No professional contractor worth his name is going to be seen at a job site in a prissy truck like the Turdra any more than they're going to be buying their lumber on a Saturday morning at Home Depot. These are suburbanite pseudo-trucks driven by white-collar types who are probably there to get some Behr paint or a Black & Decker drill, something else the pro's wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. Jeez man, what planet are you from anyway?
