I think I'll stick with my truck.
What was I supposed to do today?

I wonder what kind of mileage that car gets when towing. I bet it sucks because it has to strain so hard to pull?

I'm guessing that guy has to start hitting the brakes about a mile in advance of any red light.

What a timely post! Just yesterday I told my wife that I need a new truck because my four cylinder truck has to work too hard to tow my boat. She wanted me to just put a trailer hitch on her Taurus since it is a six cylinder. Somehow I just can't see me pulling a bass boat behind a Taurus.

In high school and during college (circa 58-64) I used to pull our ski boat behind my VW Beetle...boat would run faster than car would pull it. Those were the days!
