I have a F150 I use as a farm truck, and an old samurai. (The little 4x4, not the feudal warrior) The samurai is lifted and has larger tires on it, and the hood is still still only about waist-high. Much lower than the F150's hood which is almost chest high. (Im 6ft tall, that's ~183cm)

The F150 is honestly not very useful for hauling, because the sides of the bed are armpit high. Heavy things must be lifted a few feet to get up on the tailgate when its open. Most of the time anymore I use the samurai to pick up things like animal feed or fertilizer or other heavy bags of stuff, because it won't get stuck in the yard like the truck will, and its just more fun to drive, all 65 horsepower of it.

But the f150 is much more gender affirming to cismasc people, you misandrist cisphpbic piece of shit.

The best way to kill a person and get away with it in the US is to hit that person with a SUV when they are walking. A jury of lifted truck owners will return a not-guilty verdict. Even better if the target is on a bicycle, you’ll get a pat on the back by the judge.

Or worse, motorcycle!

-seethes with rage at the very notion of vehicles with less than four wheels-

Not being able to see someone walking in front of you is a god given right.

Doubly so if they're a toddler.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to protest at an abortion clinic because killing children is immoral when a woman does it.

Whoever wrote this headline has a poor grasp on both mathematics and the English language.

I wanna vomit especially when I see carolina squatted pick up trucks or really any pick up truck that isn't actually used for their original purpose.

[–] Ageroth@reddthat.com 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Pavement princess is my favored term for trucks that clearly have had work done but do no work.

Carolina squat is a whole other thing.

You lift the front of your truck but keep the back low so you are permanently tilted back and you can't see shit over the massive hood.

Wtf, why‽

No more inexpensive cars for the masses. No one is building a sub-compact or a sedan anymore. Now I have 300 "options" I don't even want on a vehicle and no way to get out of paying for them. Driving is becoming more of an upper-class activity nowadays and we all know how size matters to that crowd.
