No, around here the old farts are just as bad as the young idiots. Just yesterday a guy who must be in his 60's or close to it was telling me how much he wanted to get a new Silverado 1Ton diesel. I asked him what he's pulling and he said nothing, just for driving around. He wants the 1Ton because then he can put cheap farm plates on it. I said isn't buying a $60,000 truck a rather expensive way to save a few hundred on plates? He really didn't have much to say about that.

I'm trying to be friends with this guy so I had to employ Herculean effort to contain myself: one short little guy, no wife, no kids, no anybody or any thing to cart around, eyeing up this $60k 8' tall quad cab diesel pickup for not much more than casino runs. Compensating???
