Why would you put yourself through the sheer expense of buying and running something like an F-150 to drive two miles a day?

Bonus "I couldn't possibly walk - it's dangerous coz of all the trucks, idiot!" content too.

It looks like these numbers are self-reported, too, which means the percentage of people actually using their truck for towing or hauling has to be loving minuscule.

I’ve thought that a fun TikTok gimmick would be to interview pickup owners. Ask them how much they got under the hood or whatever. And then land on the big question: “what ya haulin?”

Just cause most people aren’t gonna have anything to say. “Oh I don’t really use it.” “Oh I just put my groceries in it.” Etc.

Those fake chrome bolt heads on the wheel are there to make them look like they're split rims, which aren't used on light trucks anymore because were notorious for exploding and killing people

Officer Involved Collision in South Lake Union Neighborhood

Jan 23, 2023 at 11:21 PM

Seattle Police responded to a collision involving a marked patrol vehicle and a pedestrian near the intersection of Dexter Avenue North and Thomas Street in the South Lake Union neighborhood.

Just after 08:00 p.m., officers arrived and located the 23-year-old female victim with life-threatening injuries. Police performed CPR while waiting for the arrival of the Seattle Fire Department.

When SFD personnel arrived, the firefighters took over life-saving measures. The female victim was later transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.

Lmao, let's get double the usage out of roads by making cars so large that smaller cars can fit beneath them. Then we can have twice the cars on the road at a time, thus finally solving traffic.

Arguably, it is also backed up just by the world that just is. Portland specifically have seem a huge size in violent crime in the last 2 years as well as constant hit and runs, but at the same time, it isn't constant bedlam but it is enough that a lot people just stay inside especially from October to April.

I would say the Cop/crime show effect also is about making an argument for more militarized police forces to "combat" that effect.

Basically, in many ways American society is slowly self-destructing while cop/crime shows feed off of that to further more policing and tigher control.

A loving tiny fine, community service, probation, and not being allowed to drive for a year... Between the hours of 11pm and 7am? For loving killing a person? That's bad vibes, nothing more.

Yeah he was fined $5k, community service, and sentenced to 1 year probabation. Oh wait, it is only a probation from driving.

Between the hours of 11pm to 7am. So he better not drive in the middle of the night or he'll be in real trouble! :bahgawd:

Bad vibes is actually the harshest punishment this BMW driver suffered.
