You’ve just proved my point with your sales data. YTD, the GMT900 is only 17K units behind the F-150.

Way to shoot yourself in your own foot!

Nobody is getting worked up by the difference in sales figures, and sponsorship at monster truck events will not tip the balance one way or another.

Sadly, for your, nobody in Detroit cares about it the tiny difference in annual truck sales figures when they are that close; certainly not as much of those with over-inflated, baseless opinions who frequent monster truck events may think.

As much as someone who attends those events may like to belive their opinions are valid or important, they have yet to realize that in order for them to even be taken seriously in ANY matter of importance, they need to wear a white collar, and not a blue one.

Thus, you won’t find them at monster truck events, where nothing can be improved upon, and where its paleo-conservative ‘family values’ prevent it from ever being mainsteam without influence from major advertisers. Monster trucks are just a tired and outdatted entertainment format from 30 years ago, and a heyday that only be remember in conjunction with glam rock.

If the “monster truck scene” is unwilling to modernize through effective advertising (yes, alcohol and tabbaco), while crying like children when none of the D3 give them any attention, then I’ll be only too pleased to sit back and watch other legitimate forms of motorsports (including worthless drifting events) while what remains of monster trucks slit their own throats.

That’s right, drifting. It’s not even a form of racing, but even it is self-funding and gets people to part with their money, and I bet I even you know just how popular drifting is versus monster truck events.

This is your problem:

You’re trying to suckhold the D3 into giving your dying form of entertainment money because you don’t have the balls to ask Bacardi or Marlboro for it.

To that, I say TFB. Monster trucks need to get with the times or die.

With that, Grave Diggger could be a metaphor for the fate of monster trucks as a whole.
