We seem to have been invaded by them in the last 2 years or so. I don’t see why regular utes and 4wds have been fine until now, but suddenly every tradesman needs one of these.

They’re popular in Mexico as well. Ultimately they’re a US creation though.

they were a thing when I lived in Texas in the late 70s. A guy I worked with had a big yellow Ford with 5’ high tires. Everyone had pickups. I had a Datsun pickup with DOHC sounded like it would blow up at 60 but smoothed out again at 70. commutes were wild

My penis is too long, so I am not allowed to own such a car.

My car is half as big and still has the same cargo space actually.

I think you mean “Americans stay in debt”. Most of the idiots you see driving these trucks are paying half their paycheck for what is essentially a billboard advertising their small penis.

The only people impressed by your truck are children. Everyone else can tell that you are trying to compensate for your ‘inadequacies’

We are all laughing at you behind your back.

Some dude drives on of those where i live. I’ve never seen it move, it’s always parked on the same spot where it doesn’t fit. Completely with aouthern state flag and stickers that say that only gay cops pull him over and how every car that is not a v8 is for girls. I’d be so embarrassed to drive that thing.

I got more compliments from women while I was driving my 1.4L inline 4 Honda in a week than I got in 10 years with a 4.2L Ford V8.

So yeah, V8s attract men. Sensible cars are for girls.

I drive a cool, classic car most of the time.

It attracts a lot of 60 year old blokes with names like “Terry” and “Ian” every time I pull up to a stop.

I haven’t seen a girl so much as look sideways at it.

And a dodge challenger, Chevy Camaro, all of the Nissan Z series and all of the skyline series, the delorean dmc-12, most mustangs, Acura nsx, Subaru wrx sti, the list is literally hundreds of cars long.

All of these cars are definitely too much car for that dude I can guarantee it.

where i live, which is in the south, every 3 cars is one of these, they lift suvs too, so that increases the odds. when cops clock out they also drive one of these, even the gay ones. driving it is no big deal, its how they drive and what they do with it, usually road raging other road users, intimidating them, and trying to run them off the road, in other words bullying and intimidation, which is likely why they own one in the first place. why do they feel a strong desire to bully or intimidate anyone? that’s a great question. why do you have to knock out the biggest guy in jail to get any respect? …

There is a dealership here called lifted trucks(I know very straight forward. straight to the main selling point) they have more lots here than other dealerships.It is very clear the amount of lifted trucks here went up significantly. The whole city screams that I’m only doing it to get women because I’m insecure about myself. Which is the reason why I wish to move to Europe’s walkable cities or just move to a place with no one around.

driving it is no big deal

It’s impossible to safely drive a car like this. You can’t see children standing in front of you, and no matter what you’re gonna pollute. Pollution is dangerous.

Also, it probably weighs over 3500 kg, so you’ll need a C license to drive it. Fun fact, if you have one of those, you can also drive a huge lorry. Why would you choose an eyesore like that, when you could be a badass rock hauler.

Either way, around here I almost always see both end up doing stupid shit on the road. I don’t give a fuck what you’re driving. Obey the rules of the road, follow the flow of traffic, be aware of your surroundings, and for fucks sake, signal properly and clearly! Nobody’s in a race. We can all get where we’re going safely and timely if y’all just stop acting like you’re escaping a war zone!

couldn’t agree with you more… can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly been hit by another car all because they cut in front of me suddenly, not signaling, naturally, and just sped off like they’re in a race. I will see ppl going nearly 100mph in the interstate, just weaving back and forth between lanes. will never understand why ppl have to be in such a damn rush all the time. what’s the point of getting somewhere 2 minutes sooner if you hurt or possibly kill someone along the way? worst part of it is that the cops here never seem to be around to keep assholes like that in check.

Oh it’s constant here, and they all act like you’re the problem. So many fatal accidents every year, pedestrians killed, at least one fatality due to people racing. Constant hit and runs. It’s like driving in GTA.

I just took a client to the mall a couple hours ago. On our way, we watched someone honk at the person next to me/in front of them at an intersection, they then tailgated them until the other person changed lanes, threw their drink, and screamed out the window. The driver’s crime, as far as I can tell, was because they didn’t move in the millisecond between when the light turned green and the psycho behind them lost their mind.

We’re in the off season now, too. Don’t even get me started when the tourists come!

plenty of hit and runs where I’m at also, especially for pedestrians. the amount of accidents even in just a week is scary. exactly! it’s almost like driving the speed limit is the crime now. there’s ppl who will pass on a non passing road just to get ahead of me bc I’m apparently driving too slowly. just the other day I got honked at bc the left turn light had just turned green, but the person in front of me hadn’t even started turning yet. no one has a speck of patience on the road. I just want to know why lmao

ffs, seriously? that’s such an extreme response. and it’s truly so mind blowing to me that there’s ppl who view pedestrian life as secondary to getting where they need to be. I’ve seen drivers swerve past pedestrians as they’re crossing and honk at them and everything. it’s wild out here.
