20 mpg? In a Saskahoochian winter?

ROFLMAO.

Your mileage may vary when fighting 180kph blizzards and rolling
through 2' of powder while pulling a 20T trailer full of moose meat.


$10K means nothing if you die in a blizzard because your frigging
hybrid's battery goes flat when you're snowed in o a grid road for 24
hours.

Y'all up in the GWN have never experienced the joy of living in a city
which has been named as one of the top ten placed to live, have you,
Dave? Pardon my LoCal state of mind for forgetting about you Fort
Stinkin' Des^H^H^HFreezer types.


We live in the real world, here in the Great White North, That means we
drive with our tanks full, shovels and sleeping bags in the trunk, and
enough booze, cabbage rolls and moose meat to survive until the Hydro
crew comes to find us when they're trying to restore the power to the
west side of the country.

Sorry, old chap. My commments were meant only for those living in the
civilized sector of society, Bear Whiz Beer boy.

P.S: Please keep sending your cheap pineywood lumber to us, and keep
refining that tarry sand of yours for us, eh? 'At's a lad.
