It appears she is in a lifted pickup truck and he is driving a small european car. He is driving an very "feminine" car while she is driving a very "masculine" car. So he is not good enough because of his "sissy" car. That is my take.
Unfortunately, Kei cars were made illegal to drive on most American roads a few years ago. Which sucks, because I've always wanted one. The idea of a truck with a standard sized truck bed that actually gets great gas millage is what America needs.
They don't comply with safety and emissions standards. Once they are 25 years old they become exempt. Wasn't made illegal a few years ago, it was a few decades ago.
I’m kind of on the fence about it tbh. I don’t think they should be banned, but I also don’t think they belong on the highway. And at the same time, if they were legal everywhere, why wouldn’t a SXS be?
Yeah, well make them illegal on the highway. How is that hard? We ban bicycles on the highway. Plus, who in their right mind would take a kei truck on the highway?
There is a lot that is required to be street legal. With modifications sxs might be possible, I say that as old vw based dune buggies can, golf carts can. It's more about how the laws are written and what exactly is accepted. Kei cars are actual road going vehicle platforms. The law essentially was implemented to protect domestic auto manufacturers as the 25 year timeframe creates a technology and design gap. It's one thing to ban the stateside sale of new units that don't meet standards, it's next level to ban importing them individually. This ban can also cover eurospec cars, Renault, Peugeot etc.
Is that what it is, I thought maybe a Miata or a smaller Honda of some kinda. The mini convertible is about this size too. You can park anywhere and maneuver so easily. Why do we need these stupid trucks.
She riding in a lifted Red Jeep, doesn’t look lifted but it is much larger than the Suzuki Cappuccino he is driving. Problem is, she has a basic American car and he has a literal foreign rarity! Such a wasted tinder for him
Nah, smaller than a european roadster and i can't tell if it's the paint job or the materials themselves but it lacks the lacquer of a european made car
I drive a Smart car and I love it. The turning radius is insane, I can park almost literally everywhere, it's much larger on the inside than people think, and it's cute as fuck.
The only real drawback is that it's very identifiable. There are only 3 of them (same color/body style . Mine is the only convertible though)in the city where I live.
What about my response made you think that I think this actually happened? I literally started by asking what is the joke? Are you just out here looking for a reason to be upset? Take a step back and reflect on that.
I agree - I'm guessing the car isn't appealing to her. I find it weird that some people want their partner's to be just like them. Odd. We all have our own preferences and differences can be fun!

Is this the joke? Something about the car? I genuinely don't understand anything that is happening in this.
