Down here, nearly all that is done with 4 wheelers. My main issues was with trucking the horses to a job, but I have the same problem with people who trailer street cars to the track (track cars should be trailered, just like racehorses).
We could just stop subsidizing them. Repeal the mortgage interest tax breaks, raise the gas tax for the first time in 30 years (I’d do like $3/gal so we could fix the roads and bridges), quit giving tax breaks for ‘work’ vehicles as well as the ‘commercial’ vehicle exemptions for things like emissions, fuel economy,…
Don’t get me started on the shitshow that is the Tar Sands. Leave that shit in the ground (we wouldn’t need it if it weren’t for all your stupid trucks).
Well, in my defense, I was drunk (for the Presidential ‘Debate’).
You’d be surprised just how functional they are, I’ve also traded it in for a BRZ.
Fine, but you shouldn’t be allowed to drive in the “no trucks left lanes”, you should be required to have a commercial license, and your luxury purchase should be heavily taxed to offset the added societal cost of your cod piece truck.
That would be true if it didn’t affect me, but it does every time the bed of a truck blocks a sidewalk, takes up multiple parking spaces, drives up gas prices, or makes driving on public roads less safe. You have to justify your poor life decisions because you understand the logical arguments against them.
I lived in Decatur, TX (where all the top bulls for those rodeos come from) between cow pastures. We had a week where people rode their horses to work/school. I’ve seen horse trailers and the pickups that tow them. The vast majority of professionals use older trucks. The hobbyists buy the newest and biggest trucks and…
No I’m not, my mother had me tested.
If she is, I totally apologize. Unfortunately, I live in Dallas, TX and there are lots of ‘work’ trucks that do nothing other than make life for everyone worse.
If that’s what it takes to get reduce the number of these monstrosities off the road, then so be it.
Horses are rarely for work. Most people who actually work use much smaller and older pickups.
Definitely a feature and not a problem. Plus, really an F450? Just store the damned boat at the marina and drive a car instead of a commercial vehicle around. ‘I drive a 15,000lb towing capacity vehicle to Starbucks’ is a travesty. If it doesn’t fit in parking spaces, it doesn’t belong as a personal vehicle.

I run the Bridgestone RE71r’s but the surface is asphalt so it’s kinda noisy. This was at the Texas Motor Speedway Bus Lot with the Texas Region SCCA. I managed 2nd in STX out of 12 competitors and 24th out of 141 in PAX (I was in the very first group and usually the times get faster throughout the day until the Texas…
Me too, but my STX BRZ is red...
Just in case you aren’t a troll: as far as motorcycle licenses, riders are far more likely to suffer traumatic brain injuries than drivers (most organs are okay, but the person is dead or brain dead).
I believe that all motorcycle licenses should double as organ donor cards, but really the program should be opt out instead of opt in.
