    Rated at 6k? I hope your joking. My 3/4 ton dodge is rated at 10k just to be on the road.

    You mind does become conditioned to driving. That's why i chuckle when new comers want 4000 miles a week, etc.

    It's an acquired skill. And that skill level most certainly varies.

    It's like young guys wanting to get married because they think they'll have regular sex. As soon as the honeymoon is over, they realize that they would have had more sex staying single and dating different women.

    Third best advice given by my Dad.

    "Son. If you marry that girl, you marry her family. "

    Talk about a "Let's take a step back and think this over more carefully " moment.

    That's why women are smiling while they walk down the isle. They know they'll never have to give another bj again.

    They get spoiled for sure. My Chihuahuas demand a treat, now, even at home, every time they poop. What a life!! I don’t get a treat!

    My Dad gave Me the same warning. My wife’s the youngest of 10. A few of them seemed to just hate Me, Now in my wisdom, I know they were only jealous of my good looks and great sense of humor. Lol. Time reveals all. After 39 yrs. a few still try to play their little mind games. It’s pathetic. I’ve always went along, as part of the deal. My wife finally had enough. No more family functions. Her choice. I totally agree. We’ve both tolerated a lot, my family’s crazy too. That’s just how it is, but at this point in my life, I’m not wasting my time with BS. Enough is enough.
