In videos, when I see some Americans exit their trucks I often gotta take a second.."is that hooman that small or is that truck that huge" :blobderpy: Mostly I decide it's both :blobcatgiggle: (It looks really uh.. derpy, those mega huge trucks :bloblaugh: )

@stux I used to live in East-L.A. for 2 years... my favorite was one of these Monster trucks with a little ladder and 5 foot 2 guys climbing down.

@stux The American mindset is a combination of "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it" and "holy shit that looks cool I want one"giant lifted pickups filling both criteria

@stux a lot of truckers get unnecessarily large trucks cuz FREEDOM. Also to usually compensate for something. They are assholes 100% of the time.

@stux no smartphones with cameras back in 2006 otherwise this would have turned into one of the first viral Youtube videos :)

@stux It's so obnoxious to be tailgated by those guys... I'm in my relatively normal sized (by American standards) hatchback mom car, and these bozos just rev up behind me like they're at a monster truck rally.

@stux When I see these trucks I see just think of this…“Tell me you have adequacy issues without telling me you have adequacy issues”

@stux it's the same over in large parts of Alberta here in Canada, and some parts of here in BC. All depends on the community and the group a person's from. Not just men, but some women, too.

@stux I own trucks, I understand having a truck for actual work.What I don't get is the desire for giant lifted trucks with huge tires and no visibility. And then they drive them to stores and restaurants and never use them for any sort of rough work!

@stux I love the German word “Strassenpanzer” (street tank). An actual M1 Abrams would apparently be safer for pedestrians and cyclists ;-)
