I would even be happy with a small pickup like the old Datsuns or Mazdas. Instead my choices are Big-ass Toyota Truck or Ford Monster Truck or Dodge Monster Truck.

Someone recently used that dumb phrase when telling me about not being able to get timely service at a restaurant. I said to them, “Well maybe they would want to if they were paid honest wages for honest work?” and we haven’t talked since. I don’t think we’re going to be friends anymore.

Yup. As soon as I see a fancy toothpick in the picture, I know I should just leave.
