Compensating

This post started off to be one of those meme's that seem to be getting a start on guy blogs. the one about the best and worst vehicle you ever had.

Then the idea morphed into the ugliest vehicles purposely designed to look that way.

The first on the list would have to be the 1997-2006 F-150 body style- Gawd what a butt-ugly truck , unless you're a girl-or metrosexual that like those swoopy soft feminine lines.

Next was the Hummer, in all it's 'compensational' glory. I know they're (well the H1) supposed to be the civilian version of the *real* thing, and the modern day equivalent to the CJ series. OK, I'll give you that for the H1- BUT -the H2 and H3 gimme a break!
All you're paying that money for is a Suburban or Tahoe with a boob job.
Get real. Especially you H3 owners, nothing says gay wannabe more than a cut-rate badly designed knock-off of a military vehicle. With all the flash and pretty things added to make it look *tuff*, even though everyone knows the only time it's going off the road intentionally is when it gets washed on the lawn.
And tell me, you couldn't afford an H1 OR H2; and looked at a full length mirror and still had your 'problem', why did you have to add a 12" lift to it?
Dude! It's bad enough that you had to get the H3, but to get a cheap, backyard lift done by the local high school kids.....that's too much!

OHHhh, and when they bolted the axles back on, they didn't get them true. I don't know if you noticed when you're going down the road (since your too busy on the cell phone) that you're crabbing down the road about 3" off.
But Light needs to do a "Real Men of Genius" ad about you.

Where was I? Oh yeah ugly vehicles...
The newest Fords don't do a whole lot for me either- guess I won't be buying any Fords made after the 1995 body style.

How about an entire decade of ugly vehicles? I give you the 80's. Not only were they ugly on the outside, but they ran like cr@p, too. Except for the Ford trucks, THAT was a good truck (well unless you count the body rusting from the inside out).

How about the AMC Pacer? Remember that fishbowl?

The '56 GMC pick-up wasn't a real winner either; and speaking of GMC, when did they decide to make it the luxury version of the Chevy? Have you compared prices? Daym, and they're the ugly cousin too boot.

I seem to remember more, but can't seem to get the right make to bring up in my searches, so this'll have to do for now.

Remember, if you need to compensate for something, get a cut rate H3 and have the local H.S. kid do a bad lift job so you can be "manly".
