I'm driving an F-150 for work this week. I can't imagine driving one of these every day. It doesn't fit in parking spaces. It doesn't fit in my garage. Can't make tight turns. A car pulled up behind me at a light and I could barely see its roof.

Just back up and drive over the other car, clearly.

You don't need to see anything when you're driving a F-150. Just floor it and let everyone else get out of your way (hopefully including buildings).

I had a truck try to reverse into me when i was on a motorcycle one time cause they changed their mind about leaving the parking lot, and they also barely heard my horn until the very last possible second. the driver was a child and was laughing about it

Yes, but conservative men are less likely to call you a "gaywad" at the gas station, so it's all worth it

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

They dropped a Target into one of the more walkable parts of Pittsburgh and the intersection in front of it has been the deadliest place to walk in the city for a decade now

5 lanes in either direction. So what…. 50-60+ ft between corners!? Insane.

They also incorporated some sort of garbage Smart Traffic Light technology there that doesn't give a hot wet gently caress about peds at all.

A perfect example of the standard NYU Mindset

In car news, an oversized truck just drove up my block (not a truck route) and slammed into all of the lower tree branches :argh:

Where I live they put a couple of this tiny targets on the sites of old bowling alleys. Spent a ton of money excavating underground parking because the lots had old bowling alley sized parking lots. I imagine they did similar even in Manhattan

Totally unrelated except maybe indicative of car culture, but when I was a kid I thought it was impossible for there to be grocery stores in New York City, because my kid growing up in the western US mindset couldn’t imagine a grocery store without acres of parking lots around it, and also Manhattan was my mental vision of what NYC was like. To the point I called my manhattan dwelling uncle a liar for trying to correct my misconception
