Helped a friend pick up a tool rental and some insulation from Home Depot. It was like one of those stone loading strong man events but much less impressive. 

Unless your brother has some serious training, it seems incredibly risky to allow the average driver to drive something with a combined weight of what, 20,000 pounds?

I’m taller than the average American man and I straight up can’t imagine how you’re supposed to load anything heavy into a modern F150/Chevy/Dodge 1500.

Even something like putting a dirtbike into the bed, is having a ramp at a 45* angle really ideal? 

Honestly it’s not the truck bed length that’s usually the issue it’s the height of the sides and even the tailgate. You have to be legit tall and strong for some things. 

The ground clearance is debatable but I have enjoyed the head room since switching to a truck. Super tall hood line doesn’t make sense to me tho

It’s so the “kiddos” can have legroom.

I remember going to a lowrider show when I was a teen. These dudes are some of the most realest car people around. The amount of pride and work that goes into them is insane. Plus the culture around the cars was cool itself. The brodozer scene is just the opposite. Slap on a lift and some huge wheels and run around…

The explosion of the lift the already huge truck to make it huger just shows how angry and insecure some Americans are. 

Not sure how this hasn’t been posted yet.

The best part is how absolutely useless they are for hauling anything in the beds. With those over-sized cabins eating into the bed as manufacturers try to position them for family comfort. I was buying lumber the other day, shoving a bunch of lumber into the back of my Forester, just some six and 8ft boards and all…

I’m not counting on that. They’re not big because of any functional reason, they’re big because that what sells. Electric or ICE, smaller trucks just can’t carry as much freedom.

I can’t wait for lowrider pickups to come back in style.

Mustang SVO found the best way around this dumb rule:

The craziest part to me is that the rules applied to digital speedos. The numbers would start climbing, hit 85 and stop counting while you know you’re going faster.

One day, I want to understand the logic behind this decision. I don’t want to block some of the sun. I'd like to block it all. There has never been a time where I have said, “You know what this sun visor needs? Mesh.”

Ignoring the Tesla threat until it was too late. Their cars are engineering garbage, ugly, and assembled badly but they have an “Apple Fanboy” like following that money can’t buy. Should have bought a controlling interest in the company before they were ridiculously overvalued in the stock market. 

The sun visors in the Mazda RX-8 are perforated. Seriously.

From Wikipedia:

GM letting Saab and Saturn wither on the vine, leading to their eventual death. 

I feel like people who bought Ones and Series X are people who are “Xbox people” probably stemming from the 360 era when they were soundly beating the PS3 in those early years. You dug into that ecosystem and it’s what you’re familiar with and what you stick with. I think that’s a large percentage of it. GamePass…
