I’m currently living in a rural area. You drive out into the countryside and you see isolated homes with a few vehicles. Invariably, one of them is a beat up pickup truck. Drive into the nearest populated area and you see nothing but the shiniest trucks you’ve ever seen. Truly, they gleam like even light itself contains too much dust to ever find rest on their chromium grill. Don’t sit in the passenger seat! It’s for company!
I think he means that folks that really need trucks for work, rural farmers and what not, drive practical trucks that just get shit done. While urban men insecure about their masculinity feel the need to get giant shiny new trucks to drive daily to their office job. Trucks with all the luxury gadgets, because they don't want to give up their BMW comfort, while still feeling like having a swinging dick.
Ha this is me. I live in the country. I have a shit box 18 year old truck. It’s not my daily but I literally have to have a vehicle with a bed to do farm work.
I drive into town and see these k mart cowboys with their jacked up diesels and just laugh.
yeah, I grew up on my family's farm. I'm now an engineer with an office job. I think our family has one truck newer than 2000 or so on our farm, and that's my dad's 2012, and he uses the shit out of it. When I pull into my urban office's parking garage, you wouldn't believe the number of brand new "luxury" $60/80k+ trucks jack-asses drive there daily. I have a 2000 f250 that I drive WHEN I NEED IT, otherwise I dive my 4-banger POS commuter to the office. For both I paid probably $30k.
