Yay we will have the return of small trucks. These behemoths are good for towing and work, but not everyday driving.

Most of the behemoths aren't even good as utilitary vehicles...

I've got a 15yo Renault Kangoo which could beat almost any oversized suburban pedestrian flattener in all metrics except price.

But how will all of these guys compensate for their average or less than average penis?

It’s like a negative feedback loop I want an SUV because of a truck or another SUV hit me. I feel like I might be able to survive that but if I’m in my geometro, or a small compact car. I don’t think I’m coming out of that alive if a giant trucker or suv hit me And I know that’s not gonna change. They’re not gonna suddenly recall thousands of oversized pick up trucks those trucks are gonna be on the road for the next 10 to 15 years to come, even if something changes soon. It would take a while to phase them out.

I just want public high-speed rail everywhere 15 minutes cities please

They need to do that here too in Australia

If you're driving a larger vehicle, you should be putting in more care.

But they don't seem to here in Australia. They'll park badly and put less effort into fixing it than a small sedan

It's tiring that this is even still a thing
