road for someone looking to buy new.
Read some report a few days ago that “luxury goods” are almost always purchased by “young” people nowadays.
So yes it is a status symbol for youngens. Most just haven’t figured out interest rates on CC.Will yell at clouds tomorrow as it almost 8pm and I have to go to sleep.

You're confusing me, bro... Am I going to a taqueria or Amtrak?
Dude, haven’t you heard. Amtrak is angling for that sweet sweet Abbott Texas transport cash to Northeast states so have opened dining cars as taqueria’s.

Back in my day we made do with a single .50 cal and it worked fine in every kind of weather. Now everybody thinks they need a dual barrel .50 and I bet they never even point it anything.
So fricking old school.
In todays world the ruskies could fall on your head at any time. Half the wolverines are dead or have aids so please realize the issues of todays 50 cal owners and quit trying to block our rights.- 1

I drove a truck for 30 something years. Sold the boat (used at least 2 per month) and got a small suv. Hated it.
Sold it and bought a tacoma. Told the wife if I ever decide to do work on the house or yard I will need it, in case I don’t want to pay someone else to do it. Haven’t needed it yet. But like it. Figure it’s my last vehicle cause I usually keep 12+ years.- 3

So on the best snack food thread they had a pic of jalapeño saltines. Bought some and some HEB pimento cheese.
Gotdamn that is good snack. It’s been 20 years since I lived in HEB territory but damnit if they haven’t raised the stakes a 1000%.- 2

Duh. Nike refused to make a 14XL jersey and Adidas is so desperate they agreed.

No Pre Jeans anyone?
Been about 10 years but back then that was on everyone’s Cajun list. Last time there, sitting in a booth and guys behind me talking I couldn’t understand a word they were saying. Figured I was in the right place.
Also 1st time I had seen the gumbo and tater salad combo.

Honestly only use them to get an idea of cost and then book with actual airline. Cost will be basically the same and if you have problems you deal with airline and not a company that doesn’t care about after the sale.
Not that airlines care but at least their people have power to make changes.

Anyone have thoughts on Curacao?
Just saw this.
Don’t go. People are nice. Lots of Swedish young ladies that work hotels if you’re young and single. Or not.
Dry ass island without much to do. It was 2017? when we went just not a lot to do or see.- 1

What would happen, hypothetically, if Jim Jordan got up there and nominated Dolly Parton. And then everyone voted for her, because we all love Dolly Parton.
I hate you now.
All I keep hearing is Dolly’s fun southern twang laughing and saying “go fuck yourself republicans”- 1

Cal belongs in a group of coaches with Guy Lewis and John Thompson as coaches that have done less with more. If you want to win recruiting championships, Cal is the guy.
That gets you 10mil a year at a certain school.

What in the world is a mashed potato enchilada? And they are topped with mushrooms?
And brisket. They are very good. More Mex than Tex.

I’m confused. Ya’ll need some better Texmex places.
CARMEL SPECIAL $10.99 Two cheese enchiladas with ranchero sauce topped with mixed fajitas. Served with rice and beans.
ADRIAN’S SPECIAL $10.99 Two cheese enchiladas topped with beef fajitas.
BRISKET ENCHILADAS* $13.50 Four mashed potato enchiladas on a bed of poblano cream sauce topped with sautéed brisket, mushrooms, onions and queso fresco.
Casa mama and Frankie’s Mexican chain in east suburbs of Dallas. All are owned by same family and menus are almost identical.- 2

Yeah, but important is important. It’s crazy. Last CC I bought 2003 used was a 1999 was 21k. I’m looking for 17 ft crappie boat and almost all are this price. Like I say, I have to go to sleep so I can yell at clouds tomorrow.
