What's the Rage Behind 4 Door Pickups?

[WilliamTell]

Go to 405 bikes

Whoever owns the white Toyota Tacoma with the very cool 405 sticker in the back window. I figure you might be a poster here and I would like to get that decal for my back window.

Just out of curiosity, what is the attraction of displaying our area code?

[WilliamTell]

Same reason people put 26.2 it 13.1..orwhat college they went too, or what alumni association they pay.

There wad a British commedian who did a pretty good bit on why Americans feel the need to put their colleges on their back window.

[Just the facts]

Prices are going up as well. Apparently there some kind of shortage in used ones. In related news, more people are now parking in their garages.

No doubt. I went to our local Dodge dealer yesterday for an oil change. My truck is 2 years old and a new one with the same features now cost $15,000 more than I paid. I talked to a saleswoman and she said my used Ram 1500 might be worth more now that what I paid for it (never mind how much I already paid on it).

Ohhhhh . . . Now I understand . . .

This might look pretty good on the rear window of a Toyota . . .


This would be a little too ironic . . .

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Tundras are designed in California and built in Texas...So yeah...The Japanese flag is a bit ironic I guess

In a way, I suppose that means the results of WWII were just sort of a minor setback in the overall scheme of things . . .
(let bygones be bygones, that's what i say . . .)

"Hold up just a danged ol' minute there, Bubba. What you mean "overall" scheme of things?
I ain't a-drivin' one o' them thangs. Hell, I ain't even a-sellin' 'em.
You ain't a-gonna see too many overalls in a cubicle farm, though . . ."

Germany/Japan vs. USA - makes you wonder who really won WWII
Detroit vs. Atlanta - makes you wonder who really won the Civil War

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

My last Silverado was made in Canada.

My Avalanche was made in Mexico.

My Pontiac was made in Australia.

My Tundra was made in Texas.

Topsy turvy world.

Makes me wonder if it's all just part of what the Chinese call "The Great Leveling". . .

I teat drove a brand new body style silverado. Made in Mexico and still 46k

Part of that seemingly exorbitant cost has to be the special Adjustable Bra Cup attachments for the steering wheel . . .
(That, or milk (leche) is extra expensive in Mexico these days) . . .
(I've heard of "hands-free" driving . . . but this is ridiculous . . . [sorry, Groucho])

My BMW was made in South Carolina. My wife's 4Runner and my Kawasaki Concours14 is still made in Japan. Most newer Triumph motorcycles are made in Thailand, mine was still British.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Yup. I was actually quite shocked that my wife's Nissan was made in *gulp* JAPAN of all places.

/almost, ALMOST bought a new 4Runner Trail a few months ago, but gave in to the wife to get the biggest back seat I could find...Bought a Tundra instead.

I can't remember the exact shape, sort of a flat top diamond, it had the numbers 405 on top with a nice OKC skyline in black and in the middle was a small cut out of our state. I thought it just looked really cool.

Sorry. I honestly thought that it was just the numbers 4-0-5 and really didn't get it.
What you just described sounds very nice.
(if it wasn't a telephone phone area code, I thought it might be engine displacement, but i sit corrected)

[Servicetech571]

I'm probably downsizing to a Ridgeline (if they still make them in a year)

There's a reason Honda is going to discontinue these. Sales numbers are awful, too many better alternatives.

I think it was someone that enjoys being a Okie. They blew by me eastbound on I-40. I didn't get a chance to enjoy it much less catch it on my smart phone.
