It goes up and down the driveway with the plow, it goes to the dump, it goes to home depot, it goes up and down the driveway some more...and fifteen years later the thing is turning to dust. All they have to do is wait until gas prices take another major swing in the right direction for the rebates on that new Tundra to get enormous.

Yes, my Mom raises minature horses, used to run 40 head of cattle. She has a 100 acre farm and a pickup truck. I really have no problem with working vehicles and with a few dents or mud splatters, actually admire them.
No my problem is with the road warrors who use them as 3-4 ton commuting vehicles. The right tool for the right job and an individual commuting alone in a 3-4 ton vehicle is a waste . . . unless it is armored and in Iraq.
