    He was a former customer of ours and lives locally, we have mutual friends.. he literally shows up to a 5 year olds birthday with a crew of guys that follow him everywhere.

    Who the fuck does that at a kids birthday party? This is Santa Rosa, not Santa Rosakhistan. Nobody cares, everybody knows about him since he's lived here forever and 50% think he's great for helping our area get on the map (because world class wines certainly didn't.. :rolleyes: ) and the other half know him and thinks he's a fucking shady tool.

    Do I need a truck? Not really... Most of what I haul could be done with an SUV... Do I want to try to cram another elk into the back of a jeep style 4x4? Not again, in this lifetime... Also little things, like putting bows in the bed of the truck in their hard cases, compared to in the back seat of a car or SUV...

    There's a lot of things I don't miss fighting with... But there's things I miss as well... DCLB is a hell of a lot harder to squeeze into the mall parking lot than a car, but I also don't have to worry about scraping my bumper on the curb

    I have a motorcycle (sport bike), a show car (no trunk space), and my lambofeeties. I needed a truck to pick up and haul things around. Going grocery shopping on a motorcycle is just a horrible experience. Had to get fill dirt for my lawn, sod, furniture. Doesn't work with a car.

    The ONLY shitter about owning a truck is everyone always asks you to help them to move.

    I don't wheel much and when I do its light. So 2wd is perfect for me.

    No argument here. I never really watch him but saw a show with him on it over the weekend. What a tool. Nice hair frost.

    To be clear, I love my Prerunner. No need for 4wd. Not sure what the OP was getting at, he seems like an idiot to me
