In Pursuit of Persuasion: FW

The title of this post says it all. I think my truck pretty much rocks everyone's world, even if they don't know it yet. There are many advantages to having a big truck, all of which are viable and worth considering. Here are ten of them:

1. Everyone thinks you're hotter for driving a big truck.
2. You tower over every other driver on the road.
3. You can hit things and not even care.
4. You can carry big, manly things in the bed.
5. Everyone thinks you're hotter for driving a big truck.
6. You can change lanes without looking, since everyone will move out of your way.
7. You can haul a trailer with big, manly things in it.
8. You can drive over a cinder block without it even touching the vehicle.
9. Your truck looks even better when covered in mud.
10. Everyone thinks you're hotter for driving a big truck.

As you can see, this list more than outweighs dinky little concerns like bad gas mileage, terrible parking potential, and severely limited passenger capacity. Such disadvantages pale in comparison to the glory of owning and driving a large, powerful, roaring machine that moves according to your every whim. Driving a truck is more than just directing an automobile; it's piloting power, and looking good while doing it.

The American symbol of the horse in the Old West eventually evolved - willingly, I'm sure - into the pickup truck in our modern age. References to pickup trucks can be seen in our politics (Pres. Bush occasionally drives other foreign dignitaries in his white F-250), music (American Pie), and movies (Urban Cowboy), not to mention television and books. A pickup truck, as you can see, is really the only way to go to be truly American. Anything else and you're practically European.
