re: Spinoff for those who do not have trucks... How do you get by without one?

lol, that's probably one of the dumbest things I've heard today. If your home ownership needs require a pickup truck on a regular basis, you probably bought a piece of shite house that constantly needs work done on it. Why don't you stop being a poor and buy a good house and drive a 4-door luxury sedan like a normal person.

One of my best friends was one of those "I'm not a redneck, I don't need a truck"

I can only remember one instance that I needed a truck, and it was actually to help a friend out. I just borrowed a trailer from my FIL and helped my friend by using that.

I drove a truck while in college, but never really used the bed of it. Since college I've owned a car and a jeep. I don't think I'll ever own a truck.

There are tons of people who get by without trucks, as someone said you can rent them for pretty cheap.

That's so untrue it's not funny. I've gotten all my mulch, re-built my fence, built an 8x8 utility shed, laid tile and laminate flooring, and plenty of other home improvement things above and beyond what the average home owner is going to do. All with an SUV. I'm not saying a truck isn't nice and people shouldn't own one. But those "I'm a man dammit, I NEED a truck", people are fooling themselves. If I ever needed to move a couch or something and absolutely can't do it with my SUV, I can rent one for the same price as renting a pressure washer. Plus I have a trailer for my SUV, so I don't even need to do that. Truck enthusiasts (not all, but a lot) fool themselves into thinking they are manlier than they are and just have to have that truck.
