Sometimes they seem to fit the bill, often they don't. Well, commentator Peter Roberts, a writer and organizational consultant for non-profits living in downtown New London, Connecticut would like to add his own analysis to the list. I've avoided making comments about SUVs, suburban utility vehicles, thinking they would go way of pet rocks or a certain intellectually challenged former Vice President. But I was wrong. In Connecticut, there are two kinds of truck, real ones, like mine, and SUV toys.
Real trucks are hard working and have character.
They carry cargoes of lumber and rocks and tools and roadside furniture finds. SUVs serve no real purpose except to scare the devil out of the rest of us. Real trucks have manual transmissions and windows with a handle crank. Their owners know that a truck is just a truck. It's not a living room or concert hall.
