I haul two overly-spoiled hunting dogs, most days.  Little bastards have it so good, they don't even know it.

Dude, if they were spoiled, they would ride in comfort like mine..........


Road trips are now in the lexus, depending on distance.


Alex hangs out on Tiffany's lap, with a blanket of course.

Greta gets the backseat on a Duluth Pack (brand) seat cover system. I highly recommend this set up if you haul dogs in your car.

Little brat gets toys, blankets, etc.




Nakid,


36 gallons = 76$ = 2.08 a gallon???


holy shite, you are getting ripped off!

I am paying 1.82$

;D

 Kind of like we pay less for a Monster in the states than someone living in Bologna.  I'm not complaining, just trying to explain the rational to people that don't understand why an average guy would drive a 14mpg vehicle.  My SUV gets ~17, so I am guilty too, but I only drive about 20 miles a day, less than 10k per year.

A lot of the cost of a bike in Europe is VAT.


I thought I didn't drive much...........


I drive maybe 8miles a day.......and that is coming home for lunch!

There's too much hair for them to be in the truck.  They have a beautiful aluminum dog box, with blankets, fresh air, etc.

good point, they do have a bit more hair than my dogs.


do they share a box or have separate?

Are the boxes mounted in the bed or "free standing"?

My old pickup was a great setup for our lab and viszla - I had a topper with side windows that could be cracked open just enough that 1 dog had their nose out 1 side, and the other dog had its nose out the other side.  I miss that truck and my dogs.

I rounded up. Lowest price around here is about $1.98. Apparently gas in the Northeast is the highest in the country...

Every commodity is high in the Northeast.

Gas here is the same as for cyrus...at least for today.

Real trucks don't have spark plugs.   [cheeky]


11 mpg city/highway/uphill/downhill


Mine is just a little baby truck. ;D

That gets close to 20mpg hwy. [thumbsup]

It's $2.07 here as of an hour ago.

We actually are normally the highest in the Country. It sucks.

Thanks, NAKID.  Wanted one for a couple years, and finally pulled the trigger.

I paid $2.19, the other day, and just saw that the Union 76 near my house said $2.23.

What about a Ridgeline?

;D

No available V-8=not a real truck...
this is all i need a truck for... seems to work just fine



and the trunk is DOPE.

but that's a nice looking Ford, indeed.  i'll give you that the Ridgeline is kinda ugly.. ;)  very nice inside tho.
Like this is the racing, no?

That thing^^^^ is the yuppie version of a cross between an El Camino and a Subaru Brat.

I test drove one - it takes about 20 seconds before you forget what you are driving and feel like you are in a car - not a bad thing - very nice driving and very nice interior.

I might have bought one if I could get past the looks and cost.  At the time is seemed like too much money for what you got.
