That's absolutely why I say you're poor. You're trying to look smart by saving 50 bucks a month driving a 16 year old beater pickup that gets 25 MPG. Let's just use a little math to show how that piss-poor cop out is NOT a way to prove that you're not poor as dirt. Typical MPG for a 4 banger truck is around 21MPG, meaning you're saving 4 MPG by driving that old piece of junk. Additionally, everyone knows that older vehicles rarely get the same gas mileage as they did when they were new, meaning you are probably only getting 2-3 more MPG. In a vehicle that holds a standard 15 gallon tank, you're talking about 60 miles more per tank MAYBE. That being said, you would be saving approximately 2.5 gallons of fuel per fill up. Your truck has 350,000 miles on it, so assuming you've had the truck since new (surely impossible as you couldn't afford it), over 16 years, you're looking at an average usage of 456 miles per week driven. That means You fill up 1.2 times per week, at a cost of $3 per gallon, equaling 4.8 times per month, or a savings of 4.8*4*3=$57.60 saved per month, or about 2 bucks per day (and I'm being GENEROUS). Yah, it's not a very strong argument that you're "saving money" by driving an old beater piece of crap. Just admit the truth and embrace it drunkNun -- or should I call you JOE DIRT?

Following gay trends FTL. Replace hat with spikey hair and you've got a picture of....yep...you got it...YOU!
Unlike you, I spend my time in the circle of people who can afford to keep up with the latest trends. Dart bars and McDonalds are not places where you'll find people who dress like this. Top of the hubs, Hiltons, dance clubs, and expensive restaurants are the places to be if you want to see how far outdated you really are... but be forewarned, you'd have to sell your $1000 car or $150 pickup to get in! Incidentally, you may want to have a look at this list of people who have sported the 'popped collar' look.
Tiger Woods, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, The Fonz ("heeeey.." LOL), Prince Charles, Antonio Banderas, Lenny Dykstra... on and on...
How many of them are metrosexual? None... although they all do have something in common. They're all RICH. Maybe that explains why it's so difficult for you to grasp the concept of fashion... because you've never been rich. Keep driving that pickup and saving your 50 bucks a month though... you might get there (if you live to be a couple hundred thousand years old).
