5F10 Canyonero
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey
The Federal Highway comission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.
Canyonero!
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)
She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!
Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)
Drive Canyonero!
Woah Canyonero!
Woah!

This lovely revisitation of the Canyonero episode of the Simpsons is owed to the first emergence of $4.00 a gallon gas in the puget sound area. Coinciding nicely, Honda is in the news with its newly announced aim of affordable hybrids with only a $2,000 premium over a non-hybrid model of the same car.
Meanwhile, back in the United States of Slow Adaptation, Ford cuts its forecasts of potential profit in 2009 mostly because they can't seem to make a decent vehicle that isn't a truck. Plus, their core consumer market of contractors and construction workers who feel a desire for small penis compenstion via huge tires are feeling a bit of a pinch in the back pocket with rising fuel costs and a falling construction market.
Simultaneously, consumers who are trying to trade in their Canyoneros of all shapes and sizes are being offered pennies on the dollar for their costly to operate rides.
This brings is to the question/statement/Jerry Springer moment of the day - what shall we do with all of these SUVs? I believe that all of the excess trucks that were merely status symbols will be readily absorbed by small business owners, farmers, etc who actually have uses that justify the high operating costs, but what about the Tahoes, Lexus SUV's and others that have no practical purpose a minivan can't emulate? What to do with all this sheetmetal?
