Just bringing back this ancient thread because this same mailman was back at it again
.
This time it was directed at my mom.
Mailman: How do you like your Avalanche (hoping it was just my dad that like it)
Mom: We love it
Mailman: You know, that truck is awfully big.
Mom: Yeah, well, sometimes it's not big enough
. It gets a lot of use and sometimes we need every inch.
Mailman: Well, what about that cladding - I still haven't gotten use to it. I heard they were coming out with an optional naked Av in '04 (he's just a little behind the times isn't he)
Mom: I love the cladding. It keeps away the dings.
Mailman: Yeah, I have a Durango and it has painted cladding that gets a lot of chips in it but at least it's painted.
(Then he left - mom left rolling her eyes
)
What gets me is
if he has a Durango, why does he poke fun at the Avalanche for its size?? ? Afterall, Durangos get the fuel economy of a 3/4 ton Avalanche and it is so much smaller.
He has no right doing that especially when his vehicle costs more to run than an Av.
Must be pure jealousy
. Oh yeah, I sure am glad my mom stood up for the Av
. I told her and my dad if he ever brings up mpg to remind him the Av's mpg is far better than his Durango's.
