    Direct hit, Ruben. Love it.

    Next outing, include the bozo “truck nuts” lovers, too.

    Whups, being redundant — exact same crowd. Never mind! : )

    They’re reverse laughing at him because he’s not a huge tall guy cramped in a very small car. At least he’s not waiting for Skinner to give him “Steamed Hams”.

    Tell me it’s not the same with guns.

    Don’t Hummers have gun racks?

    Didn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger drive a Hummer?

    I suspect Teslas are starting to draw similar reactions.

    So instead he buys a bunch of AR-15s. Hate Hummers, but maybe we were better off.

    Old Tejas saying: “Big truck, small *.”True in Tejas, probably.

    This is exactly why there are Hummers.

    Here, all this time, I thought that if a guy was getting a Hummer he was …

    And – ironically – you’re much less likely to get a “hummer”.

    I always wondered about the name choice.

    Interestingly, the Brazilian slang term: “pinto” means: “an undersized – um – unit.”

    This goes far towards explaining why Ford had difficulty selling the Pinto there in the 70’s . . .

    “Olha o Pinto dirigindo o Pinto”

    (“Look at the Pinto driving the Pinto”)

    Chevrolet had their problems in Spanish-speaking countries with their “Nova” – which sounds like: “It doesn’t go.”

    This was back in the days when Marketing Vice Presidents were the (otherwise unemployed) sons-in-law of the CEOs.

    Evidently they now work for political candidates.

    Astonishingly, the most popular book in the 70’s business world was, I kid you not, “The Peter Principle.”

    Crikey, is everything a “dick thing”?

    I don’t see Hummers on the road much anymore, probably because they guzzle gas. These days, the Compensation Vehicle is gonna be a lifted, oversized pickup truck, usually with pristine chrome and paint so you can tell it’s never actually hauled or towed anything in its existence.

    Yup, big fancy-Nancy cars are to make up for a man’s mmm, how to say this? Ah here’s the word “inadequacies”. So to guns. Not only do guns display a mans insufficiencies , they can also be used to protect him from the monsters in his closet!

    Same with dudes who have loud exhaust pipes on vehicles/motorcycles. Compensating for lack of brains or lack of…
