That's nothing compared to some of the sexist and perverted pedo poo poo in lyrics from those days tbh I was listening to Kiss the other day, "Christeen Sixteen" came on and all i could think about was how unacceptable that would be if it came out today.

I love lovely cars unironically, and because of that, the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is held in high esteem. I just left the grocery store and there was one parked right next to me! I think that's only the second I've seen in the wild. I had to go to Petsmart to pick up dog food after the grocery trip. Not 5 minutes later I saw a SECOND one. It was a terrible car stuff Christmas miracle!

Mister Facetious posted:Been trying to get a shot of this SUV for years, finally spotted it at a local plaza last summer: Of all the terribleness on that, what stands out to me is that someone installed a Class II hitch on a freaking Expedition, *then* slapped a 1" to 2" adapter in there. I get why my Outback only has a Class II, but why are they even *made* for a full-sized SUV? Just start with the Class III/IV.

Not saying you are wrong, but it could be like me and my stupid fat 20in wheels that have no business being in my car, I just like the look of it as is. I have flung that loving thing around any and all corners I can with great speed and barely a chirp, so I guess they are useful.

they are bullies and like being a dick on the road and trucks enable more dickish behaviors, like
These behaviors and the feature set of most trucks are in perfect confluence. This has never been proven wrong.

Wasabi the J posted:they are bullies and like being a dick on the road and trucks enable more dickish behaviors, like Drive in Houston: When there is a traffic jam on a freeway that has a grass divider separating the freeway from a feeder, you're bound to see a flock of trucks drive off the freeway, through the grass, and clog up another few lanes of traffic. It's always fun to see a few sedans get stuck or scrape something on a curb while trying to follow.

I have a stupid hope that something will be done to curb trucks getting so needlessly big, but I know better than that. I can only hope that dipshits won't be able to afford their payments for now.

The funny thing about that truck photo is the GX is not a small vehicle, and very capable offroad with minimal modifications, although I don't think that truck is going anywhere offroad

The 2004 generation Silverado that's in the foreground of that picture was the last GM pickup design that I liked the looks of. After that it was all bulges and creases and wheelwells you can fit your head into.

At least that acts as ballast in the snow. Still an asocial jackass. edit: Fornax Disaster posted:The 2004 generation Silverado that's in the foreground of that picture was the last GM pickup design that I liked the looks of. After that it was all bulges and creases and wheelwells you can fit your head into.  And I didn't really like them when they came out. To be fair, I didn't like the '88s when they came out, either. Now they feel kinda classic.

My wife works for a big commercial roofing company and all the owners and salesmen drive brand new fully loaded trucks like that even tho none of them need a truck, but to show up at a job site in anything but a truck makes them feel less than a man apparently. I imagine the same goes for a lot of these guys buying trucks that don't really need them.
