I get a whole lot more compliments on my work vehicle now than I did

I couldn't care less if, for the rest of my life, I never received a
single compliment about a vehicle I was driving.


I didn't think so either...until I started getting them with the
Tundra. It's a whole 'nother ball game with the new
truck-that-doesn't-look-or-feel-like-a-truck-inside.

It's more comfy, has A/C (my first), is quiet on the freeway, and
handles better than any steenkeng beemer ever made.

I was REALLY ready for a new vehicle, knowwhatImean,Vern?


I'm not talking about having a vehicle you like, that is a pleasure to
drive, and I didn't think you were, either.

I'm talking about someone else complimenting me for a vehicle I drive.
I couldn't care less about what someone thinks of the car I drive, nor
the opinion of one who would place any value in that sort of thing.


Yeah, I couldn't care less about being complimented on how nice my vehicle is, but I'm also
a Tundra driver and I see where Larry's coming from. I've always enjoyed driving a
well-made, high-quality vehicle, and moving up from a '91 Chevy S10 to the Tundra was a huge
breath of fresh air. :-)

So will there ever be a day, throughout the rest of my life, that I
won't encounter in the written word a case of somebody not understanding
the difference between the meanings of the words "to" and "too"?
To reply, eat the taco.
