re: How are you frickers affording 70k+ Ford Expeditions and Chevy Tahoes?

Your small car/SUV types tend to also be cyclists, runners, and pedestrians in an urban environment who are more aware and cognizant of the dangers of large vehicles.

If they're more cognizant, then maybe they should get the frick out of the way.

To continue on with my broad generalizations ITT, your large truck owners by and large have disdain for and go out of their way to antagonize cyclists

And you are displaying why truck owners don't like people like you.


You want everyone else to live life as you dictate.

frick off.

A truck isn't worth 40k,

Who says? How much should a truck be worth?

Please link me where I advocated for banning trucks or dictating how everyone should live.

All vehicles, including large trucks, should be banned from urban, pedestrian-heavy areas. That's an urban planning issue of banning trucks from certain spaces and not an outright ban.

It's hilarious how triggered and defensive the giant truck bros get when you point out that a lot of them only have said giant trucks to look cool and don't use them for truck purposes.

Of course. There are many reasons why a truck is useful. These two clowns are just trying to be contrarian.

I don't really give a shite what anyone drives, drive a truck if you like what they look like for all I care. But the last time I owned a truck was in my early 20's and I never used it for it's "purpose" (this was while I was in college). It would be nice for me to have a truck maybe a handful of times over the past 7 years that I've owned a home, but really I can use a utility trailer for pretty much anything that I'd need a truck for. And if I really needed a truck for some reason I could rent one cheap as shite. Again, I don't care if people want to drive trucks, but I don't think they are as "necessary" as a lot of folks claim they are.

As Epic Cajun said better than I have so far. Most truck owners lie to themselves about why they bought a truck and overestimate their usage of said truck to do truck things. Chill out, baws.

What? I'm a huge national park supporter and have visited many and plan to see all the US Parks.

I guarantee I spend more time outdoors than you do.

You must be quite the DIY handyman.

I've never once looked at a guy in truck and wondered how big his pecker is

Me either, I usually assume it's small, not big

quote:

Sure. I'm just providing a counterpoint and showing that there is research indicating that massive trucks are killing people and that pedestrian and cycling deaths are on the rise.

So yes the unnecessarily large trucks are harmful to the community.

The stuff I own that I don't need don't harm others in the same way that the bro-dozers do.

Stay mad and fat.

That's your second personal attack. Not sure why. I think you made a poor argument; I don't have anything against you personally and haven't leveled any personal barbs your way.

I'm not the problem. I've been driving the same truck (F-150 Crew Cab) for 10 years. It has been very useful and reliable in that time. There's something to be said for having what I need when I need it without relying on others, and i've neither damaged personal property nor injured, maimed, or killed a pedestrian or a cyclist while driving it.

To date, none of the things I own that I don't really need harm others at all.

Live long and prosper.

I miss the old days when, if people didn't have the money they wanted, they just worked harder. Now, they just cry online.

You are either lazy or too stupid to make more money. Congratulations.
