just responding to some posts:

Option one states that you DO or HAVE owned a pickup truck, so even if you dont own one now still choose option 1.

I dont have more options because the stereotype does not extend to SUVs, minivans, or anything that is not a pickup truck

The less your pickup truck runs, and the older it is the MORE you seem to fit the stereotype...so old and rusty doesnt excuse you lol :neener:

So far it looks like the stereotype was right.....:banghead:
 
Have owned guns for 39 years. Have owned a pick-up for less than 2 years (my current vehicle).

When I had 4 kids at home, I drove a mini-van (and owned guns).
 
Never owned a pick up.
I wonder how many gun owners drive American Cars???
That would be another interesting poll.
I do own an American 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo SS 303hp small block V8, but its made in Canada. :evil:
 
im 20. ive only owned trucks. 6 of them as a matter of fact. all single cab Fords. 4 Rangers. 1 F150. and 1 F250. my daily driver is a Ranger 5spd 4 cylinder. i have a mud tuck/hunting truck that i built out of a Ranger i rolled. heres a picture of the ole girl.

I drive a Toyota Camry. I even take it offroading out to the desert shooting range. I wish more truck owners were gun owners though. There's a heap many trucks here locally but not many gun owners.
 
dixierifleman,
don't most ford rangers look like that anyway after 200,000 miles (you know most everything has rattled off and is somewhere on the side of the road:neener:

Just kidding. My dad's ranger went 240 miles and never had any major problems, just a bunch of electrical headaches and a clutch-job.
 
No stereotype here. I am currently contemplating though whether or not to put my NRA and IDPA stickers on my bland looking Focus. I like my anonymity in traffic.

Haven't owned anything with a trunk

in 22 years. All pickups since then and they just keep getting bigger.:D Current truck is F-250 Super Crew 4x4. I think I want one with duallies next.
 
kungfu- all that in only 240 miles? What a POS!! :)

My dad owns a Ranger (he can't drive anymore, but won't sell it). Most of his vehicles have been trucks -- toyotas before.

I've had a '76 F250, 390 engine. Now I have an F150 SuperCab.

Yes, that's all I've ever owned. First truck was a beater Ford purchased from my grandfather, second (current) truck was a lightly used Ford that was the right price at the right time (beater Ford finally crapped out completely at 190k). Now I need it for work anyway.

A VW GTI with the clutchless stick would be just about perfect for me (more perfect, if it were RWD or AWD) - enough room for solo road trips and gear (be it camping, camera equipment or guns), good mileage, fun, reasonably priced.

Neither room nor money for a second, unnecessary car though.
 
2000 Saab 9-3 hatchback and Mrs Scout has the 2001 Saab 9-5 wagon (AKA "The Family Truckster"). Owned Saab's since we we're stationed in Germany 87-91. Five in twenty years.

I'm the only guy at deer camp in car. And yes you can fit at least 2 good sized deer in the back and close the hatch. Use a tarp to keep the blood out of the carpet. :D

Everyone at camp and the Deer Processor just :rolleyes: when they see me pull up.......

(Guess I've been reading Bear's commentary on NC and Correia's story too much. :neener: )

Interestingly though, I plan to acquire something like a Saturn Ion in the near future for gas consumption reduction.

gmfullsize.com has a Duramax forum, check it out.

Thanks, I joined. Looks like an interesting forum. Actually, my first pickups were Fords, I just couldn't pass up the deal on this one.

Scout26, I once hauled a six point bull elk in the back of a 1968 Torino GT coupe. It's all I had at the time (1973). Had to remove the seat though.
