It's also the cheapest vehicle they sell due to an emission standards loophole.

Well, there is no more cars at some dealers, only SUV and trucks
Why sell a car that's more expensive to manufacture?
I think it's more because of the margin, say manuf a car for 30k and sell it 32k, compared to manuf a truck for 40k and sell it 60k+...
I live in a suburbia and there is a couple of lifted F250 trucks that are only used to go to Costco, which haven't tow anything (no hitch anyway), and never saw a grain of dust anyway.
:-(

Am in browser and their link is not hyperlinked at all but yours is.

Just gonna keep on posting this
Yeah, it was a little extra but I splurged for the GDLS M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank because I deserve it. Besides, you never know when you might need it!
This explains that whole Tiananmen mixup. Those tanks couldn't even see those people.
you mean the people that were cheering on the glorious tanks during the Tiananmen square parade

I've been riding an ebike to work since June, its so much better than driving a car.
But in a head on collision, the biggest vehicle is the safer vehicle. Therefore, you should drive Cat 797 to work for maximum safety.
The Bagger 288 is seriously impressive. It can scoop up and eat those Caterpillar 797s for breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The specs are amazing!
Although the price varies based on individual customer specifications, each 797 costs approximately US$5,000,000.Other prices have been listed at US$3,400,000.
If I could buy one, I wouldn't be commuting.
buy and maintain, it probably costs over $1M/yr in fuel and spare parts

Except you would die trying that where I live. But cool it's good for you!
I was real excited to see my deeply conservative city add bike lanes recently, but people just ignore them. They even tried adding little reflector barriers, but people kept running them over.
The sad truth is it's not a real bikelane unless it's protected by a barrier.
Like a curb. The ideal bike lane is in-between street parking and the sidewalk.

People vastly over estimate the danger of riding a bike. It's comparable in lethality to getting on a highway in your car, slightly less lethal in most places, but slightly more dangerous for non lethal injuries, iirc.

Some companies like GM collects and gives/sales your genetic information and sexual life, to 3rd parties.
If I hadn't seen the source, I would have thought you were crazy
So sick of these big Utes here in Australia.
Never seen a dirty dodge ram ever, and only ever saw one towing anything remotely big. And they're constantly parking illegally or getting in the way because parking here isn't designed for them.
Here in Australia, they should be recategorized as heavy vehicles and require a truck license.
And the drivers spend their time trolling on the Internet talking nonsense about EVs generally too
My Saturn is starting to look more and more like my forever car everyday. I think I'll try to save up to turn it into an EV

I fucking love this meme. It places more fault on the salesman than the buyer, which is an important aspect to why we're in this situation. The illusion of choice while manufacturers, and therefore dealers, try and get us all to buy the same thing.
