Not Just Crossing The Line, Running It Over

navistar.jpgI wish this was an April Fool’s post, but it’s not. CNN Money reports on the CXT, which is basically an attempt to turn a commercial dump truck into a 6MPG diesel grocery getter.

“It’s not going to fit into the standard garage,” said Mark Oberle, a spokesman for Navistar, based in Warrenville, Ill., outside Chicago. “We can see it as a vehicle for business people who want to make a distinct impression. For personal use, it’s for people who want to make a statement.”

If I ever see one of these at the mall or the grocery store, and it doesn’t have the logo of a construction company on it, I’ll be very tempted to make a statement myself, involving flat tires.

I'm going to close the comments and delete what's been posted. Discussion is headed downhill, abetted by my comments which were a little caustic. For those, I apologize.

paket has opened the door to a debate that I desperately want to have, but this isn't the venue for it.
