    Gotta have more real estate for factory lights… Starting to see trucks with eight lights on the front going down down the road.

    The ironic part is that the high beams usually disable all the aux lights, so if you see a newer truck with only two lights, it’s probably got the high beams on, and if they turn it back to low beams to be “courteous”, it turns on all the others and ends up being worse than if they’d just left the fucking high beams on.

    I don’t really give a shit about the penile compensation aspect of “muh bigguh truck”, but fuck your wall of lights…

      Man, I drive a truck, 500 a month, will be paid off in less than 2 years, I get a lot of utility out of it and I got it from my brother who put some nice tires on it

      But I also hate it because it’s so fuckin big, and I hate that people might think I’m a truck freak, but it’s just my only good option right now

        I got a little jeep renegade that runs me like 350 a month…

        First time I put gas in it and realized it had a 12 gallon tank, I was all like “OMG, why?!?”. Then I drove 300 miles before the light came on and It made perfect sense :)

        Full tank doesn’t even get halfway to the $100 mark where you gotta reset the pump to fill it the rest of the way, ya know?

        500 a month could treat you a lot better at the gas pump.

          My girlfriend got a jeep renegade and I feel like it has so many more blind spots then other cars. That being said it does not have blind spot sensors on the side mirrors either since it’s older.

        I feel you. We need a truck for occasional use, so we got a high mileage retired work truck for really cheap. It’s bare bones with manual windows and no power locks but it has dual rear tires and a flatbed, so it’s perfect for when we or a neighbor needs to haul big shit. Unfortunately, so many people now assume I’m a dick size compensating fascist on the rare occasions I drive it. My wife and I are thinking of getting the cab wrapped in a rainbow with a big purple, glittery unicorn right across the hood.
