it wasn’t a shot at you (as we talked about)…

more like a shot at my coworkers who said (from an actual conversation)…”we spent 80 dollars filling our tank this weekend” when they never even haul anything, just their own behinds too and from their house to their job.

Realist, driving a truck has nothing to do with it unless you don’t NEED a truck.

We realized we don’t need a truck nearly as much as we thought we would, so we’re going to sell it.

There’s millions who need a truck for their livelihood, so they’re allowed to complain. However, those people I see sitting in their truck reading paperwork while it’s running SHOULDN’T complain. I’ve actually been turning off my truck at lights that I know I’ll be at for more than 30 seconds. I can time it by the crosswalk lights.

FYI fellow readers, Realist is a personal childhood friend of mine and we seem to differ on certain topics. We’re resolving this conflict on IM right now

o yeah, and also, if you drive a truck, or an suv, or a tank, you also have no right about complaining about gas. if you feel soooooo strongly about the price of gas, get something more gas-cost-friendly, and shut up.

anyone who has ever voted for BUSH has NO right to complain about the gas prices, you made the problem, it should be my god given right to rant and rave because YOU are the reason why gas costs so much…period.

i will not buy gas that day, just out of principle, and because, frankly, bushites need a slice of humble pie.
