Classic joke thread...

You can't possibly improve on perfection, even though Glock made generation after generation of pistols for some reason.

There just aren't enough memes on the internet, so I made one of my own today. I hope you like it. Feel free to spread it around.

P.S. I decided the white bar at the top was too big.

I honestly  don't understand that.  Trucks are designed to haul stuff and make you money.   Why take destroy  the functionality of the vehicle?

Then again I don't get people that buy a truck to never put anything into the bed.

Probably going to get a pickup this year and Miss Kitty keeps ogling the full sized crew cabs.  I point out that most of them have 5.5', or even smaller beds and ask what use is that?   I want a pick'em-up-truck to, uh, well, pick things up.

Probably going to get a pickup this year and Miss Kitty keeps ogling the full sized crew cabs.  I point out that most of them have 5.5', or even smaller beds and ask what use is that?   I want a pick'em-up-truck to, uh, well, pick things up.

In 2020 I got a Nissan Frontier 4x4 with the long bed and little jump seats in the back of the cab.  This is my second Frontier and has actual doors that allow easier access to the back jump seats.  The back seats wouldn't be comfortable for long distances, but they help to discourage people from asking for a ride.  They still provide enough room for two extra people if you just can't get out of ride alongs.

My only problem with my first Frontier was that it was a little weak.  The new one has 310 HP and a 9-speed trans.  It runs out like a sports car.  And it tows well.  Over this last weekend I helped a friend move with the largest U-Haul trailer filled to the max, and some overflow stuff in the bed.  It towed up and down Western North Carolina's Stecoah Gap with ease.  The trans and HP combination is fairly powerful and the cab is quiet and comfortable.  They did a body style upgrade this past year, so the cab interior looks quite modern.  But it's still a pickup truck.

If Miss Kitty is set on a crew cap luxury Detroit unit, this would be a come down.  But if you want a usable truck at a decent price, the Frontier is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

I had two pickup trucks. Both were Chevy Silverado 4x4s made in Michigan, regular cabs, with 8' beds you could haul building materials or off-road vehicles in and shut the tailgates so nothing falls out. I had fiberglass truck caps on both so I could lock everything up inside them too. You can't do that with the tailgate wide open, with wood and drywall and stuff hanging out the back. Anything less than 8' just isn't a real truck to me. If you're going to buy a truck that can't haul anything you may as well buy an SUV. The last time I checked, and it's been awhile, the inside of a Tahoe SUV up to the back of the front seats was an inch longer than the inside of a short bed Silverado pickup. If you don't need to haul anything taller than will fit inside an SUV you don't need a truck at all. And if I need to haul anything that won't fit in the back of my Yukon, I can use the 5'x8' tilt-bed utility trailer I haul my ATV on. I threw a tarp on it and hauled a load of compost bundled up like a loaded diaper once, It worked even better than a truck because I didn't have to shovel it half as far up. I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

I saw some Star Trek memes a couple days ago.
