One of the most amazing open letters you will ever read

[chcr]

A blue one.

 

[paul_valaru]

you know what they say about guys with blue cars...

 

[chcr]

Thtop it, jutht thtop it!

 

[jimpeel]

waht kind of car do you drive?

I take the bus!

F-350, one ton, crew cab dually w/ 7.5 liter (460 cid) gas V-8. 6,300 lbs, unladen, of pure comfort and utility. Like driving your living room. Room for six full grown passengers who can sit with their their legs crossed in the back seat.

I say where my transportation goes, by what route, how fast, and at what time. I listen to the stereo at whatever volume, and on whatever station, I desire; and I don't have to worry about some blissninny complaining about it. When I buy gas, I don't have to present exact change.

Vastly superior to bus travel, unless you have a desire to read while you are transported to your destination.

Buses do have one great advantage. They are big enough that, even without a seatbelt, you are relatively safe from injury or death by virtue of sheer weight advantage.

Whoosh!

I know. Mine's the biggest unless someone here has one over fourteen feet long. I really like driving it home.

Then, again, buses are quite long.

 

[majestyx]

I drive an F350 Crew Cab Diesel longbed 4X4.

 

[BeardofPants]

I drive a pair of legs. From the hips to the ground, even.

Mine's four wheel drive ... but only in the back.

Aren't you wishing your ran on gas about now? I remember when the dieselers used to brag about how they paid a lot less for fuel than the gassers. The worm turns.

 

[Altron]

Yeah, enjoy your cute little trucks. Do they come with built in purse holders?

19 feet.

BTW - all this Orson Scott Card talk made me request one from the library.

 

[catocom]

My '86 chevy sportvan is close to that.
I've been driving my s10 v6-2.8L 5spd lately though.

 

[Gato_Solo]

A blue one.

A blue Prius?

 

[jimpeel]

Wow, I sure screwed that up. The nineteen foot wagon made me ponder "My wheelbase is 177 inches and that's over fourteen feet." The total length of my truck is a little over 22 feet.

I can say that some of the very best cars that I have ever owned were station wagons -- 1960 Buick, 1972 Ford woodside, 1975 Pinto although that Pinto was weak on the mechanical end. Had the V-6 and it left me stranded several times and the last time it did it I parted it out.

My truck

 

[jimpeel]

My truck

Holy crap! You own Saia?

 

[Gato_Solo]

Besides, mine really is.

No it's not. It's sad and cynical...kinda like me.

 

[catocom]

My truck

that looks to be almost as long as his wagon
