I don't know how any civilized person could pick up groceries in anything less than a 4x4 F-150

Many men unironically feel like if they don't own a truck they are not real men. So they buy a truck for $20,000 more than what they would spend on the car they actually need, then they pay for gas for that truck which costs them 50% more than it would for that car they actually needed, then they pay for an oil change that is twice as expensive as the car would have been, then when they need tires they pay 3 times as much as the tires for the car would cost and to top it all off they blame Biden for the price of gas, as if that's what's ****ing their life up and not their own idiotic fascination with owning a truck so that they can commute to work and back and occasionally do some grocery shopping.
I worked with one of these idiots and he said he hated downtown SLC because his oversized truck didn't fit in the parking spaces or in the parking garage. He wasn't driving into the city to pick up a fridge or anything, he was driving him and his lady into SLC for dinner, but it was SLC that sucked because his truck wouldn't fit and not him for trying to use an oversized truck to drive to dinner and back, when his lady owned a Volkswagen Golf turbo. But I guess the "man" has to drive and the "man" has to drive his penis compensator into the city.
This post is so wrong. So wrong. Where can you find a good truck that’s only $20,000 dollars more than a car?

Seriously though, I can’t tell you how many people I know are driving $65,000+ trucks when a Civic, Corolla, Camry, Accord, Sonata, Altima, would’ve sufficed. Don’t want a car? Fine, get a RAV4 or CRV. Most of these vehicles can be had brand new for under $40,00. Used? $20,000-$30,000. And they all probably get double or triple (hybrids) the MPG that the trucks would.
And yeah, it’s totally SLC’s fault that his truck doesn’t fit downtown… lol. He should try driving in older big cities like Boston or New York with his truck if he thinks SLC is hard to drive in. It’s totally a cultural thing. I’d say most men don’t ever use their trucks for stuff that they’re meant for. Even the truck companies know this and have adjusted their beds. They’re now smaller than ever while the cabs are larger than ever because they know that drivers aren’t hauling stuff. They know that drivers are using their trucks like minivans, hauling kids to and from soccer mostly, but don’t want to be seen driving minivans.
On the flip side, there are people who bitch about the economy because that’s what their tribe has told them to do. Besides, it’s much more fun to bitch about the country than to say good things. I think I’ve told this story before, but I’d have a neighbor who flew his big old Trump 2020 flag well into 2022. Right before he took off for a week to Lake Powell, we got talking. He was bitching about Biden, the economy, and the price of gas. He later left and as I was finishing up my lawn, I waved as he and his family drove by. They were in a gigantic GMC truck and hauling their boat. His wife is very much into image, so she clearly had gotten her hair extensions and nails recently done. And all 3 kids sitting in the back of the cab had iPads.
So clearly the forgotten man. They’d be living the dream if it weren’t for inflation…
