Yeah around here the little 90s car would look even more out of place since most people are driving lifted pickups that they are too out of shape to even lift anything into to haul. Guess what country I live in! :D

Here just aren't any smaller cars to purchase anymore, there are a few french ones but thats basically it. Like please make decent sized cars that drive electric.

When I was a kid, me and some buddies went to a monster truck show. We all were desperate to drive one someday.
Well, I guess that day has come for most of us but me. I hate them now.

I have a company car that I drive privately too. It's more of a lifted station than an SUV need the space for the kids.

It's just weird to me how people that don't need all of that actually buy huge cars. As soon as I am able I'll go back to small and low. Range rovers per example are just crazy, and everyone where I come from drives one.

As a full time walker and bicyclist, what I have learned is that virtually no one is up to the responsibilities of operating a car or truck. Humans do not deserve to drive, and the sheer volume of traffic accident deaths every year is a reminder of that (let alone the far greater volume of traffic related animal deaths).

It is so hard to tell how big those american cars are, because all the other cars around them are huge too, so everything is in proportion.

This really puts in perspective though. Seriously WTF

I don't understand what American cars have to do with this photo. The only American vehicle in that UK parking lot is the white Tesla in the background to the right.

I used to drive an early 90s Nissan Sentra. Great small car. Recently had a rental for a few days that's was a new Nissan Sentra. The new one is absolutely huge compared the old car.

I used to own a tiny little turbo Sprint (roughly 1600lbs), absolutely loved that car... reliable, amazing on fuel, fit virtually anywhere, but it felt so dangerous driving around when everything else on the road was at minimum two to three times its size.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

I prefer the Previa.
