Because cars, by and large, do not cause nearly the amount of damage as trucks in terms of liability, environmental impact, and space. I agree with your argument, to a certain extent, but here’s why people pick on trucks:

Nice! The Model S torque is addicting. I drove my friend’s S, and I didn’t want to give it back to her.

I see Alabama plates. Instead of a case of Michelob, the mechanic buddy demands a case of hushpuppies and a gallon jug of sweet tea.

Restore that beauty, and buy an ‘88 Camry DX with a stick shift as a DD.

Global warming is so bad now that AC is standard in cars. You can’t live without it.

You should crawl out from under that rock sometimes. The sun feels great hitting you in the face in the morning.

I would LOVE to have a motorcycle as my daily vehicle. I’ll even ride in the rain. The problem with that is we don’t have the infrastructure to support that. I don’t own a motorcycle because a lot of drivers simply don’t pay attention on the road.

I understand the need to be comfortable in a work vehicle. I’m not against that, and you should have a comfortable environment to work. Having said that, the amount of people who actually bought trucks, then load them up with options that would rival a Caddy, but hardly use it for truck duties, other than help a buddy…

70s F-100? I love this photo for two reasons: One, you’re absolutely right. That’s a comfortable place to be in, without being stupidly luxurious. If you want leather, butt warmers, and auto climate control, get a Lexus.

The CVT is a huge deal breaker. I don’t necessarily think the rest of the car is that bad. In fact, I like the way the new one looks. But goddam it Nissan, if you’re going to call this a sports car, offer up a manual version, or put on a 8-speed sequential shift gearbox, which is not the most current technology, but…

Should have just sold it as an Isuzu. Slapping a Chevy bow tie on it kills the credibility. I would trust an Isuzu commercial truck before I trust a Chevy.

Love this story, and it clearly shows Toyota build quality and reliability is not a hype. If you treat a Toyota well, it will take good care of you 100 times over. Original engine and trans gong over 1M miles is just incredible.

Love it. Let's go with this.

Hilarious, but let’s not exemplify this incident. While there have been times I wanted to do the same, we are living in a civilized world, and being an asshole often gets you nowhere. No reason to blow a gasket. Pun totally intended.

GM fucked this up in the grandest way possible. The Volt should have been its own brand, especially now that GM has three less brands under its umbrella (Hummer doesn’t count, as it was a hack acquisition that was going to be flipped by GM in the first place). Volt could have signified a new division of GM that gets…

This car, at this price, would force me to do something stupid, like taking $1,850 out of my account to buy a beater, when they a perfectly good car in my garage. I loved these cars as a kid, especially in black.

Fine, go German then. Top Gang.

Pretty much everything Mini makes today is desperate hipster malarkey. The Mini SUV looks like a bad Chinese copy of the original Mini

Read my reply to your earlier post. I call truce. Play nice. There's no need for that hate. I'm happy for you that you're under 30 and have the life you want. No need to resort to name calling. Kids in the school yard do that. Not adults with proper degrees.

So a biologist, a very respectable profession with no doubt extensive amount of higher education and continued learning, and you resort to referring to a product as “wussified,” thus attempting to emasculate people who happen to like the product? Come on, you’re better than that.
