Ah, just what we all need driving at 50mph down our streets!


International Truck and Engine Corp. is producing what it calls the world's biggest production pickup, a 14,500-pound monster capable of towing 20 tons. The 5- passenger 5-passenger CXT is nine feet tall, eight feet wide, 21 1/2 feet long and gets about seven miles on a gallon of diesel. The truck is manfactured in Garland, Texas.

2. Now that is not
going to be easy to pull up to the McDonalds window. Parking? I can hardly park my truck. Man, it would be great for pulling my horse trailer but who could ever go anywhere with that gas mileage? What a waste of fuel but I guess if your ego needs a boost this is right up your alley.

5. Let's be clearer still:
A $2 pair of socks stuffed down the front of your pants will do just as much for your self confidence as this $100k piece of petroleum wasting tin.

7. You know what the vehicle with the lowest satisfaction rating is?
The Hummer. Reason? BAD GAS MILEAGE! (well, DUH, you expected 30 mpg when you bought it? More money than brains, eh?)

Well, I think the Hummer is about to be replaced at the bottom of the satisfaction rating.

It is a cool truck, and in days past I would be in even more open admiration of it, but I could never justify buying one. A big toy for rich boys.

8. Since the AWB ban has lapsed, why not up the ante to RPGs...
So the driver in the average wagon or sedan has a fighting chance? :evilgrin:
