@fj I don't think those things would fit our roads

@fj the F150 isn't even a big truck by US standards. We don't need anything that large as a car!!

@fj At least we can quantify the masculinity deficit of some people.
-
@fj why not let people decide if they want such a large vehicle or not?
@reloadedhead @fj Because they endanger others, use way more space and it also encourages driving like pricks.
Or is it just making pricks more visible? -

@fj I moved to Austin, Texas 10 years ago from the NYC metro area. Seeing these trucks on the road is *still* a sight to behold. Just ridiculous.

@fj Pet peeve: when you make sharepics for a good cause, don't compare apples to oranges. Point in case: I don't know about US cars, but I am sure the small Renault Twingo in that size ended production in 2007, the current model is somewhat wider and longer.

@fj I sometimes see the Ford Ranger, which is a "small" pickup per US standards and it's already ridiculously large. I hope we never see those monstrosities here.
But UVDL will UVDL and she might cave to them

@fj big cars for big egos

One of those times, where the Simpsons predicted the present. -

@reloadedhead If you absolutely want to be an asshole, you can *have* such a vehicle alright. Drive it on your own lot, no problem. Public space is public, so the public makes the rules. We don't let people decide whether they want to take a dump in front of your doorstep or not either.

@fj Ok ik American trucks are massive, but could you atleast have used a graphic that actually compares trucks and not the smallest form factor style car against a vehicle that *has* to be large enough to haul stuff.
-
@fj You can’t even get a capable small truck in the US anymore. Tacomas are as big as Tundras used to be. It’s ridiculous. The hoods are so tall they suck for off-roading visibility. You lose the trail in front of you going uphill.
@killionaire @fj yep stupid government tied emissions requirements to foot print size and shits been getting bigger ever since.

The size is to do with certain Americans having weak egos.
