    I’ve seen an increase in these dumb trucks in my small European city. Every single one in pristine condition, so you know the pricks don’t use them for work. A few stood out with expectedly dumb details. One had a license plate a la “I love USA”, and another had a sticker “0800-EAT-SHIT”. I’m pissed EU doesn’t have the balls to ban them altogether.

      I’ve counted. In my area of Canada less than 3% of pickups that I see are being used as anything other than a commuter car at any given time.

      These insecure dumbasses define their worth by the size of their truck. The things are just $100,000 fashion accessories. Emotional support vehicles.

      See, that right there.

      I used to have a massive F-550, but it was so beat up and had the connections to make use of that towing capacity.

      Most of these trucks have never been off the pavement and never hauled more than groceries.

      Also, an F-250 now is the size of my F-550 in the 90s.

      I need to figure out some way to plausibly scratch these things with deniability. Maybe an umbrella with a metal tip sticking out of my bag. Whoops, sorry, couldn’t be helped, total accident.

        Perhaps a simple trip/stumble while holding a handful of sharp metal objects that happen to make contact as you reach out to prevent a full fall, clumsy me…
