If it can't carry six 6'+ 250# people and their stuff while pulling a trailer that weighs twice the vehicle's own weight at interstate speeds all day long I have no interest in it.

It doesn't matter if the Oscar Meyer truck comes in first, or second, or even last. It's always a weiner.

Oscar Goldwin Meyer? Instead of a lion roar, we get a dachshund growling?

Now you are breaking my heart. That looks like one of my two mini-dachshunds that I used to have. They got old, and went on to happier hunting. I am still a vampire. I would shed a tear, if I had any left. Sylvester the cat also this weekend left us and went to happy hunting ground. I had to sing the Choctaw death song for him.
