    My first thought was
    “Who gets out of this car and thinks ‘yeah, that’ll be fine’?”
    But then I realized this is a person that saw this monstrosity of a “car” and thought to themselves
    “Yeah, this is fine, I want that.”

    An impressive respectful fine of up to €1K is highly appreciated in these disrespectful situations with total disregard for the public transportation.

    Had no idea how truly huge some of these pickups are now days until I started loading them at Lowe’s. Plenty of reasons to need a powerful truck in America, particularly for contractors and the like, but fuck me.

    My 2004 F150 is tiny compared to these monsters and I can do whatever. Hell, I towed a 20" boat with my Eclipse convertible, I think a normal pickup can tow about whatever. My next vehicle will almost surely be a small pickup.

      Nah, even for contracters there are far more practical options like the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter style vehicles. The current Ford F-150, Dodge RAM, Cybertruck and so on are just impractical and a safety hazard to everyone else. You literally can’t see children in the driveway ahead of you. And most people who drive them aren’t even contractors.
