I drive the White car… Parked it in the lot for work, came out to this fuck off Nissan, next to me, Lined up parallel with my car, so i snapped a couple of pictures to show you how obnoxious Trucks have gotten, as if you didn’t already know.
It’s hard to argue when a monolith on wheels is in front of your face. :/
That’s funny because I think commuter cars could maybe be replaced, but not trucks. How else do you haul supplies and materials for craft, industry, and agriculture? There’s sadly no viable alternative.
If commuter cars can be replaced then so can commuter trucks.
Commuting in a truck is a bit mental. Who has the gas money for that?
Many Texans.
Commuting in a large vehicle is a status symbol in many subcultures within the US.
Also gas is too cheap
Both cars and trucks need to exist for some cases, like you need cars to get around in rural areas and farmers need trucks to move around and haul shit. The problem is using either where they don’t fit. You shouldn’t need a car to get around a big city and you certainly shouldn’t be using a truck to do so.
As a tradesman for over a decade, I much prefer working out of a van. They are a bit more effecient on average. They haul stuff really well and larger ones can even be used as a small workshop/well organized storage. Their decks are lower and easier to load and they accomadate large cargo without the need for tarps to water proof. Strapping stuff down is easy too as the walls can help. Many vans these days can be bought from the dealer ready to tow. For bigger jobs cube vans/trucks are also an excellent option.
Technically true, but I meant, like, there’s no alternative to a motor vehicle. As for van vs truck vs car, I’m just saying it seems easier to replace a commuter vehicle with alternative transport than it is to replace a hauling vehicle with alternative transport.
