Q: jmc wrote what does that say about me i wonder you were born and raised in the us but you are acclimated to the land of little cars england. you are comfortable driving a vehicle taller than all them little cars over there. you came back and rented a 2-door speck. its not only much smaller than your 4x4 dakota but you are now surrounded by full size trucks and suvs that are not common across the pond. so does that make me a redneck woman in that ill probably never ever own another car yes. thank god for redneck women. .

well 3/4 tons usually have tires with stiffer sidewalls and stiffer springs. thats why there is a difference between 1/2 and 3/4 and not just 1/2 and then a 1 ton. i think a boat like that should be pulled with no less than a 1 ton dually for safety reasons. why would someone want to risk it that is way too much to tow safely with a half ton truck. it has more to do with stability than power and/or/braking. if it starts whipping or swaying youll have your hands full for sure! just out of curiosity how is a 3/4 ton more stable they are physically the same size and mostly the same parts. are you referring to the frame twisting or something since it is lighter .

tbone wrote you think only liberal tree huggers buy econo cars get real tbone and quit squitming and spinning. you were the one that pointed to conservative republicans to be the definition of tree hugger. um more made up statements to boost your warped mind there tbone more lying on your psrt miles it is only a few posts back but to save you the trouble looking i cut it out and pasted it below i said - you are the one saying that the only people that buy them are tree huggers anyway and most tree huggers dont put high mileage in their cars to begin with as that would be wasteful. and you replied with - what a load of crap. you think only conservative republicans buy economy cars or hybrids now regardless of what you may have meant this does sound like you are defining tree huggers as conservative republicans and since you are definantly a conservative republican does that make you a tree hugger too - perhaps you should show some that have not. ahh the old turn it around defense. ya those unproven japanese hybrids are great huh until you provide some data saying different for a change yep they are great. you are spinning so fast now that your are starting to get me dizzy. there is no guarantee that we will have anything in the next 20 years or ever for that matter. but i can guarantee that unless there is some serious motivation to look for them fear and greed it simply will not happen. thats a seperate issue here tbone. you stated we need to save our oil. but you also said oil wont last several more decades. what oil are you talking about that wont last the foreign oil or the oil you wont let us find here in the usa at our current rate of consumption and increase in usage all of it. now lets make this clear. the oil isnt suddenly going to stop but the supply it is going to fall below what we are currently using and our economy will be in the toilet. if oil wont last decades more then you must mean the foreign oil. no i mean all oil. so how is your idea to save our oil for when we really need it going to help if we wait till we really do need it but lack the means to get to it seems to me you dont want to save our oil for anything. because people like you need to be kicked in the balls to get your selfish asses in gear. as long as there is oil readily available you and those like you will just keep your heads in the sand and just go right on using it at current levels while making the bs claims that newer forms of energy need to be found meaningless words. like i said fear is a serious motivator for people like you to cut back usage a little and push for newer forms of energy as well as greed for manufacturers to come up with better forms of energy to capitalize on those fears and needs. everything that you posted in this thread so far more than proves it. but going by what you say if we do develop these new technologies then we will not need the oil so why spend the money time and risk to the environment looking for it when so many others already are and if these new technologies do not work out we will still have some. oil consumption will continue to be quite high for a long time to come with or without these new technologies. why your japanese hybrids arent going to put much of a dent in it. sure its a start. but the end of high oil consumption is a long ways off. thats why we need to find what we have and start doing so now. doing what you want and waiting until its already to late is absurd. lol. we can cut our consumption of oil considerably in a very short time if we wanted to but too many people like you claim that it is not economically feasible to do so. of course this nothing more than just a bullshit justification for not wanting to change your lifestyle in any way and as long as you have that crutch of unused wells ready to go it will continue. as far as drilling and tapping we can do that much faster than we used to so you claim of it taking decades to get a well operational is more complete crap. there are many oil wells in texas that are not being pumped or drilled because it is simply not worth it since we can currently buy it cheaper than we can drill and pump it so we do have some wiggle room already. you mean oil companies are just sitting on oil stocks lol i said that earlier and you strongly disagreed saying if they drill it they will tap it. lol they are tapped or there would be no way of knowing what is there. there is a big difference between tapping and pumping and some of those well have oil as thick as tar and will require more infrastructure to be able to pump it and it is cheaper to buy it elseware than to set up to pump it now. your note of some untapped texas oil is meaningless. that amount is not enough to do much should we need it. weve got to find waht we have and like you note sit on it unti
