MoseySusan Posted September 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2015 I didn't mean to because he's a quiet guy to begin with. The others were trying to draw him out into a friendly conversation. They were talking about buying a new truck, and he was talking about engine volume, fuel use, changes in design from year to year, bashing on Ford. Then someone said something about lack of room for transporting kids. His reply was, "Kids are brats," to which I added, "They're kinda tough to engineer." He didn't say anything for the next 70 miles of the trip. Well, it's true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted September 24, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2015 Unfortunately, state laws have also made it illegal to transport children in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic.Unfortunately, state laws have also made it illegal to transport children in the trunk.Ball gags are frowned upon, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 24, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 24, 2015 This is what happens when engineers branch out of their field of expertise and experience. He should have known better.But I think he knows better now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get one equipped so can tow anything is freaking hard and then finding one is even harder, of course that is true of all the domestic trucks.
