Jon Lieber Has A Big Ass Truck

Lemme Apologize to Jon Lieber

MY NEW HERO #63: Jon Lieber

Lieber rumbled into spring training yesterday in his 2-week-old Ford F650 SuperTruck, a customized blue-and-black beast, 9 feet, 2 inches tall and 25,000 pounds, with six doors, 45-inch wheels, seating for seven, a satellite dish and customized leather interior. It cost him $211,000, more than twice the $94,000 base price. But when you throw in, say, $22,000 for the two extra doors - actually, an extra half of a cab - it adds up fast…. Four 50-gallon diesel tanks cost $500 to fill, though, at a thrifty 12 miles per gallon coming from a 300-hp Caterpillar engine, Lieber only used a quarter of a tank driving here from his home in Mobile, Ala.

Yes, I know that this sick, twisted desire runs COMPLETELY counter to everything a good environmentally-conscious Liberal should want. Even so, I. WANT. IT. Of course, parking it would be a bear, but for a mere $211,000, who freakin’ cares??

I realize that this probably makes me a horrible person, but I’d park this bad boy in my driveway…any day of the week. Maybe if I could get my hands on some of Willie Nelson’s biodiesel, y’all wouldn’t think of me as shallow…like that’s going to stop me from getting one of these.

Just as soon as grand larceny is decriminalized….
