Right. Guys who drive loud, giant muscle cars or giant SUVs are never, ever insecure. In the same way that guys who go around beating up gay people are extremely confident and comfortable with their sexuality.Liquidacid23 said:
I actually don't have an eco-friendly car, but would like one because a) I actually do give a shit about the environment and b) gas is fucking expensive. I'm not sure how not investing the entirety of my manhood in the decibel level my gas-chugging engine can produce could be construed as "insecure", unless you are a crazy person.
Also, I love how in America "intellectual" is somehow a bad thing. And then we wonder why no one takes us seriously.
I live in the US, and I hate the big trucks; I think their annoying and stupid. I also hate it when people make their vehicles louder on purpose, its just obnoxious. If your actually a farmer or something that's okay, but most of these assholes drive them because their fashionably stupid.
Now now, Fox news would never mock someone driving a giant truck with truck nuts on it; that's literally 80% of their demographic.Liquidacid23 said:
Not going to bother to quote anyone on this, but drive/ride/pilot what makes you happy. Or the closest to what you'd like to have, whatever that may be. Pickups and SUVs in general are awesome for the things they were engineered to do. It just makes me sad to see so many damn vehicles like that restricted to "urban safaris". So many in my area (where I live outside of school) are purely driven in (sub)urban environments, never see dirt a day in their life, and only transport a soccer mom and occasionally one other person. Seems a waste of a great truck or SUV to only drive pavement and never tow anything. To those that use a truck as a truck, or tow something with their vehicle: respect. Keep rocking on. Also, I hope we continue to improve fuel economy across the board with all vehicle while improving power and torque so it's cheaper to do what you need to do and punish the working vehicles less at the pump.
Then why do you hang out on discussion forums?BOOM headshot65 said:
On Topic:
Apart from them being massive and obnoxious, as well as a hazard the the environment.
Unless you're using them for their original purpose, to move things. Which is not why 80% of the insane number of people have them though.
Ah yes, the whole "small car is eaten by big truck" argument. Dont get me wrong, I will admit that there is something to be said that if most things become smaller then other drivers will be safer. But I still wouldnt want to drive a small car. Why?OneCatch said:
And those are vehicles you cant exactly get rid of. At least with pickups and SUVs I stand SOME chance in an accident with them....Unlike that Chevy Sonic in my Captcha.
