When you move to Alberta, you'll notice two things. One is that it's normal to pay 7 dollars for a box of cereal & second is that about half the population appears to own an SUV or a giant Ford Pickup truck. In fact, I've seen a Ford F450, a truck I had no idea existed. It's big. You'll also see a whole stack of Hummers on the road or taking up two spots in the parking lot.
You know, if one was a farmer or tradesman, I can see the need for a large pickup truck. It's obvious you need that towing/hauling power..but exactly why does a guy living in the city core who works in an office need this thing for? I have a few friends who own large trucks and the high prices of fuel are making a top up of gas cost about 150 bucks PER WEEK. Imagine paying over 600 dollars a month just to drive a truck simply because you want one. Given that these things get about 15 mph, it's costing these guys 6 bucks (gallon of gas) to drive to the mall & back. And I thought it was expensive to fill up my Echo at nearly 50 bucks for regular gas. I've been mulling getting a Smart Car because I have no need for back seats & they apparently get about 600 kms per 22 litres of Diesel.
Found this sticker on a paper box outside the Purple Perk in Mission (where I live). Sorta sums up my feelings of the whole Big truck small dick thing
