A column written by a cityidiot and approved an paid by other cityidiots.
When you can haul with a smart car without it falling over or being run over by what you are hauling come back and write this column.  Until then drop by your local farms on the way to cottage country and tell them that they are only driving a pickup because of the status associated with driving one.  
Is it still a status symbol if it's 15 years old, covered in dust, rust  and got a bent rear bumper?
