All these children are invisible to the driver…
Fuck all those cars!!! Put them away to hell, not to earth. They are too big for all - except for small egos. But for small egos is therapy much better.

That truck isn’t even lifted. Looks like stock.
Yeah, more like “Ban trucks that are built so high off the ground that they can’t see pedestrians.” That would easily include lifted trucks as well as general monstrosities.
I mean, it’s not like any of these motherfuckers uses these things to haul anything other than their kids and fucking groceries anyway.
Too much of a pussy to just own it and just drive a fucking minivan, which can easily carry kids and groceries. Has to buy the big dick extender instead.
Yes, no one who owns a truck uses it to move furniture, trash, dirt, mulch, or an old transmission they pulled at the auto lot. None of them go fishing or hunting, obviously, so fishing rods, camping gear and coolers won’t be necessary in the back. Also, no one who owns a truck has ever done home repair and would never carry wood or power tools in the back of, do you get how stupid your strawman is yet?

I guess self-reporting surveys must be lies then.
In other words, for the most part, these gas guzzling monstrosities are rarely used for hauling shit. Maybe they should just rent a truck when they need one?
That doesn’t invalidate trucks used for commercial or professional use, or the fact I’ll still stand on… hauling and outdoor use. It being rare doesn’t make it non-existent.
I’m sure some idiot is hauling refrigerators with a Civic, it doesn’t make them progressive.
It’s not non-existent, but it’s non-existent enough to justify most people not owning trucks and just renting them when needed.
I mean, if trucks were still like the 4-cylinder Ranger I had from the 80’s, it would make more sense. But they aren’t and it doesn’t.
Then you have to pay the rental fee. What if I own a truck… and a Civic?
Is it the ego at this point or are you really riding this train?
At this point, I think that’s projection.
Oh no! A rental fee! That must have made it so you couldn’t afford to eat. What even is this argument?
So you own more vehicles than you as an individual need? I don’t know why you think that’s supposed to go over well in a Fuck_Cars forum.
Three of the guys at my shop literally go fishing about twice a month. They own trucks. It’s possible. One drives a focus to work every day.
I noticed you danced around the owning two vehicles statement, very nice. I’m moving on with it since it’s troubling you so much.

We don’t have this kind of trucks in the Europe AT ALL and people still go fishing, do home repairs, carry heavy or large loads. This is all American lifestyle.
Excuse me in which car-free paradise do you live? While Europe might not reach American-level exuberance in car volume, we have seen a very anger-inducing increase in the number of SUVs. Every second car I saw in Germany this summer was way wider and longer than it needed to be. I want these cars regulated the fuck out of Europe rather sooner than later, but right now every arsehole happily buys one on the promise that their own kids are safe inside the moron-family-sized tank while their parent mows down other people’s children.
I fish with a Camry just fine.
I can easily do all of that and more with my non-lifted mid-sized long-bed pickup. It’s just a fact my dude; they are selling a self-image, not actual utility. Or what about a van with a roof-rack. In my professional experience that’s a lot more utilitarian if you’re a tradesman.
Again, it’s all about an image that’s been meticulously and brilliantly marketed and sold to very specific demographics.
Don’t impede the circle jerk, unless you use it everyday for work you should rent a truck every other weekend
I work in industrial construction on massive unionized projects with tradespeople coming from all over the US and Canada and I can tell you for an objective fact that the number of guys --it’s almost always guys, which should tell you something-- who drive giant lifted obnoxious trucks as their daily driver vs the number who actually really and truly need them on a regular basis is like 100 to 1.
But even if it were only 10 to 1, that means we have 10 times as many of these giant gas guzzling dangerous trucks out on the road.
The industry has done such a good job at selling these trucks as part of a self-image, that a lot of guys are incapable of admitting that the only reason they drive one is because they think it looks cool.
Or just… have a truck? Look, man. Is your problem intensified by the trucks in question being 8-cylinder gas guzzlers?
Have you ever heard of Toyota?
Carbrained: When you’re so stuck up your own ass you even lash out at people who were obviously making a joke that meant they agreed with you.
That’s it. I’ve had enough of this. I’m off to buy a truck!
They’re wonderful. I personally enjoy looking down on everyone in mine. And if I was to ever hit a line of kids in the road, I know I’m safe.
Car manufacturers have been making trucks taller and boxier because their studies show that their owners do that to their trucks after buying them so they want to be more appealing to the average pickup truck buyer… and yes that thought makes my brain hurt
Definitely stock cause it doesn’t even look leveled, and no one lifts without leveling.
Can I introduce you to the world of hack job block kits prolific in rural Canada?
