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???
Maybe he's just 'hedging his bets" that someday he'll need that 1Ton to haul all his "loot" back from the Casino when he "...hits the jackpot..." (wink,wink)?
