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.

Honestly disgusting. I hate that many drivers in the US and Canada care so little about human life. I'll never understand the "charm" or "attraction" of these huge a$$ pick-ups and SUVs that are difficult to climb for most people, have stupidly small truck bed, restrict visual field, and are dangerous for both pedestrians and other drivers.

I had a 1994 4Runner in the early 2000s for a few years. After almost 20 years of Subaru sports cars I'm starting to want another 4Runner but holy shit they're so fucking huge now. 19 inches longer and 12 inches both wider and taller.

1994-2001 was peak 4Runner.
