Why have a truck? * 11
    #23441449 - 07/14/16 05:33 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hey so for the record I came from a conservative family. Really strong traditional TEXAN MONSTER TRUCK background. My parents never supported buying a TRUCK and never had a TRUCK in the GARAGE

I went on to become a boyscout and eventually an eagle scout. A troop full of white people really influenced me. I ended up DRIVING all kinds of TRUCKS. PICKUPS, 18-WHEELERS, FLATBEDS, MONSTER etc. I was surprisingly good with them too. It was tons of fun and for a nerdy asian kid, being the best DRIVER in the troop was a fond memory and boost of self esteem

My parents are financially supporting me through college at the moment. I work and pay for some of my stuff but my parents are giving me a generous hand. They said they would not support financially if I got a TRUCK. Once I am a little more settled, I plan on getting some sort of MILK FLOAT

With the all the recent CAR CRASHES, I have been thinking more and more about TRUCK rights. I am leaning more towards the right on the issue. I feel being familiar with TRUCKS at a young age made me realize that they are incredibly powerful and there's a lot of responsibility in owning one. This is pretty surprising considering people in California (my home state) are pretty damn anti-DRIVING

But my buddy brought up the idea of "why have a TRUCK in the first place?". I know tons of people with TRUCKS but I am yet to hear of a single time someone has actually protected their family with a TRUCK. It's not like people go around town TRUNDLING their TOYOTA HILUX openly to the mall and chipotle; where there are MASS VEHICLE WRECKS

Is it a psychological thing? That having TRUCKS makes people FEEL safer? I have little interest in NASCAR. But I was wondering if you guys had any life-saving experiences with TRUCKS?
Or any real reason outside of hobby to have a TRUCK?

It's not 4 feet off the ground. That's a car with a bed, not a truck.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

I have always hated truck drivers. Used to live out in the suburbs and tweakers would literally speed up and down the long straight street I lived on... I could hear their engines roaring sometimes even pretty late at night and they would literally just go up and down the road :shakefist: For a lot of people having a big ass truck seems like a trophy sort of thing too, makes them feel better then everyone else.

More recently though I have known a lot of truck owners who actually got trucks for practical things like hauling dirt/ lumber and other things.

So it really comes down to a personal thing. Asshole truck drivers tend to be the ones in really expensive overly big new trucks that drive really aggressively.

Where as smart truck drivers go for the smaller but still useful older ones that are less fleshy/ expensive but don't have modern computers running them.

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Trucks are a lot of fun but we need more restrictions on them wont someone think of the children !


--------------------
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

For work, hauling tools/equipment and things.

For towing a boat or trailer.

Or purely for off road capability/shenanigans.


Other than that, I don't get why a person would purchase and drive a truck as their daily driver....They're terrible on gas, they handle like shit, and they usually don't ride all that nice.....But lots of folks do :shrug:  . This is one of those little petty things that really annoys me.



My pops wants to get a truck sometime in the next few years but he has absolutely no use for it, nothing to tow and rarely ever has the need to haul something, he just says he has always wanted a truck :drgonz: . He said he's also interested in an Escalade instead, but 98% of the time he would be the only one riding in it, he has no need for a large SUV :nonono: ....I don't at all understand the logic & reasoning of some most people.




Or how about those that modify their trucks for off road use, and never or rarely take it off road. Or those that lift their truck, and the truck is only 2wd.

TRUCKS are cool and obviously useful but i never owned one.  I drove a TRUCK today .  '96 f150 with a mildly worked 302(heads, cam, etc.).  I help a disabled guy out with groceries and stuff.  I took his TRUCK out and around since it has'nt been out in awhile.  I can dig TRUCKS.  I was looking for a bronco before i bought my last car, but they rust like 70s fiats 'round these parts.  I'd love a '73-'77 f-series.  Or a mazda repu with a bridgeported 13b or something.

My greatest passion in life is the natural world, plants, animals, fungi, the whole outdoors, you get the gist.  A truck would come in handy for certain things associated with the outdoors, but I wouldn't get a large truck, just like a small Chevy Colorado, or Toyota Tacoma, something that could fit a couple bodies, err I mean bags of soil.
