GNC’s marketing even targets a more sophisticated crowd. Their super bowl commercial was a mid-50s guy being all posh and then being a cool surfer. Meanwhile, the Ram commercial was a bunch of cavemen or vikings grunting around.

Yeah, I’m not sure just how much it would actually add to our costs, but it would be something.

Actually that is another shocking thing I see here in SC versus in the north. In MA, even if you were a complete hick with no education, if you did something foolish, you’d be embarrassed about it. In the south it’s no big deal. “Oops, I dun dropped ma truck on meself again! 5th time now! LOL!” There is no cultural…

Alternatively, if you’re going 35 in a 55 and everyone else is going 55, speed the fuck up. You’re a hazard to yourself and others at that difference.

there’s bed liners for that.

Still has the wrong engine. V8 or no deal.

People who put up their winscreen wipers when it threatens to snow. Yeah, it’s easier to clean your window, but then the springs wear out and your wipers chatter. (sorry, this is turning into things that annoy me...)

Clean the old oil out of your engine by running water through it.

If you drink enough antifreeze you definitely won’t get heartburn again though.

These trucks have alot of drag and alot of weight; weight can’t be reduced much more than what Ford has already done and still come anywhere near their advertised towing capacity. Gas-powered power trains have also just about peaked unless some huge break throughs occur in the technology, such as homogeneously-charged…
