Sarge, any blowhard at a bar can do that.

If he is the serious proponent he claims to be, he could provide more substance.

For instance, anybody can say they like Ford or Chevy. (I like and have owned both.)

Somebody trying to seriously sway a buyer would provide more practical details - such as tow rating, drive train options, cab configuration options, safety equipment, equipment package options, purchase cost, rebates and incentives, long-term ownership cost averages...

Whereas the guy who just thinks one is cool because it's Dale Jr's brand is only going to sway a certain subset.

I suspect jmortimer could actually provide such detail, but he has not. If he really wants to attract new members, he needs to do that.
