They haven’t given up here. I’ve seen zero decrease in the amount of Emotional Support Truck douchebaggery in my daily outings. And there’s no doubt in my mind that these are the same people angrily ripping the Trump “I did that!” stickers off the gas pumps.

Anyone who drives one of these things voluntarily can stfu about the price of literally everything.

It’s been a few months since I’ve had a truck come up behind my mom mini suv mobile and honk and rev angrily for literally no reason, and that was a weekly occurrence for the last handful of years. They can’t stand when people do the literal maximum speed limit in the right lane for some reason

If you have a rear windshield washer sprayer, see if you can angle it straight backwards so it sprays on them.
Bonus points if you make the washer fluid yellow.

You shouldn’t be in the left lane if you’re doing the speed limit for more than a mile.

Didn’t read the original comment closely enough and thought it said left lane.

Even though gas prices were already high when Biden took office, and he brought them down. But somehow it was still his fault.

And then they're back to some semblance of normal by the time trump takes office, after which they proceed to skyrocket. Naw, still Biden's fault. Somehow.

My entire business is turning gasoline into the money I need to live, f350 work truck included. Got really lucky finding a 5.4 in the 1 ton frame, 25 years old, and it's still an absolute dog on fuel. And now I also have the shame of people thinking the truck is because my dick is little, which I feel any time I don't have equipment on a trailer. At least I kept the Subaru for groceries?

You may be able to offset that judgement by keeping your truck slathered in mud and always having at least five ladders hanging off it. Says, “Shut up, I actually use this!”

Honestly just having the bed be dinged and/or dirty is plenty to me.

It’s absurd the number of trucks I’ve seen where the bed liner looks brand new, never used, on a 5-10 YO vehicle. No body damage, not even a scuff on the tailgate.

Sure it IS possible to regularly use a truck as a truck and be so careful as to not cause any damage, but it’s incredibly unlikely.

What I find hilarious is I've had my finger on the car market pulse as I'm looking to get a another vehicle between now and 2028 (electric, I'll never own a gas vehicle again. An older unneutered diesel maybe, but never increasingly ethenol diluted American petrol)

The dealers near me hit a brick wall according to the websites I've been using, selling almost zero trucks since unleaded prices tipped past $4.⁰⁰ locally, and before that they were moving about 50% of their new stock of +$60,000 trucks each month, with over 85% moving before the 6 month mark which is frankly just danmed impressive that so many people can get that credited in this region

It's pretty laughable to drive about here and see a brand new 2026 GMC top trim truck in front of a 900ft² 1960's delapitated on-slab

The ranger is just another truck made by ford, not really a European specific thing. We see them here in the US. It’s smaller than the F150.

I drive a dinky little kia soul in an area dominated by pavement princess jeeps and dick compesator Ford duelies. Nothing makes my morning commute better than watching the guy in the huge lifted truck get tilted when they can't hit speed from a red light as fast as I can. You can literally feel their "custom engine work" wheezing as they push it to get up to 40. It's so fucking stupid to watch these idiots try to force something twice the size and built for hauling bricks to move as quickly as a cardboard box with adhd. I'm not even moving fast, they just can't stand to be second to something that takes any level of confidence to be seen in.

Lately though they've stopped trying and over found an even more satisfying situation. Occasionally I'll start to roll and witness the beast next to me roar and lurch only to pitter back down as they realize they can't afford to even try at this point. Slowly creeping through the intersection like a moment of inefficiency in fuel use will send them spiraling into destitution.

I know what it's like to be truely poor, and I'll do anything within my power to make sure no one ever has to experience that, but from time to time I allow myself the sick indulgence of watching people who called for suffering experience their choice first hand.
