It's going to be funny when the jacked up brodozers are electric

Will they add 'engine' sound to them, or what?

Maybe some huge vape stacks that billow out smoke that smells like pancakes with maple syrup.

An eco-friendly brodozer, that would be the Red Green edition!

Amateur!

I had a landscaping estimator show up today in a jacked, brand new F-250...it'll never see a speck of mud or tow anything.  Must have cost north of $100k.  Would have to say, in my opinion it makes the wrong impression.

I guess....I don't know.  Just rubs me the wrong way.  I'm a grumpy old man and I would prefer he should up in well worn long-bed F-150.  I also have a hard time trusting someone who won't do a walk around of the property, insists on staying on the driveway, because I can see his footwear is gonna get dirty.

The more established outfits in town all issue their estimators and supervisors Corollas and Priuses.

If I recall, that's the exact reason Vman bought a near base-model F-150 as a work truck to go to sites.  Then he went and threw it all away, and now shows up to site in a brand new Merc.  Probably wears leather shoes that don't get dirty.   :rofl2:

The F-150 will not hold and tow  as much as 250
This guy could be an the owner of the company

Probably the owner.  Doesn't get his hands dirty.

I'm surprised you haven't seen the contractor in our neighbourhood with the brand new Ram TRX yet. It's always loaded up with drywall and other crap, and used to work and work hard.

Friday afternoon brought out some nice cars. Beautiful white F-Type SVR. Very fast and loud. Little MG in background is Ops Managers just out of storage. Nicely restored.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Don't raptors have next to nothing in terms of payload?

That is what I thought. Haha. I remember getting really burnt through my hair the first time I took a long trip in my old Spitfire.
