Do Europeans drive pick-ups?

[muy_thaiguy]

and i know not all americans are like that but there is just too many people that drive them vehicles

Which vehicles? Trucks?

[Mjinga]

Just because someone owns one, doesn't automatically make them white trash

I would have to agree with that, since I know several people (lawyers, doctors, etc.) who are very well-educated and who make upwards of 500,000 USD a year, and who have descended from similar education and wealth for three and four generations, who drive them.

I'm sorry, but little street cars that people in other areas own just don't cut it when the roads have a layer of ice, and then a layer of snow.

But I’d have to disagree with this one, since I live in the Western States myself, I drive a street car, and I’ve driven in just such conditions with it. That’s the beauty of chains!

Except you will bottom out going over bumps and through creeks, right?And if you hit a big enough rock you could destroy something. Trucks go right over the top of all that. (not those lowered ones, of course.)

Yeah, but you're talking about off-road there. (At least, those things can hardly be called roads.)

California for one.

Outside of the Central Valley?

[btownmeggy]

And wait now, before y'all start calling me prejudiced, my dad is a (somewhat) well-educated doctor, though he certainly doesn't come from generations of wealth and prestige, and he drives a pickup truck. In rural Texas. And he wears overalls most days. And he pronounces "window" "winder".

Just because he has more than an 6th grade education doesn't mean he's not a hick.

[Mjinga]

Yes, nearer to Los Angeles and San Diego, I was thinking.

I might, except I never found a creek on a road before, nor a rock that big.

[Kid_A]

Is there a law stating that anyone driving a pickup truck in an urban area must drive like a fucking douchebag?

Toby Keith- Big Ol' Truck



Yeah you can see the girl comin'
From a mile away
She's got her big wheels turnin'
She's got Oklahoma plates

She's got her sun roof up
She's got her windows rolled down
And you oughta feel the ground shakin'
When she comes to town

Yeah I'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in her large machine
Man I wonder how she gets up in that thing
It casts a big shadow sittin' in the sun
She's got it revved up rockin' ready to run
And someday soon I'm gonna climb right up
And take a little ride in her big ol' truck

She's got bucket seats
Fully customized
In your wildest dreams painted on the side
It was built to run, she was built to show
She's got a Haggard hit playin' on her stereo

Yeah I'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in her large machine
Man I wonder how she gets up in that thing
It casts a big shadow sittin' in the sun
She's got it revved up rockin' ready to run
And someday soon I'm gonna climb right up
And take a little ride in her big ol' truck

Yeah I'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in her large machine
Man I wonder how she gets up in that thing
It casts a big shadow sittin' in the sun
She's got it revved up rockin' ready to run
And someday soon I'm gonna climb right up
And take a little ride in her big ol' truck

Big ol' truck
Ten feet tall, ten feet wide
It's a big ol' truck
Here she comes again man

Isn't Toby Keith that "Boot in your ass, it's the American way" singer?

I can't stand him. Such an uncivilised attitude.

Okay, that's Texas, Texas (if you haven't realized it by now) is looked down upon by other Western States because a lot of the people from there act like jerks to the rest of us whenever they come to other states.

GAH!


4WD

The other is a ute!

A ute has 4wd. Therefore it may be called a 4wd!

I think Texas is looked down upon by everyone except most Texans for a wide, wide variety of reasons.

Get rid of some of those gas guzzlers-think of your kids for gods sake.

fucking 19 cars for fucking 11 people.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!

Yeah.....wtf?

[zimmah]

No, it's a Ute.

This is a truck:

Closer to a semi-truck if anything, but a regular truck has a bed, and sometimes a hood for the bed. Also, the term "Ute" seems to only be a Aussie slang term, nothing more.

I've used it on crossword puzzles. I believe the key difference is that it is a "pickup" truck.

EDIT: Wikipedia says they're the same thing, so unless you've got a hard-on for semantics (in which case, noone probably gives a shit) let it drop.

wikiperia is an "open-source-like" enceclopedia, ca be updated by any random retard, and is therefore not always a trustworthy source to rely on.

Four cars for your 17 year-ord, you spoil him.

you can't drive them all at the same time anyways, so it's not that polluting, especially not if they drive together often (multiple persons in 1 car, rather then 'following' each other)

it is however pretty much unneccesary to own this much cars IMHO

So if they have multiple persons in one car, they dont need the others.
Two cars, unleaded, would do it.

Now this is a sweet ride in Canada

Good for the environment?

I very much doubt it.
