remembering this awesome information about trucks and truck owners

quote:

According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’ętre—once a year or less.

Meanwhile I'm loading my sedan down with straw bales, loose mulch, and loose compost multiple times a year. I have to line the trunk with a tarp and shovel it out when I get home.

i live in texas and have bad news for you: new parking lots are absolutely accounting for gigantic vehicles by becoming even bigger. i drive a little car so it makes parking very easy for me at least lol
A couple assault vehicles are going to park on either side of you, completely obscuring your car from the traffic lane, and then another will ram you as they rush into the seemingly empty spot.

they like going over the curb. it's why they bought the truck -- to crush everything like a tank. but really they also probably weren't able to navigate that bog standard drive-through curve because their truck is too big for their driving skills

people in oversized SUVs and trucks will wave me through stops sometimes because they know they can't make a turn without coming into my lane

i absolutely loathe this type of truck, look how loving wide it is lmao

A van driver nearly ran over a girl crossing the street next to me this morning. She started crossing when there were no cars in sight, he came around a corner too fast, gunned it, and laid on the horn as he barely missed her. Pretty hosed up!

There will absolutely be jail time for Ruggs. A minimum of 2 years and likely much more than that.

Nevada laws don’t allow probation for a DUI that results in a death or a DUI that results in an injury (he’s being charged with both) I think mandatory minimum is 2 years

Are you proud of me?

Are you proud of what I do?

I'll try to be a better man than the one that you knew.
i recently got a bike after not being able to afford one or have a place to keep it for like 5 years

it's really nice to be riding again, but holy poo poo, oakland's streets are so completely hosed

i used to drive for work, and a former coworker of mine would joke with me that the streets are "booby trapped" because they're so confusing and randomly hosed up

on a bike, tho, i'm randomly having to jump over potholes and leftover rail tracks

if i'm not paying attention i could 86 a wheel real loving quick

broken glass and random trash loving everywhere

whatever, it's fun for me in a weird way even though it's totally hosed. hail satan! :yeeclaw:




also RIP it's pretty gut wrenching to think that lady and dog are dead, what a loving catastrophe because dude wanted to go fast or whatever
