    Have you ever been to Upstate NY? Had a friend or family spend any time at all up here? I’m thinking you should. That might shine a big spotlight on the differences in living here vs the UK.

      Buddy I’ve lived in the middle of nowhere and in cities. I’ve lived in deserts and snow ridden mountains. I’m not unfamiliar with the issues inherent to location. And you should visit Scotland some time if you think the UK is flat and urbanized. Hell I’ve driven 2 tons of explosives, supplies, and people through the hills of northern Iraq with no roads. I am not the person you look to for inexperience here. When I say everything you do with that Tacoma is possible with a sedan and a trailer, I know what I’m talking about.

          It was over when you threatened violence over a specific form factor of vehicle. I’ve just been hanging the lights for others stopping by.

          Take everything away from a man, and see what happens. Then multiply that by every upstate, rural, blue collar man trying to get by… And see what happens to society. It ain’t gonna be pretty.
