KK is some form of enlopid, I can't quite classify such an object.

His lifer status makes it difficult to isolate-it may be a bacteria slastinic but I'm not sure.

Don't worry about it LS20.

Ad and Purby aren't even Genome, so don't bother with it. Why can't your feeble minds respond to my easly asnwered questions? I have a short conjecture, you don't like what I posit as truth.

Wow... people really fuss alot here anymore. It's just a truck :p I thought it was kinda cool :D

As bro said, there won't be any value left to any vehicle we buy. We run them into the ground. Heck, the Bronco is getting a totally new exhaust system and will continue to be driven until it can't move under it's own power anymore. We don't do vehicles alot. So it's a big deal for us. We buy them roughly every 13 years. That's the minumum it has to last. The vehicle will then continue to be ran until it simply doesn't run anymore. To be honest, I have yet to see a Civic or Corolla still running that is 13 years old with only a minor problem every happening to it. The Bronco has never seen a shop in it's life except for an oil change now and again o_O Even the brakes are still factory original.

I think the problem is Rogo that we work on two different planes. You work on the people carrying factor with emphasis on resale. While we work on cargo factors with emphasis on durability and no intentions of resale. I'm not saying either view is wrong. But don't you believe forcing your way as automatically right is just a little arrogant?

PEEF POOF

Your'e done Purby, I hope you like bubbles. I can't call you a winker, but I can dismiss you as the most ignorant person I've ever met on a forum.

Rogo


Peef Poof. See you in a week.

Take this to my inbox, a lifer should know how to insult someone on this forum Lad.

Rogo

No. A lifer should know that it is important to respect others, no matter how absurd they might be, and not go around insulting people.

I give respect to others until they prove to me that they don't deserve it

There are very few that don't insult people. This thing is that this one feels that his status intitles him/her to respond without circumscription.

I told you to respect the forum and reply to me individually through personal messages.

You've lost any respect you've had, unless you can respond in a civil manner to my PMs.

There are very few that don't insult people. This thing is one of those that feel that their status entitles them to a strangly heirarchical role. Strange how stupid this one is.

Rogo

You've called me a "winker", "ignorant", not "genome"(that one was creative), and a "fool"

and I have told you to do nothing but shut up

....

Let ATOT be the judge of character

Note the time for ATOT enjoyment

Amazing! Why would anyone care if you deleted my personal messages?

Why doesn't a MOD ban your replies-I was only replying to the OP's concern about purchasing an SUV, and then you go and hijack the thread with false claims.

What boat are you pulling with such a beast thecoolnessrune?

Please show me a false claim.

And the mods can see PMs...and now the fact that you are lying.

Purby

Why would you go the trouble to post a screenshot of the manipulated desktop that shows me not posting?

Are you really so insecure?

tcns-I hope you enjoy your summer! You should probably purchase a pontoon boat to pull behind your new rig!

Dude... I said it like... on page 2.. It's an 18ft. Ranger boat. Lot's of vehicles have tried pulling boats out of the water. We've watched first hand.

Ford ranger and Tacoma-- that was hilarious.. the dude in the ranger spends 30 minutes starting up the ramp, only to slide back down. Dude with his Tacoma hitches up, punches it, makes progress, tires slip, the boat pulls him into 6 ft. deep water. Backend inundated. Water leaking into the cabin, had to get a Peterbilt semi to tow him out along with the boat.

Oh, btw, I never told you about that one bro. You weren't there, it was during one of my private walks. You know what I mean.

Lincoln Towncar-- Don't get me started :laugh: It was a little boat with a trailer using gold cart tires. It couldn't pull it out worth crap :p

Tundra-- HA HA!! The "F-150 killer" Yeah right! No one ever told the driver how easily those 20" rims bend when you hit a hole in the water with tires that thin! :laugh:

Odly enough, I've also watched a Nissan Armada, you know, the foreign version of the Expedition... It tried to pull out a 16 ft boat... It failed... they unhitched it.. and then it sounded like the engine was doing around 4500RPM just to pull its lumbering body up the ramp o_O

Two things I've learned:

Tough SUVs do have a purpose.
Foreign competitors only know how to build high revving cars and don't know squat about trucks, SUVs and the torque needed to actually do work.

That's because regular people in other countries do not own boats...

Sometimes the SUV is necessary, like when I've taken 8 people to the lake, while pulling the boat. I guess the double dose of bad fuel economy that day (boat and suv), is gonna get some people's panties in a wad. ;)

Hey, at least the guests pitched in toward gas. :)
