A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

    I own a station wagon, a suburban, and previously a truck. When I owned the truck it was full of shit or hauling stuff constantly. I sold it the moment I didn’t need it. The suburban replaced it because I refuse to put my dogs in the bed while towing the boat to go camping. The wagon is a people hauler because it’s payload is too low most of the time.

    There are quite a few people in this world who actually use their trucks. I also completely hate seeing people who own trucks but don’t use them.

      OK well we’re talking in generalities here. Most people who have a Truck (myself included) don’t need one. And I’d bet that a lot of those who do would be better served by a utility van or something similar.

      Trucks aren’t even the only vehicle capable of hauling large loads (giggity).

      Sure, some people legitimately need a truck. We’re not talking about them.

      Absolutely zero people need the pedestrian slaughterer 2000, but these kinds of trucks killing machines are more and more common on the road today.
