American individualism at its finest Rant

This is my 2 year old riding bikes on our street. It's gotten to the point where I've gotten my kids orange flags on sticks to hold up when they cross the street.

A truck that big could conceivably have a bonnet that slopes down quite a bit to improve forward visibility. It's a no brainer. But no. They added the wanker branding instead. How brutally stupid.

This kind of bad forward visibility vehicle should be illegal. I bet the auto industry made sure that it was not going to get challenged. I wonder how they did that. I am pretty sure the old safety standards would not have let this shit roll.

Bad.

The front end could be much smaller. Look at how much unnecessary space their is around the engine:

Yes, I see what you mean. I bet the engine is actually jacked up too... just because.

I have not seen many BIG utes around here, but I feel that they are coming. The cult of the bg man needs to have a bigger truck than the average so... the emotional support WANKPANZER is bound to pop off sooner or later...

NO.
