Had a read, would toss it in the “boats at night” pile. There was a geneal misread of the intended vibe of one another. Everyone came in with their genuine hats but left with something off-brand.

The original post is more of a commentary on the fact that old trucks have value just in being old trucks. Beyond the vintage stuff that all vehicles have there are certain trucks that are reliable easy to fix, easy to get parts for and not 4 wheeled tanks; valuable to someone who actually uses a truck as a daily worker. It’s a thing that is mostly unique to trucks because of their value as a work vehicle. (Sprinter type vans also have a similar type thing now because of the vanlife™ community)

So, if your in the know the comment reads a lot like a conversation about those 40yo washing machines that never die that people talk about. Like, no one is saying a 40yo washer is better but also why are they better? Kinda thing

Your comment seems genuine but feels like you misread that whole meta conversation that was happening. Then instead of them looping you in and saying, “Yo, I’m only being half serious” they instead came with “old trucks hold their value way more then you think, also stop being so serious” which is a little unclear vibe-wise.

So there’s a bit of back and forth where you guys are just not really clicking and then you hit em with the: “I’m not sure if you’re illiterate, struggle with reading comprehension, or are just plain stupid, tbh” but I assume you were done at that point 🤷

All the same words but from me

And this is a sort of intellectualized version, but then real life, so you need to add in that you may just happen to be acting contrary because you need to eat or got a shit sleep or you’re taking to Steve and fuck that guy and then it’s even harder to parse.

Wish there was just a print-out sometimes; something that I could check my answers against, see if I’m even on the right track
