Charge for shoveling out your neighbor’s Toyota and helping to push it out of the middle of the street, where he’s stuck sideways in the snow:
NO CHARGE
Charge for driving back and forth in front of your neighbor’s house for 5 minutes to clear a path in the snow and then helping to push his girlfriend’s Honda up to the curb because she can’t make it up a 3 degree snow-covered slope:
NO CHARGE
Charge for driving up a 1/4 mile hill to shovel out your 73 year-old ex-mother-in-laws sidewalks:
4 OUNCES OF GLENLIVET
Joy of owning a full size 4x4 pickup truck during the worst snowstorm in 30 years (16 inches+ and still snowing):
FREAKING PRICELESS. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT KIND OF GAS MILEAGE IS YOUR LITTLE CAR GETTING SPINNING IT’S WHEELS IN THAT SNOWBANK?

Charge for Whistlepig being an insufferable asshole after suffering through self-righteous anti-SUV threads:
Wow, is it time for another SUV meltdown already?
Let’s see… I predict trainwreck status by page 5… lockdown by mod due to anarchic pile-on by page 12.
“Yeah, but what about the other 364 days a year when you drive that gus-guzzling, terrorist supporting, run-right-over-the-top-of-a-little-car-carrying-puppies-and-children BushHog? It’s just wrong!”

But I thought that behavior was discouraged.
Whistlepig, who’s going out to shovel his walks for the 4th time today (4 inches of snow since 5 pm).
If I get bored I might go into the 50,000 threads, but I’m not that bored yet.
And an update:
Giving up your parking spot in front of your house to a neighbor’s Honda that can’t make it up the alley OR up the street and then helping them push it into the parking space and offering to help them out in the morning:
NO CHARGE
But I think all my neighbors with little cars are home now.

But seriously, folks. We’ve had a huge snowstorm. I will probably call some friends in the morning to see if they need help getting out of their house and then spend a couple of hours helping my non-4x4 neighbors. The plows will only get the major streets tomorrow. On our dead-end street, we never get plows.
I’d like to point out that you have a pickup, not an SUV. I, on the other hand, drive an SUV. A 4x4 2-door GMC Yukon with a 350 small block. I get 14 mpg coasting down hill in neutral with the wind at my back. I love that thing.
Last three snowstorms we’ve had, while driving to work in my little front wheel drive, every vehicle I saw in the ditches were 4WD. They come out of the gates and run good on slick asphalt, but have no advantage for stopping. Too many people forget that. Brakes is brakes, no matter what you have a driveshaft hooked up to.
Anyways, if you drive or ride anything that uses gas, you support the evil guys. Maybe less than the heinous pigs that drive SUV’s, but you still do.
I’m so sick of the anti-SUV shit. If you have nothing in your life to complain about, cry about SUV’s. Make a statement that means absolutely dick.
