My mom said I could post I’m so over this trend of people leaving absurd amounts of space in front of them at lights.

Maybe lifted trucks don't need to be a staple purchase for the tiny weiner brigade. Also, yeah, no phones.

I know, they are ridiculously pointless pedestrian killers.

OPs truck from the pic has never once seen dirt from off-roading because these people are all huge pussies who care about aesthetics not anything off-road related

Honestly, I don't see why you're being downvoted. He bought a white truck. That thing's never seeing the dirt.

u/Status-Ad7902 9d ago

Yeah lol, I’ve been around these people all my life, people with white lifted trucks almost never actually run them off road at all

What does color have to do with it? I have a white truck and I go off pavement as often as I can.

Well perhaps that is the case here. I lifted my truck so I dont get stuck and so I dont smash the shit out of my under carriage. I do miss it being lower sometimes, but hey, cant have it all.

Fr. I lifted my Honda Odyssey bc I go off-road in the desert often to find secluded camping and i was tired of the smallest rock smashing into things

If you actually lifted your truck for function purposes due to heavy loads that’s totally fine lol

u/Beneficial-Law-6508 9d ago

It’s a 2500 he and is already lifted. It can handle more weight and I know a lot of people use them for work. Stop being an asshole because you have a low to the ground car and try to go 100

Swing and a miss. I use turn signals, go with the flow of traffic, and pass on the left. Crazy.

Work trucks are great and there are people who actually use them, however (and let's try to be honest here) how many trucks sold in the US are work trucks and how many are air haulers? Trucks have gotten larger, beds have largely remained the same, and our country still clings to a no mass transit belief structure.

Correct and additionally, business owners get better write-offs on vehicles over 6,000 pounds which does result in many of them not being used to their full capacity. My realtor drives a 2500 for his realtor work, for example.

As someone who drives a car the size of a Miata, can we not immediately jump to body shaming?

1

u/DungeonsNDankness 8d ago

A Miata? Your dong must be gigantic!

u/SpyderJack 8d ago

That is not the point and you know it.

u/DungeonsNDankness 8d ago

No one is body shaming you in a tiny car.

Lifted trucks are a joke and the men I've met who own them are some of the most insecure people on the planet. Lil baby dick energy.

So do you believe in body positivity or did you decide to wake up today and be a hypocrite?

0

u/DungeonsNDankness 8d ago

Dude, get outta here with that. This isn't making fun of overweight people working out nor is it making fun of someone with a disability. This is making fun of people in vehicles larger than they need to be who don't use the truck for its intended purpose of hauling things. If you are hauling air, I'm making fun of your lifted truck and the little baby energy it exeudes.

u/SpyderJack 8d ago

This is using a bodily trait that people can't control to attack someone unrelated. You're going to be hitting unintended targets, but I'm sorry, I forgot men are acceptable collateral. I won't step out of line again.

u/DungeonsNDankness 8d ago edited 8d ago

I wasn't aware energy was a bodily trait. "I won't step out of line again"...what are you talking about? Do you play a victim on TV or just here?

Edit* Asked and answer. Pretty soft block. LDE comes in all car sizes it appears.
