Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

SporeJunkie said: People that buy trucks and don’t use them are dipshits. Is that what we’re talking about here? I mean if I could fit my yz250, sportsman 500 and a 750 brute force in the trunk of a car then I might would consider it but I can’t. That’s why I have a truck. If you don’t need one then by all means get a forester or some shit. But if you’re wanting to haul any kind of anything then good luck besides maybe a waverunner.
That's nice and all, but it changes nothing about what I said. I've owned plenty of trucks and I've hauled more miles than your average joe by several factors. My Dodge Cummins had 400k miles when the transmission went for the third time and I scrapped it. Trucks have their place for some, but they are still garbage vehicles, and the vast majority of them are bought as status symbols. For the record, you could buy a $1200 trailer and haul those toys behind a Kia if you wanted, and the Kia would be a better daily vehicle. Hauling your toys, even if it's 40 times a year, is a pretty dumb reason to justify a truck when a more economical vehicle could do it and offer better creature comforts. It's pretty easy to work this out financially too, it's simple accounting. Explaining this to American's however is like talking to a wall, they want that utility for the three times a year they need it and are willing to drive an inferior vehicle to get it, so I digress.
Also, I'm sorry about your brother. That's a terrible way to go.
Statistically trucks and especially lifted trucks are far more likely to crash and cause crashes simply because they are inherently less stable platforms. Of course, they also tend to run over small cars and do more damage to them. So cars are on the loosing end of vehicle to vehicle collisions though the safety standards have changed and helped with that, but cars are on the winning end of crashes not involving other vehicles. This is because they not only tend to crash less, but they also crash better. Personally, I've not crashed in my 18 years of road driving, so I buy cars that have utility I need but avoid the machismo boost of showing off a monster truck to my neighbors. I have an '03 Express 3500 for towing my 16 foot box trailer that hauls my race cars. Then I have a Jetta Sportwagen TDI and a 8 foot flat bed trailer for my motorcycles and racing karts. I use the Sportwagen for my family hauler as well and I put something like 30k on it a year. The cool thing with the TDI is that I get 40+ mpg even with the trailer on back, it's comfortable, quiet, and with the Kerma tune makes a nice load of torque. With nice winter tires the SportWagen motors right by pickup trucks in the snow and the ice too, they're skidding around and the JSW marches on.

Ok yeah ill agree with all that. Their are a bunch of people that buy them as status symbols especially diesels. I mean wtf does a high school kid need with a Cummins. So they can “roll coal”? Dumb asses. The area I live trucks do come in handy and we’ll take em through a mud hole too. Hell ill take a dodge neon through a pond if you give me your keys.

Rolling coal is this pathetic trend that small dick truck owners really got into. Basically, you modify your diesel truck so that you can pump excess fuel into the engine, that allows you to create a thick black exhaust smoke. It's black like coal and is high in particulate matter. So anyways, you drive your truck up to somebody on the sidewalk and then you leave them in a thick black cloud of nasty ass smoke thus proving how microscopic your dick is. Google it, you'll see tons of videos. It got so bad that a lot of states made it illegal.
Also, that Miata if fucking awesome!

Where I am like half of all vehicles I see are trucks and maybe 1 in 5 looks like it lives out of town let alone gets properly used. They drive like dicks and park like dicks and I shake my damn head at every single one of them. The majority of them have migraine-inducing LED lights and they're scared of the road which is why these people own a truck. 6am a week or two ago, trucks parked at the side of the road, probably 2-3 on my way in to town and I'm passing them in my G5 doing almost 90 with all seasons on. These are always the same kind of people that make you do all the moving to the side on the backroad because their vagina is tingling like Spiderman under a giant fly swatter

It's from fuel that hasn't combusted. On a diesal there is no spark to ignite the fuel and compression alone creates the explosion. I think you can do this by going in a higher gear than your road speed but Im sure those guys open a valve more putting more fuel in the cylinder.
