Driving a Freight Truck Has Its Perks

Just got back from lunch... but not a normal lunch where you get to sit down and chat with people and eat a nice satisfying meal. Rather, a lunch that consists of taking your car to the shop for a $25 oil change, and leaving with a $225 bill because in addition to oil, you also need 2 new tires. My isn't that nice... The annoying thing is that my car and its tires only have 16,000 miles on them.

Now I know how P. Diddy feels in that Super Bowl commercial. While I may not be broken down desert-style on my way to a glamorous awards show, trading in my car for a nice Diet Pepsi truck may be the answer. Think of the money I would save, not having to drive to a grocery store and buy diet soft drinks - I could just open the trunk instead. He definitely got the better deal in this case. Though I hear his bank account is better suited for the oil changes of freight trucks.

Although I will say, it's nice to see that we can move past the feminine stereotype surrounding diet drinks. A big time male rap exec becoming a face of diet soft drinks? I think it works. While I'm sure there are guys out there still under the impression that drinking anything with the word "diet" on it is done only by the fairer sex, it's not exactly the case anymore. I work with a few guys who only drink Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi... both of which are perfectly normal guys. I bet they like having their calorie consciousness validated by one of the wealthiest music moguls of our time. Now if only P. Diddy would contribute to our diet-drinking cause financially... hmmm.

Be safe while driving out there. I hear there are Diet Pepsi trucks everywhere.
