also if it really is a 'bimmer' shes probably been scammed. the real deal is called BMW, sometimes beemer. bimmer sounds a bit iffy, i'd get it looked at by a reputable garage

It's not a huge truck, it's the same size as a normal sedan. You really think all Americans drive these fuckers?Dilbert_X wrote:
I understand exactly how easy it is. My point is driving a huge truck 99% of the time for the 1% of the time you need to move a load makes no sense.UnkleRukus wrote:
I don't think you quite understand how much easier it is with a pickup truck. You can get all the materials you need in one go, and you can get rid of all the waste from the project in one go (sometimes two, depends on the size of the project.) If we need to take something in to get repaired like the lawnmower, pressure washer, table saw, or some other large power tool. Then we can load it into the back and take it to the shop. No mucking about.Dilbert_X wrote:
You don't need a truck for any of that.
Again, people who kid themselves they need to commute all week in a truck because they occasionally need it at the weekend are daft.

Depends what you mean by a 'normal sedan'.
Each time I've spent time in the states I've seen a high proportion of those 'fuckers' on the road.

I have a 1994 Nissan Primera (AKA 1994 G20 Infiniti) P10, automatic transmission, 1.8L engine (SR18DE) no modifications.
I usually get ~450km/tank for urban driving, or ~700km/tank for open-road driving, I usually do entirely urban however. Current NZ prices are ~$NZD2.20/litre, thats about $USD6.70/gallon. Half a tank costs $NZD45-50. ($USD35-40). About a dollar less with a pak'n'save voucher.
However, because nature hates my city, I'm getting about 300km per tank. 2/3 of the roads in this city are damaged too, so car damage per km is quite a lot higher also, due to bumpy/damaged roads and sand in the air.
She currently drinks 95 octane, due to idle issues. Most cars here drink 91, which is 4-7 c/L cheaper. I think the idle control valve is clogged, but don't have the gear to remove/clean it myself.

You can always get a scooter to save on petrol.

Soooo

PS: Fuel in AU atm is around $1.50L AUD atm.
Solution? Car pooling to uni.
My uni is 70km away, 3 times a week.
So it was costing me a fuck tonne a week to get there an back.
Have teamed up with another 2 blokes, who we all have the same days at uni, and we rotate cars.
1/3 the price

I live in MA, lots of hill towns with shit roads and shittier winter driving. A lot of people who own those things slap a plow on them and during the winter they get paid to sand/plow parking lots and private roads. Spring/Summer/Fall they're used to fetch mulch, gravel, wood, pellets, and as I said before. People are big into home improvement around here.Dilbert_X wrote:

Lots of houses need fixing up and the majority of people around here like to do things for themselves instead of hiring a contractor. Lot easier to do that with a truck, maybe not of that caliber of the one I posted, but a smaller pickup does the job quite well.
Oh you mean one of these fuckersReciprocity wrote:
