only person in the city of Chicago who knew what they were talking about. 
The rest of the city might have been wondering how it's possible to drive a
heavy-duty adolescent around town...) <<
 
Really? Over here a ute (and I'm happy to say that, like the rotary clothes
hoist, we invented them (: ) is a vehicle with a car for the front half and
a truck for the back half. Kind of a mini-truck if you're like. And don't
tell me that they're going to become the latest trendy American vehicle ...
oh God that's a screamer ...

p.s. What's that about the adolescents???
