What's wrong with trailers? You're welcome to come visit us in our "double-wide" home and let me know what you think. This is what we can afford. This is our home, we love it. It's nice. It's cozy. It's comfortable. We have well-water and a septic tank. This is how we'll have enough to last through our retirement. (I drive a truck too.)

I see these comments here quite frequently.

Nothing wrong with pickups either.

Not everyone chooses to live in a conventional house or an apartment building.

I didn’t get a bible, a gun or an American flag but I did get the best vehicle I’ve ever owned - both in terms of creature comforts and utility.

when I bought my truck. Don't really need another bible, my wife has several, but it's not like she's wearing them out.

from folks who oppose or are offended by any of those things.

It largely works. For every person who points it out in disgust, X number are informed and seek it out, and of those Y number make a purchase.

Maybe the car dealer could incite a mass shooting before the buyer even got the gun home.

Yee-Haaaa,... bang bang,... shoot em up.
