well yea, that's obviously why they do it.
doesn't make it good.
Change the laws. If it is a truck you should have to get a CDL, have to go to weight stations, cant drive on the parkway etc. If it is a car it should have to follow the emission rules cars have. There is no point in having standards if we make exceptions so big you can drive a cough.....sports utility vehicle....cough through.
Edit: of course we can pretty much end the pickup market tomorrow if we provide free therapy for men with a micropenis.
I am sure car companies spend a ton of money lobbying politicians to never do this.
Fine whatever. I will start leaving notes in the bed of gas guzzling pickups that say "sorry about the micropenis you feel you need to compensate for"
that would be a great way to undermine your entire cause.
some people just prefer larger cars, and pivoting to some bizarre comment about their genitalia is an incredibly stupid way to go about dealing with the issue.
I was just about to say the same thing to the person you were replying to.
Immature responses doesn't convince anyone of anything.
Oh woah is me. The small dick energy crowd won't be on my side. Oh woah is me woah is me.
Woe*
lol good luck with that
I'm now hearing your comment in a 'Bill and Ted' type voice.
On a serious note, if you want to win people over to your cause, try not to insult them, but instead convince them.
Nah I don't want small dick energy crowd on my side.
Could you give the rest of us a quick education on what that is?
I'n never sure though that the initials a person is using is for the same thing that comes up as the first item on a Google search, so I like to ask the person instead.
I wouldn't have bothered asking if I did.
Not sure how I pissed you off, but I really didn't know.
As someone who didn't know, thank you.
You must be lots of fun at parties.
Fair enough, thanks.
Good to hear. That's important, especially these days.
Boring.........sorry you were shortchanged down there.
