Wow... I have not seen you around this forum since you had to leave Houston. Judging by your photo, you got passed thinking it was okay to cross dress once in a while, to full time cross dresser? 'Miss Houston? (pun intended)

I have a 2013 f250 I use to haul my 42' trailer ever few months. So when I'm not hauling do you subconsciously judge me saying I dont really "need" my truck since I'm not hauling?

Your whole statement there is off.

A bill to ban the use of hand-held cell phones is what we need, seriously.

We can start by making it illegal for a person that is driving to have a dog on their lap

My observations on the highways im familiar with:

45 south fom downtown until beltway 8 or back (gulf fwy) - really bad drivers.
I 10 West from downtown until beltway 8 or back - pretty good drivers.
290 West from 610 to beltway 8 or back - average to good drivers. but really bad construction nearer to the 610 loop.

All freeways - pickup trucks drive faster than any other vehicle.
All freeways- 25% of the cars have Texans stickers or emblems.
All freeways - 0.2% have Astros or rockets stickers.
All freeways - 30% of cars are pickups.
All freeways - 20% of pickups arent carrying anything at all in their pickup bed/the back part of the truck/the purpose of the truck.


Also avoid white trucks. Usually dbags. Every white truck I have seen have been aggressive, but stupid drivers, middle finger or balls hanging from the tow hitch, and again, crap drivers. And when you get to know someone with a white truck, they are usually a POS. This has happened to me multiple times.

You must be a better man than I to be able to know what people are like based on the color of their trucks. I'd be interested in knowing what the other colors represent if you have that info.

Sorry, only know about white trucks. No other color or vehicle is as easily stereotyped as white trucks. Maybe minivans. Look at the accident photo posted above by houston-dan. A white truck was involved.


I rest my case.

I really dont understand why pickup trucks drive so fast. If you wanted to race then an f250 was kind of a stupid choice. Driving 90 mph in the right lane with a truck does not make anyone think you are cool or well endowed.
