Sigh
My brother said that was good, and that everyone needs a large SUV or pick up truck eventually. And that one day he’s going to buy one too.
when you're definitely a rational individual that isn't beholden to whatever marketing agencies tell you to buy
Those consumers with their poor choices :shakes-fist:
But also two questions for usa-comrades: if you drive normal-sized car, are you like small mouse in the sea of tall grass (suvs)? And is there anything stopping height arms-race, to get the tallest car possible?
Somewhat depends on the area, but I'd say most places are probably anywhere from 30-60% trucks and oversized SUVs. Just waiting for a truck weighing 4x what my small sedan does that's never had more than groceries in its bed to absolutely murder me in an accident.
Lol. I'm mostly just salty because my primary transport is by bicycle and I know one of these trucks is going to kill me some day. But no, there is literally nothing stopping the arms race except height clearance on bridges and overpasses.
I stopped riding my bike for a few years after I moved because my new place was so much more hostile to bikes. I moved to a slightly better place for bikes and man I missed it so much.
It depends on where you live. I’m in a rural area so enormous trucks are everywhere. But as we all know, the smaller the car, the bigger the dick. Those who use bikes / their own feet / wheelchairs / public transportation have the biggest dicks of all.
Since the announcement of the cybertruck, I've been saying I'm excited for the pickup truck arms race. I'm so excited to see a cyber truck and EV hummer both test their max accel on opposite sides of an intersection from a stop and collide in a 120MPH head on collision, producing a battery fire that just becomes a tourist attraction akin to the springfield tire fire.
