I'm really excited to save five dollars a year on eggs and lose $5400 a year on everything else. Omelletes have never tasted so sweet.

What is the bloody point of such a truck
Dick replacement. When you can’t see yours anymore, gotta get an external one.
Cars first use is as a fashion accessory, akin of a watch. People don't buy cars for objective reasons, but to project the image they want.
I buy my cars solely as transport. I usually buy the cheapest thing I can find that has the amenities I want (AC, Bluetooth, heated seats) with the best gas mileage I can get. Typically ends up being a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
I don't give a shit about cars. I'd rather spend that money on home improvements and my family.
You think your decision is a rational one, but Garfield disagree.
When you run over a child, there won't be blood stains on the hood.
Counterbalancing deficits in either the mental or procreative department. Maybe even both.
It's a fashion statement, conspicuous consumption (owner has money to throw around), a political leaning/association, and an assertion of the owner's masculinity. To be clear, this behavior gets all my hate, not only because all of these things are encouraged by our economy and advertising, but are also directly supporting a lot of toxic traits and behavior.
"It's cool" or something idk. I used to work with a guy at a desk job who had a truck like that and he was the biggest douchebag I've ever met.
My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.
Big car make big noise!
So does small exhaust, if you know what I mean 😀
Given the brand of truck I’d also wager “how much my insurance costs after all these DUIs”
Four of those tires and rims would buy my house
It's a meme and funny cuz true
But it is also important to remember that not all trump voters look like this. His reach is so much more insidious
I think the problem is the roads. They’re just too damn wide. Cars just grow proportionately
I love narrow roads in my ford focus. I fit just fine
Why do you see it as targeting Trump voters? I'm in Canada and we also have people driving giant SUVs in McMansions whining about gas and energy prices. It's fair and legitimate to bitch about the price of food, however it's also easy to see that the average North American car is now more like a tank, and that people whining about gas prices don't seem to be able to look into a mirror.
Yes, most of the people owning monster trucks will also vote Conservative here, or for a conservative party, I guess it's a political statement on its own. But it's also very easy to find liberals (as in neo-liberals, not "the left") with gas guzzlers bitch about gas prices.
correct, in my area it is these people, and laborers currently getting ready to lose a bunch of compensation, due to the tariffs their companies are gearing up for. This is probably the first time they have called for cuts, and, instead of just getting record profits, can demonstrate they are going to lose a whole lot of their profit margin. Then there are the far more rare people like a few of the people are here, who are disabled, in poverty, and getting ready to have life saving medicine pulled from them.
I was just saying this in another thread. It's a cult, and cults ensnare people of all walks of life, intelligent, educated people as well. The dumb redneck ones may be the drones, but there are others in there that are scarier.
But it is also important to remember that not all trump voters look like this.
It's very important that every Trump voter thinks they can look like this after hitting rocks with a bigger rock or 16 hours a day.
In fact, thinking that this is what Trump supporters look like is one reason he won. Ignoring his appeal to the working class was a fatal mistake.
All over the damn place here in Alberta, aka Canadian Texas. As if anyone needs a lifted 5,000lb truck to make it to and from their jobs here in the city. I'm sure they justify them every few years when they move a couch.
I make it a point to drive exactly at the speed limit in front of these assholes.
This is exactly what American Trash looks like. Look at all the money they wasted. And they think they 'cool'.
We desperately need a cultural shift to openly mocking anyone driving this type of pathetic vehicle.
If anyone has an appropriate slur we can repurpose for the cause, let us know.
With those trucks, the biggest concern is new tires.
I mean it's logical when you have to take out a mortgage to pay for your truck.
