my car: <br /> <br />well, i am almost always behind the wheel of a Peterbuilt 387 with a 475 Cat engine and an Eaton 10 speed tranny, pulling a 53 foot refrigerated trailer. when you have things like that wandering the interstates, most people want bigger cars and SUV's to make them feel safer, even tho there is not really any reason for it. 80% of all fatal car/18 wheeler accidents are the fault of the car. <br /> <br /> <br />but when i am at home i drive a Dodge ram pickup truck. why you may ask? because it is pretty hard to stuff a bunch of 12 foot surf fishing rods, coolers, and other fishing gear in a mazda or toyota compact car[:D] <br /> <br />and how am i gonna haul all the 4x8 sheets of plywood i need for my model railroad if i didnt have my long bed pickup? <br /> <br /> <br />SHORT BED PICKUPS SUCK!!!
