    If the right girl came along, I'd bang her in my truck if I could, seriously... Problem is I'm almost 6 feet tall and not exactly thin. Even when I lose weight I'm still gonna be pretty damn big...

    I'm 6'3" so the double cab was a must. I also got 5% tint for multiple reasons...

    I've also fooled around with a girl in my truck, and it's just awkward because of the way a 2nd gen regular cab is laid out. Arms were bumping into windows, and there was just no room to stretch out. If I'd gotten the 1996 Pathfinder or my mom's old Odyssey as a first vehicle instead of a brand new Tacoma, things would be a lot different, but I just can't do it in my Tacoma...

    They don't like Amstel light or something?

    No, they don't want people to think I'm a real life Joe Dirt... That's pretty much it...

    NO, what I'm saying is if I hadn't gotten the Tacoma I'd have gotten one of three vehicles (as in title in my name; legally mine):

    Dad's 1996 Nissan Pathfinder that was supposed to be mine to begin with but got traded for the Tacoma.
    Mom's 2004 Honda Odyssey that I drove almost as much as the Tacoma but got sold in 2013 when my dad bought a new Pilot as the family vehicle.
    Grandma's 2000 Buick LeSabre Limited that I would have bought if I didn't have the Tacoma and got sold to someone else.

    Once the title is in my name and I'm paying the insurance, it isn't my parents' car anymore, is it?

    As long as you don't sport a mullet they shouldn't worry.

    I barbacked before and it is not bad, but not an ideal job. I found it easier to date a bartender, you get the free drinks and anyplace you go to drink drinks are free due to knowing all the other bartenders around.

    I originally wanted a Yuengling beertap, but all the manager had that she was willing to give me was Amstel Light. I was shocked she let me have one of these things at all...

    This is Pennsylvania, Yuengling is lager's first name around here. All of the Yuengling taps were in use, and unlike less-popular beers like Amstel Light, Yuengling taps are completely worn out and unrecognizable before they're "retired" just from constant contact with bartenders' sweaty hands. I do have a Yuengling tap I got from Puck that is in better condition than the typical tap, but it's condition is still not worthy of my truck...

    Honestly, I had connections before I got the job, and now that I do have the job I have even more perks. If I don't become the successful freelance writer everyone I know including most members and moderators on TW think I'm going to be, then I'll either be an HVAC tech or an insurance adjuster... Even with a good-paying primary job, I'll still do work at Puck on weekends. It's easy to make anywhere from $120 to $300 in a single weekend! Barbacking or running may not be ideal, but at the bar where I work it's more about people respecting me for me and overlooking the quirks that come with having Asperger's syndrome.

    I think Yuengling is the oldest running beer company in the US isn't it?

    I have a friend that, no matter how many times I tell him, still thinks that it's Chinese. Of course the conversation only takes place when we drink so he never remembers the next day.

    Yuengling is not only America's oldest brewery but also brewed less than an hour from where I live.

    Chinese? Seriously? I don't know of any Chinese beers. In fact, the only Asian beer I know of is Sapporo, from Japan... I only drink that when I'm eating at the local sushi place...

    My situation is even better than dating a bartender in my opinion... I made friends with the general manager and all of the bartenders, and then bartenders at other bars know who I know and hook me up... Best part is I don't have to worry about losing all of this in the event of a failed relationship...

    What sucks is my uncle wouldn't teach me stick in this one, because basically he is a stick shift extraordinaire, and even HE thought this van was relatively difficult to drive and definitely not the vehicle a stick shift virgin should learn in. Among other things he said the clutch was very heavy...
