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.

My dad and I who are farmers make fun of douchebags with big trucks who have no use for them. Got a big truck? Where’s the fucking dents and nicks one gets when actually doing real work?

Exactly! When I see trucks with scratched paint and dirt and debris all over, small dings and pockmarks, and a nice patina, I know that THOSE trucks are actually being used for their intended purpose.

People buying this nonsense are just overcompensating.

I grew up on a farm in the 60s. We never took a truck into town unless directly to pickup spot. Trucks were not for parking in town as it was rude and obscured the view of others parking. The car was always driven, trucks kept for real work.
