    @pruwybn As I explained when I quoted this, our trucks genuinely weren’t always massive like this, neither were our cars in general. I’m using this example because it’s just on my brain right now, but a stock S10 from any year they were made in the US, is going to be significantly smaller than a stock Colorado you can pick up off the lot right now.

    Don’t be stupid and subsidize the shit out of monster trucks and you’ll continue not having them.

      but in the situation that you do, make sure that you ostracize and shame anybody who has one

        I have a close friend that drives an F150 like the one in the thumbnail. I give him relentless shit for it. The only guy I don’t give shit to is the one who uses it to tow boats on a daily basis.

        Actually we just need to ban that shit. There are multiple reasons but I’m not in the mood for reasoning. Ban it outright across the EU.
