Broke down and got a new truck.

Trust me it is all good, I hate to hear anyone losing a job, especially if they are older, hareder to find something new.

Yeah, he had about 7 more years and he would have retired from there. It's alright though when he left, he left with a full pocket. I think his severence package totaled out to be about 150,000.

Hell yeah that is great in a way, still so close to retire and have to do that, Still sucks on that part, my father has 1 more month and he is taking all 5 weeks vacation and then he is gettin his knees operated on one then the other and then he is throwing in the towel at 68, still throwing cases of pop for Pepsi everyday and has for 40 years....He worries that when he retires he will get old quick, he has seen to many friends retire and die years later and thinks about it

[BackwoodsBoy]

I remember my dad told me along time ago that we should all be retired when we are young and then work when we are older that way we can actualy enjoy retirement. Maybe hes right?   

[Temptation]

Yeah live life backwards come out of the ground and get younger each year until the end where ya end up ear deep in some pussy....But it would be our Moms cooter...Aww man I just threw up in my mouth thinkin that

[BRAD]

I think I like your Dad's idea!

But as Backwoods said, the money is sent overseas. Yes they give americans a chance to work, but they are pocketing the money. Don't get your panties in a bunch, I was just stating my opinion.

My panties are just fine. Who said something?

I wont pick on Temptation anymore for his "truck", I've done that enough.

But if you want to rest the blame on the problem with the american auto industry...put it where it belongs....the UAW.  Pay some guy 45+ an hour to push a broom.  WTF?!?  And we complain that the companies are moving over seas....shocker there.

My mom owns a Honda just like it in white.

She's been very pleased with hers.

i like those honda's plus they have the best of both worlds. hauling your quad, and a case of beer on ice outta the way

I like those Ridgelines. I test drove one and it was had a good feel to it.

another genius post from MD! Having a truck with an american name does not make you more of a patriot.  At one time, that was true, but the big three did nothing to keep up...other than outsource production...to Mexico and Canada

Way to go again Temptation.

Went out looking at trucks yesterday. Strangely, a comparable Toyota Tundra was 4-5k less than a Ram.  Granted, Dodge will rebate the $hit out of it to get you to buy it...but still....

[Temptation]

Where ever it might be made i am super happy with it for sure

Good post Mad Dog.
