Why do people always have to compare vehicles? Each vehicle has a positive and a negative... I just don't get it? If it rolls down the road, and hauls the scrap there, what's the difference?

Might as well ask "why do people compare computers?" "Why do people compare <insert item>)"
Cause we can an it's great conversation as Tater said. If it doesn't interest you, why read the thread? Or if in person, maybe walk away or ask to move on to a different subject. I'm not a "Mine is better then yours!" but I do enjoy at times listening to folks compare trucks, cars, computers, etc. Never know when what their saying might prove useful.
An guest now?
Man I miss skippy at times..

Today I'll drive my $400.oo 90 Ford 1/2 ton 4x4........tomorrow I may be driving my $900.oo 74 Chevy C-30 pulling the trailer I make out of the Ford, next week the 350 in the 74 could be in another truck hauling the leftovers from the 74.......... If it runs it don't matter what brand it is, if it quits it's still a paycheck and/or parts for the next one.
I even haul scrap in my Vette and in a back pack on my Harley-Davidsons.

Mucho thanks to Wiki;
Automotive industry in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJohn William Lambert's Buckeye gasoline buggy, made in 1891, is considered the first practical gasoline-powered automobile made in the United States. Charles Duryea and J. Frank Duryea are generally acknowledged as the first U.S. car makers to build more than one automobile. In 1893, they produced a one-cylinder two-stroke gasoline-powered car. They were followed soon after by Elwood Haynes and Alexander Winton. By the end of the 1800s, the biggest auto manufacturer was Albert Augustus Pope, who through a series of companies sold mostly steam and electric automobiles. The first mass production automobile was made by Ransom E. Olds with the Oldsmobile Curved Dash in 1901, who sold 3,750 of the vehicles in 1903.
