It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.
But now that Holden have stopped making Commodores, how else are you meant to show you’re a dickhead?
I saw an image comparing these with the older versions, and while the size of the vehicle has massively increased, the size of the actual tray has decreased.
In America, I’m sick and tired of seeing them. They’re minivans for insecure dads. They’re props for office workers who want to LARP as construction workers
Every time I see them, all I can think is that they hate kids (huge blind spots) and love to complain about gas/petrol prices. They also don’t fit in our huge parking spaces. Sure, they have their uses, but I really doubt that the shiny, pristine truck is being used to haul/tow anything
The real construction workers/laborers are usually seen driving normal sedans/cars, minivans, or actual vans. Fuck pickup trucks, they’re awful
They’re minivans for insecure dads.
I disagree with that. A minivan has a clear and specific function it does rather well (moving a lot of people comfortably, and having a lot of space). These things don’t, really. The cab takes up so much space the bed is close to vestigial, and the only thing it’s really good for is towing.
You can carry more with the minivan, compared to the pickup (just put the wood inside the minivan) and some of them even have all-wheel drive. You won’t be fording streams and climbing mountains with it, as fun as that might look, so that’s probably fine too.
The F150 isn’t even the worst offender, I’m sitting in my office looking out the window and there is a lifted wankerado in the carpark. it’s hood is up to my shoulders and I’m 5’11. They’re not a good off roader why lift them like that?
How the fuck is that even legal.
I used to drive an ND MX5, and when one of these cunt-mobiles was behind me I always tried to get off the line as fast as that little thing would let me because I was certain some the drivers had no idea I was there.
Mate I know the feeling. Biggest I’ve seen, I couldn’t even see over the hood and I’m 6’3 🫠
Are we calling bonnets ‘hoods’ and boots ‘trunks’ now? When did that happen?
I use them interchangeably… guess it’s all the yank media rubbing off on me. I don’t say trunk though, that still feels wrong.
I drive a nc mx5, another issue is that their headlights (which are always bright white and far too bright even on low beams) shine directly into my side mirrors (and often the rear view as well) due to the height at which they are placed. Also, they are often are too close when high beams turn on automatically, which presents further problems for road awareness.
I’ve been seeing those yank tanks showing up at my child’s school lately. They’re legitimately frightening. The bonnet comes almost up to my shoulder.
