That’s a real damn good question. 

I’m a van man, thanks

Oh, I’m so afraid of big man diesel blowing his dumb fucking soot at me. Really got me there! 

Look, I get it, some of you guys think that cars are killing the planet,

No, pretty much anyone who has scientific knowledge in this area agrees that cars are killing the planet. Don’t try to downplay it because it doesn’t align with your view that you need a monster truck to get to work.
