"Large pickup"... I can't believe I actually find these pretty small these days. GMC et al, fuck you.

This appears to be somewhere in Europe, and by European standards that pickup is still quite large.

Yes, but I am European as well (Swedish), and up until like three years or so, I would fully agree, but the damn american trucks have become really common here the last years.

Yeah I've noticed as well.

I even saw one with what sounded like a non muffled V8 engine. It blew out my ears as I was on my bike. No way that thing is legal, probably modified to comply with sound and exhaust rules to import it and then re-modified. That dude probably thought he is so cool with his truck, whilst what everyone else was thinking was fuck you asshole, he must have the smallest dick in the world.
