Fuel, Towing, Advertising, All Terrain Pickup

[poteet]

“Tiny” is our customized 4WD, 7400, 35,000 lbs GVW, 16,000 lbs curb weight International and the largest street licensed pick-up truck in the world. Tiny has 10,000 lbs GVW more capacity than the CXTs and a lot more power. It produces 915 lbs. of torque. Power to the ground is transferred via air locking two speed differential with automatic Allison transmission and 22.5 Firestones. We do some off road clearing and this monster really comes in handy. It is also my everyday driver and the publicity factor is priceless. Two sets of train horns and an Alpine mind blower sound system make this truck something children of all ages ask to ride in all the time. It will be in two parades this month with a lighted Christmas tree in the bed. It averages 8mpg, cost $120,000 and is worth every penny!

Your equipment is always a pleasure to view.

Of course, I am assuming this is the same Poteet who has bright green trucks, all shiny with Southco bodies.

Am I making the age old mistake of assuming too much?

 

[poteet]

TreeCo, You've gone and done it again.

After the inspirational "Arborist ethics in the UK"
You've hit the nail right on the head with those excellent links!

 

[Mr_Ed]

It could be argued that the trucks in the thread are conspicuos consumption, but I feel that a work truck that doubles as advertising, personal transport and haulage of goods would be a lot more defensable than a ferrari, rolls royce or similar.

Grover, do you practise hard at being an irritating twat or does it come naturally?

Naturally, my friend...........naturally.

That photo of you with the saw on your shoulder = Conspicuous Consumption of mind altering drugs.

Ok, on a positive note, Poteet's truck has a nice paint job.......Satisfied?

 

[Mr_Ed]

If being a such a twat comes naturally, how about working on NOT being an ignoranus?

And why does resting a saw on my shoulder = consumption of mind altering drugs?

 

[TC]

Sorry if I offended you Mr Ed
Sorry if I offended you Mr Poteet
Sorry if I offended you Mr MasterBlaster

Ok happy now?

TreeCo is right on with his links.
