[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 17520, member: 1522"] [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] This discussion between the USO and NF got comical at my dinner table last night (kinda). For those of you who have kids between 10 and 15-yearsold you can probably relate. My 12 and 15 year-old were debating what was better, the Hummer H2 or the Porsche Cheyenne. My kids dream big and have this illusion my wife and I are rich. Anyhow, it was determined that both vehicles were about the same price range $50 to 55K. Then my know it all 12-yearold Ryan made the statement that the Porsche Cheyenne turbo was the ultimate because it was 92K. Oh how this all-important debate between the two of them dragged on through supper. Each one trying to out do the other with all of their so-called technical data. My wife then asked why a turbo model would cost an additional $40K. Ryan’s reply was something a long the way, “mom you wouldn’t understand because you drive a Suburban”! My wife then said wouldn’t it be better to buy 2 brand new Suburban’s and a small car or 4 decked out Honda Civics for the price of one Porsche Cheyenne Turbo. Again, Ryan cocked the bolt back of his anti-aircraft mom gun and shot her out of the sky again with such a ridiculous question. So the debate rolled on. Then I asked one of the two dumbest questions of night. Why not a Lexus or BMW SUV. Ryan then turned the anti-aircraft parent gun on me and pulled the trigger. I was told only yuppies drive BMW’s and rich people drive a Lexus or Mercedes. My last dumb question was, “well all of these points you’ve both made are very valid, but the fact remains we don’t have an auto-von here, and the speed limit in Texas is only 70 mph on the highway. This really through a wrench into their discussion, but again the anti-aircraft parent gun was turned on me and I was once and for all blasted out of the sky and out of the discussion.
