YOU are part of the problem then. Should have gone with a Prius.

Really? It sounds like a free fire zone at my house and I have yet to be targeted.... On the other hand maybe it sounds like a free fire zone here so the bad guys get the hint.....

Yep, pickup trucks are where the guns are found!!

I remember living in a small town in the 1980's. In the winter, with below zero weather, every truck in the grocery parking lot was running with the keys inside while folks were grocery shopping. Oh, and ALMOST every one had a gun in the gun rack in the truck.

I miss those days. The entire county had five thefts from homes in the entire year. My insurance agent was so concerned that he asked me to lock the house. He got tired of trying to explain to the "main office back east" why there was no evidence of forcible entry......trying to explain that NOBODY locked their homes just went over their heads.

I think we need to work on getting back to the 1980's.

No problem, until you need to move a refrigerator. Or need to defend your life from hooligans.

Lol, sure i am. We've done so much to lower our carbon footprint. We sold two boats, just have a pontoon now. Down to just one vacation a year flying by airliner. Sold some dino burning toys and am considering picking up a hybrid or EV . What have you done ?

Stay calm, you will get used to it.

It’s hard to find a gun rack for my Mercedes. And I do miss my Chevy pickup.

Hey, he’s told us he’s trained in the art of conversational de-escalation. He can talk an assailant into surrendering in 30 seconds or less.
