You're gonna look kinda strange hauling plywood with a Honda Civic... and I
think I'll keep my Suburban for deer hunting, thank you very much.

I had hoped that it would be reasonable to assume that trades people
would be given somewhat larger vehicles. I was discussing the insanity
that comes with filling parking lots with urban assault monstrosities to
get a quart of milk, Doug. I also see no reason to drop a single child
off at a school with a 3 tonne SUV driven by the same woman who is
writing letters to the editor bitching and whining about the price of
gas.

A Suburban to go deer-hunting, albeit overkill, would be somewhat
acceptable if that's all it was used for. Up here in Kanuckistan, you're
not allowed to shoot deer from a moving vehicle, Doug.

thanks)

Drive something a little more responsible and walk a little further into
the bush, or buy a Quad if you have problems with your knees/legs, like
I do.
