Stop buying suvs and trucks. Buy compacts and small sedans. As those markets erode it just makes everything worse.

I'm a multi tradesman and I run about in a 1.2L Korean shitbox with a trailer when I need it

Same tradesman in the US apparently needs a 6L V12 pick-up simply because of his micropenis? Yeah thanks for the pollution Brad/Chad/Tad whatever

Don't look up "rolling coal".

Really wish I had those EMP things from 2F2F to use on those useless coal rolling fuckheads.

Your state most likely has a phone number you can call to report it. I have the contact saved in my phone. I see it, I call it in and read the license plate off.

It's NJ. They don't care. I recog used one of the trucks as a cop in my town, and red lights are fuckign optional since covid.

It's the most Republican thing you can do with a car, except maybe driving into protesters.

He isn't a tradesman. He is either an office worker or unskilled labor.

The only practical use I have ever seen in my life for those oversized pickups is in South East Asia I rode on one that had been converted into van to go up and down this shit road into the mountains. Moving people. So unless you make a living loading up 8 people at a time to bring them up a terrifying grade mountainside you don't need a vehicle like that.

Well, some truck drivers carry their empty beer and malt cans, rolling about on the bed of their trucks…

And random leafs because cleaning is too much effort. In an apartment complex I used to live in my neighbor started blocking my spot with his extra long pickup. He needed it as a semi-retired accountant who lives in an apartment.

LOL I adore how you got 12 downvotes for that comment. I have similarly been downvoted for saying that I prefer standard over automatic. People really do get their panties in a twist when someone talks cars.

Can we not with the body shaming?

I'm pretty sure the actual penis size doesn't factor here. It's the self-perceived size.

Dude has an inferiority complex & tries to compensate.

The guy they're talking about isn't the problem. How do you think men with small penises feel about being used an an insult all the time? Do you really think they deserve to have an inferiority complex?

Can we not with the humor shaming?

Can we not with the global warming and killing pedestrians? And yeah it is bloody obvious exactly why a guy would have a truck like that. Micropenis I am sorry the truth hurts.

You might think your perceived moral superiority makes the world better, but it makes it worse, I promise
