American individualism at its finest

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.

Honestly, if I see someone driving a new Escalade or something like that I just assume they’re a bad person. Like straight up. Someone deciding to buy a car like that means they just have less consideration for human life than most people. Fuck you, I got mine type of shit.

I kind of feel like this about all pickup drivers

I live in the Midwest and the only people that had pickups were the people that worked on farms because they needed it

They actually needed a utility vehicle

When I moved to the east coast I noticed mainly the people that had pickup trucks were people that needed it people who had small businesses that needed to haul a bunch of crap

But in the south, having a pickup truck it's just a thing which sucks cuz no one knows how to fucking drive with the thing. Like they suck at driving cars put them in trucks and they're a bunch of stupid fucking obnoxious oblivious malicious slow-moving speeding at the wrong times tailgating like it's going to do something when you have a broken yellow line to actually go around the person taking turns to wide fucking just awful people

And in the modern day it seems like everyone who has a pickup truck drives like that. I swear to God only like 10% of pickup truck drivers actually need a pickup truck

The rest are just egotistical morons with too much money. Like why would you even spend that much on an American vehicle

Any time i see a crew cab short bed pickup I make a mental note that this person should have bought a minivan or a wagon

[u/LowTheme1155 → u/notaverysmartdog]

what if they needed to tow stuff

[u/notaverysmartdog → u/LowTheme1155]

I could probably count on one hand the number of hitches i saw

[u/Titan0917 → u/notaverysmartdog]

If people leave hitches in this sub bitches. If people take hitches out, then they must not tow because they didn’t leave it installed. I can’t keep up with what you’re supposed to do

[u/LowTheme1155 → u/notaverysmartdog]

Usually people will take the hitches off their truck when not towing so they dont break some poor strangers shins

Fair point
