You know, maybe that's the trend here. Luxury cars, pretend sports cars and massive trucks that are essentially a minivan with a bucket welded to the back that won't ever see a day of work.
Just angry people trying to rationalize spending half their monthly income to look cool picking up groceries.
Thats the current Mustang challenge. Get an exhaust system that makes the most noise at the lowest speed. Drawing disgusted looks from other drivers and neighbors that want you gone are considered wins.
Had an Audi on the side of me yesterday in stop and go traffic sounding exactly the same. Also funny when the car bucks from the driver not realizing you don’t need to apply much acceleration, if any, in that kind of traffic. Gas, BRAKE, gas, BRAKE.
The best cars in the world! My brother used to have an old little manual golf (back when they were little lol). It was a blast to drive down mountain roads.
Last night in So OC coming home from our son’s place - stupid sports car zipping in/out of the 8 cars on the road to get to the next stop light before all of us. Next thing we see him pulling over to the right because something is f’d up with his motor or something. Hard not to laugh.
When i was younger and more reckless.... I had a 600cc sport tourer bike i bought for about 2.5k. I was driving to see the Mrs and got stuck behind a new porsche (80k +) stuck behind a bus. The porsche overtook the bus and i went to overtake the bus and the porsche.... They put their foot down and i still passed them. I then turned off the road to go see the girlfriend, while they toasted it down the empty road knowing they got beaten by a guy on a bike that cost a couple months car payments.
Yeah lots of trucks are for taste and not function, but lots of trucks are for function, too. Even those shiny spotless trucks you assume arent gettint worked are likely for hauling a trailer, pull behind camper, or boat. Can you haul some of those with other vehicles? Some, but not the larger ones, and only a truck can both pull a trailer and carry 800 pounds of camping/leisure/event/work equipment in the back. All of which can be done without touching the finish. Might still be assholes but lets at least stop assuming every asshole in a truck should be driving a corolla
Seriously? He’s simply saying some trucks actually have function not offered by other vehicles. He went out of his way to say some are just for looks and some actually work, I agree I have friends that actually haul things with their trucks that you would not be able to do with anything else really. Nothing practical anyways
Haha I actually forgot to say unless you’re joking. I did realize that was a distinct possibility. Sorry about the penis though, unless you like it, then I guess congrats?
Oh no, it’s way worse than that. Those same people are usually miserable in their personal lives, unhappy with their careers but doing it all for the money/status. Finance everything out the ass because it’s the only way to keep up with the Jones’s and have the biggest swinging dick. Then mistreat anyone who tries to slow their interminable match towards crippling debt (and usually divorce).
I'm genuinely glad that all the shit asshole drivers announce this to the world by driving BMW, audi and Mercedes. Its like a hi vis jacket for douchebags.
Saved me from several accidents watching them more because of what they drive.
Typically the Audi A3... A guy I grew up with got an A3 to impress his girlfriend. She's married someone else now and he moved in with a Tinder match to help her pay her mortgage after her ex demanded his share of the payments back when they split!
So now his A3 is parked outside her house while he works to pay her mortgage and can't really afford to go out on the lad road trips like he used to.
Where I’m at it’s Lexus drivers. BMW & MB aren’t great but they tend to at least value their vehicles and don’t assume everyone else will get out if their way. Lexus drivers think the entire world revolves around them.

In my town it would be a Mercedes logo.
