Proof of the "trendiness" of trucks/SUVs....

My solution was to move someplace warm.

I drove one winter with tires so bald they eventually went flat. There was zero tread on them. I still didn't have a problem driving in snow.

When I lived up there, we didn’t even have tires. I drove around on the steel wheels.

Sometimes they had too much traction, so I’d hose them down at night and drive on the frozen donuts that remained.

Mid-winter in the “snow-belt”, driving uphill both to and from the lumberjack job on wheels made of ice: THAT is character.

We are buying a truck soon because we are sick of having to borrow my dad's every other week for this or that. It gets old. If I want to move a bike or buy some furniture, I don't want to have to drive down to my dads an hour away, drive back, pick the shit up, move it, then drive back to my dad's with his truck and then drive my car back home. Megalame.

And we are buying a tacoma because that's what my husband wants.

You can't be serious.....

Tires are the #1 most important thing in rain, not 4WD....

And a white Lexus is typical for Asian women who drive slow. Way to reinforce the stereotype.
