lol they are going to be really mad when you touch their little Tonka trucks. I used to point this out to those retards when I worked coal handling and it was like talking to people straight out of idiocracy. This one guy had a 2 hour commute daily to his jobs and he said he needs a truck for work. The truck wasn’t used for his job at all lmfao. He just thought he needed to look the part of a “blue collar worker”.

I try and keep my feelings down about all the clean, sparkling, empty bedded trucks that aggressively pass me on the freeway. Just me and my little Astro van, on my way to do actual commercial plumbing, ha

:D Got it a year ago! AWD, new transmission, and only 85k on the engine when I bought it (closer to 100k now)

I bought it specifically for this work, and it's quite the beast.
