This is why hatches aren't the second coming some people treat them as. All the additional space you get in a hatch over a sedan is in space that affects visibility.

If you've got a mirror that can see directly behind while the rear glass is blocked, then by all means, share

Hatches look sweet. My suburban is basically a large hatchback. Guess it should be a ridgeline? F u

I have a camera and also functional mirrors but I don’t use either of them because if I want to load up the back of my vehicle and obstruct the view and then travel using my turn signals as indictors of what I’m already doing, that’s my god drat right as an American. You’re lucky I clean off a tank commander view hole before I leave in the winter, the defroster will melt it soon enough.

I owned a Dodge Caliber for a little while before my Impala, I feel like I can pack more poo poo into the trunk of Impala than I could fit in the Caliber with the seats up. Granted they are hardly even the same class of vehicle, but I love my sedan. I feel that with a hatch back the rear storage is useless unless you put the seats down which is a bad option if you have kids with car seats. Even if you don't have kids, if you need a vehicle for hauling large poo poo on a regular basis hatch back openings are usually pretty small and a small SUV or crossover would probably work a lot better.

That's not really any different from station wagons, SUVs or pickups. Either the stuff you are hauling fits below the window level, or it will obstruct the rear view. A hatch back has practically the same space as station wagon under the window level.

Lets face it, it is because hatchbacks are for the poors and you don't want to be associated with the poors do you?

You still can't see directly behind you which is useful for things like reversing or checking blind spots.

My Miata RF rental did not have a camera and it felt weird. Visibility wasn’t great even with the “top” down.

Saw a wild camper today. The back seemed to be held together with caulk, and it was painted with cartoon animals, a dolphin with a top hat, ect. Every inch of the rest of the thing was covered in crazy Bible poo poo talking about damnation and sin. Odd mix of 'I'm crazy' and 'hey kids, funny cartoons!'

I got to see my first anime car in the wild! I was driving so no pictures but I really only thought these things existed on the internet in photos, but I saw it. Newer Corolla, bright pink, painted black hood (not carbon fiber from what I could tell) and anime poo poo down the sides of it. South East Massachusetts, be on the lookout!

How am I supposed to communicate to an F250 with a topper that his bumper mounted rear facing white flood lamps are on? Followup, how is it that I see someone with a cargo lamp on at least weekly if not every few days?

Same with people with their lights off really. Had a guy on the road the other day with his lights clearly off. Newer Subaru with DRLs. Flashed my lights behind him a few times. No dice. Merge into another lane as I’m turning in a few lights anyway. The guy who was behind me, who is now behind this guy, is also flashing his lights. We end up next to each other and I look at the guy, point at the car and shrug. He shrugs, we laugh, and idiot goes on obliviously with life.

I once got pissed off enough at a brodozer with a cargo light blazing that I called dispatch non-emergency to report it, and they actually cared and didn't tell me to gently caress off. So I guess it's actually treated seriously and you're not just ranting at 911 over bullshit

Remembered yesterday exactly why there’s a motorway entrance that I normally refuse to go on due to the stupidity of other and will instead take the detour to the next entrance. The entrance is uphill and merges onto a motorway that’s going 110 km/h. Every single time there’s some fuckstick further up the queue who decides to merge at 70 so a full 40 under the speed limit. Yesterday I came close to getting pancaked by the driver further up doing 70 and a truck who decided to not slow down sufficiently being next to me when I reached the top of the ramp. I had a choice of slowing down and having the idiot behind me running up my arse or speeding up and attempting to get in front of the truck. I chose option 2 but it wasn’t a fun time to be had

Well, I got to see a pickup truck plow into a car in a similar scenario a few days ago. Uphill ramp that's blind both ways until the weave zone, which isn't very long. Car passes the end of the barriers, going about 20mph too slow to enter the highway, then blindly jumps over a lane. Truck barely had a chance to hit the brakes.

I saw an older F250 yesterday that had its regular headlights augmented with a pair of LED strips in the grill. The owner/driver was a really old dude. Wtf Gramps

Wild weather in Denver today, I drove to work in a rainstorm (15 minute commute I figured I'd roll the dice since my office didn't call it), and there's a car upside down on I-70. During the RAIN portion of today's AFTERNOON BLIZZARD BOMB CYCLONE. Driving home was awful and I was mad at persons without their lights on but really it was just so snowy and kinda bright that you couldn't see taillights that well. I am legitimately mad at the guy crawling along at 20 in the center lane though. It's fine go as slow as you feel safe, but do so in the farthest right lane please. Box trucks were passing him on the right at a whopping 35.

 Well done people! Way to know where your gas tank is!  This frustrates me, especially since I had to wait extra for BOTH of them to re position their cars closer to pull the lines across their cars
