Not so much entertained by it as I am irritated by hearing the stereotype bandwagon rolling through town, blasting the same old anthems.

There's a reason stereotypes exist, it's basically because we aren't all little individual, special snowflakes nearly as much as numpty PC-education systems and advertising like to make us out to be.

well i finally bought a new vehicle,
what do you think?
and none of those hiveminds is big enough to include everyone. There's no single stereotype that's universally applicable or even accepted, no matter how many people in one circle can laugh at it.
The whole SUVs = crazy, hick soccer moms from bumble, USA, who vote republican for no reason, hate gays, and are too stupid to understand the environment is what's behind this plug, anyway, and it's just tired and ignorant.

I've watched the Grizly in action on Future Weapons. I hate the anchor of that show. Comes off more like a twat than anything else. Anyways, but the Grizzly is an awesome truck with V-bottom design and all for IED protection. Have they been deployed in Iraq yet ?

if you drive 15,000 miles per year in a car that gets only 10 miles per gallon (as the very worst, like the cadillac, do...even the bigger hummers get 12-15 or something), you're still only paying an extra $1500 per year from a $1 increase in gas prices. If somebody's paying $6,000+ per year just for a lease on something, it's not so insane, especially since a much more reasonable number, like 20 mpg for 10,000 miles is only an extra 500 bucks a year. OMG HOW DO YOU PAY FOR GAS is a pretty pointless question.
over a period of about (just under) two years, i spent about $2100 on gas. (made a thread about it, somwhere).
$2100 / ~23 months = <100 a month.
relatively affordable, especially when the truck payment is $371 a month.

I was referring to the cost of the increase in gas prices only--not even total cost (from $2 to the current $3 or so).
So yeah, I was being more than conservative with those figures ;)
