People used to use trucks for hauling. Now they are $70k+ status symbols for people who need to scream, "I am insecure."
I don't get why people think an ugly looking vehicle is a status symbol. To most, it symbolizes something completely different.
"my penis is microscopic, now get out of the way"
Completely baseless assumption, but I think it's just a continuation of the phenomenon when toddlers get hyped for trucks/tractors/combine harvesters/anything that is big and loud, maybe because it's associated with power, I don't know. Some people just stay at this toddler's mentality and they see everything that's big and/or loud as something you can boast about. See also: loud exhausts, 6400 deciBel motorcycle sounds, etc.
Fair. They should just get a job with machine builders. I get paid money to play with power all day. Why hello chemical processing equipment, I see you pull 180amps at 460V. Now let's see how loud you are when I push start.
If you havent made an entire factory lights dim are you even alive?
I saw some truck commercial yesterday where the thing was eighty thousand dollars AFTER all incentives and rebates.
I thought to myself that the people who are screaming about inflation and how the Democrat president is ruining their lives are the same people who are lining up to make crazy monthly payments into a vehicle that will immediately be upside down on the note.
This may surprise you, but cars can cost much more than that price. So what’s your point?
I'm confused as to what your point is
He's been shitting over this entire thread so hard I'm concerned about burst hemorrhoids. Some weird combo of herp derp Americans bad, big vehicles good. All of it nonsensical.
Guy is saying truck can be expensive, so can cars. So what’s their point?
Mine was quite obvious, it was literally spelt out?
I legitimately had a neighbor tell me "this is a truck neighborhood." In a "joking, not joking" sort of situation.
I hope you called him an oxymoron
These trucks are also a very American thing. Rarely see that anywhere in Europe. Lots of toxic masculinity in the US
We are getting there though. SUVs are already the standard and it's getting worse. Imo SUVs are even worse in some respects. There at least are theoretical use cases for a pickup truck, a SUV is always egotistical bullshit.
I'll have you know I use my truck to get stuff from big box stores and travel with my dog and my tiny penis fits perfectly inside it thank you very much.
you could buy THREE penis enlargements for that price
