    An M1 Abrams main battle tank has better visibility of children in front of it than the F-series and similar pointless toys.

    They’re fine on the job site.

    Thing is, most people buying them only ever haul their asses to Starbucks. They’re a status symbol. And they’re fucking ridiculous. Like what you like but if you’re just doing suburban driving, you should drive a little electric vehicle. Who cares if it’s “not manly,” it’s the most efficient tool for the job.

      Pickups are useful on job sites. But I don’t think there was a strong need to double their size and make them way more dangerous and way less efficient.

      HA!

      Every manager and supervisor drives one of these giant fucking abominations. The guys who actually work have vans, they hold more stuff and use less gas.

        Even more because your tools are more difficult to steal in a van and if you really needed to move a lot of lumber or other big stuff you can use a trailer.

      Honestly, it’s far more manly. The least manly thing you can do is worry about how manly people think you look. If you’re actually secure in your manliness you don’t need a giant truck to make sure people know you’re really a man. It just makes you look insecure and weak.

      What kind of jobs you ppl have where you don’t want to see your surroundings? These are not even efficient, and waste tons of space, ffs.

      If only there were more options available in that category.

      Lately? Deliberately going on pages of their political adversaries to spout vitriol, and fully not expecting any sort of negative reaction from said vitriol.

      This is especially funny, given just how many buses I’ve seen that don’t have this problem.

      An alternative to a ban: require a truck driving license for such big vehicles with limited visibility, ie this kind of SUV. Also, enforce the same kind of speed restrictions and fordidden areas as trucks, ie exclude from neighboorhoods with narrow streets.
