196

I own a truck and I do not feel attacked by this.

Exactly BECAUSE it's used for hauling, I need the bed space for work, the ground clearance for personal hobbies, it's a '99 that I can keep running with recycled parts, and it's reasonably sized. I could do without the extended cab, but I didn't exactly have many options when I needed a vehicle.

Would I like to have a EVan with similar cargo space, ground clearance, and ease of maintaining/working on at home for a reasonable price? Absolutely. Unfortunately it doesn't exist yet. So I do what I can with what I have, and don't feel bad because this kind of post isn't talking about me.

It's talking about my neighbor with a spotless, lifted raptor who needs it to feel like a big strong manly man when he goes to pick up the groceries and beer, and blocks the handicap van access by parking in the stripes next to the handicap spot.
