[09:42:29] <FatPhil> and I can plot different windowed rolling average inflation rates, and lots of other nerdy shit.

[15:27:44] <Sulla> Havent seen it
[15:27:52] <Sulla> Cars have too much shit in them

[15:28:31] <Sulla> My current truck has the Ford sync, so you can connect your phone with Bluetooth
[15:28:40] <Sulla> Useful for the occasional call
[15:29:10] <Sulla> Whenever my wife finally forces me to get a 250 or 350 I'm gonna just get basic am/fm with an aux
[15:30:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> I have an '04 Ranger
[15:31:19] <Sulla> Nice! I think we have talked before
[15:31:28] <AndyTheAbsurd> came with what was probably the lowest or second-lowest available radio: AM/FM, no cassette, no CD, no aux.
[15:31:42] <boru> I miss my Ranger. I sold it and my Defender and Hilux when I moved. I'm looking forward to getting a Ford pickup when I move again. That or an old Hilux, if I can find one.
[15:31:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> I've replaced it with one that does Bluetooth, aux, and USB input.
[15:32:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> Much happier with the new radio; I'm not sure that Ford Sync could add anything I'd find useful.
[15:33:18] <Sulla> Probably not
[15:33:21] <Sulla> Just backdoors
[15:33:35] <Sulla> I think that's the way to go though, get an after market one
[15:33:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's a pickup, it shouldn't have any of those.
[15:33:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> <oh_wait />
[15:34:41] <Sulla> 16 Extended cab long bed with canopy. Went with bench seats front and back, vinyl everything so I can powerwash interior
[15:34:52] <Sulla> Went as basic as possible
[15:35:26] <Sulla> I did get the basic power group thing for electric mirror adjustment, as trying to fix that on the fly when hauling a big load is a pain
[15:36:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> that's a truck that's big enough to be useful
[15:36:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> a lot of the trucks sold these days go to people that would be better off getting sedans or station wagons.
[15:36:56] <Sulla> Yeah
[15:37:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> What's the point in getting a truck if you've got seats for 6 but only a 4-foot bed?
[15:38:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> (I guess you don't have to smell the manure you're hauling back home to fertilize your garden, but that's a once-a-year thing...if you're really that concerned about the smell, rent a truck from Home Depot.)
[15:38:16] <Sulla> When we were looking to buy my truck we first were looking at used. At the chevy dealership my wife and I told them we wanted a singlecab longbed (back before kids)
[15:38:39] <Sulla> Guy hemmed and hawed about how he didn't have that, but had the "perfect truck for us"
[15:39:08] <Sulla> Brought out the six seater shortbed for, fully loaded
[15:39:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> I kinda figured he looked at you funny when you said that...then probably tried to send you over to the commercial trucks division.
[15:39:49] <Sulla> Wife asked him if it came with a helmet, because if she was gonna be on the short bus, she would need a helmet
[15:40:05] <Sulla> I wish, I would have been fine with that
[15:42:04] <Sulla> Had to custom order my supercab longbed because people hate longbed for some reason
[15:42:12] <Sulla> Pavement princesses
[15:44:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> I think it's mostly "supercab longbed" is a really long vehicle, and most people don't want to deal with that every day, so they don't bother making them until somebody actually asks for one.

[15:53:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> WTF, Ford? Why are the two extended cab options named "SuperCab" and "SuperCrew"? I'm sure that's not going to be confusing AT ALL.
[15:54:48] <pinchy> and there only 4 feet long
[15:55:00] <pinchy> trucks have basically turned into giant cars
[15:55:23] <pinchy> or jacked up el caminos
[15:55:29] <pinchy> with even shorter beds

[15:59:54] <Sulla> Supercab is slightly shorter but you can have longed and six seats
[16:00:08] <Sulla> Supercrew is limited to 6ft bed but has more space in second row
[16:01:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> so basically it comes down to are your passengers going to be your kids or your adult friends.
