Americans just love being the biggest on the road. Bigger is better in their minds. Maybe we put an extra tax on very large vehicles.

We need to require special licenses for those behemoths.

I'd prefer they get banned entirely because there's really no practical use for them that isn't solved by some other commercial vehicle.

i've thought about that for high performance vehicles, but probably more important for very large vehicles. like a B/C license.

It's not only Americans though. French car makers also sell big SUVs to everyone because it's very important to have the biggest car ever when you bring back a small bag of groceries, or when you desperately need to be on top of the world in the traffic jams. I see those morons every day and it saddens me.

damn, i would have expected the french to have better taste in their vehicles

The other day an edible and an aliexpress misadventure really got me wondering “Why shouldn’t I have an electric cargo trike”?

It’s the biggest tricycle I can find!

I'd love to see a comeback of vehicles like 1980s Toyota and Mazda pickups. Just a bit taller than sedans, good sized bed. I never understood the popularity of trucks that almost need a mini ladder to get into when they're being used strictly in an urban or suburban setting.

Yeah it’s just people trying to show how big their penis is with a car
