What is the bloody point of such a truck
It's a fashion statement, conspicuous consumption (owner has money to throw around), a political leaning/association, and an assertion of the owner's masculinity. To be clear, this behavior gets all my hate, not only because all of these things are encouraged by our economy and advertising, but are also directly supporting a lot of toxic traits and behavior.
Dick replacement. When you can’t see yours anymore, gotta get an external one.
"It's cool" or something idk. I used to work with a guy at a desk job who had a truck like that and he was the biggest douchebag I've ever met.
My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.
Big car make big noise!
So does small exhaust, if you know what I mean 😀
Cars first use is as a fashion accessory, akin of a watch. People don't buy cars for objective reasons, but to project the image they want.
I buy my cars solely as transport. I usually buy the cheapest thing I can find that has the amenities I want (AC, Bluetooth, heated seats) with the best gas mileage I can get. Typically ends up being a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
I don't give a shit about cars. I'd rather spend that money on home improvements and my family.
You think your decision is a rational one, but Garfield disagree.
When you run over a child, there won't be blood stains on the hood.
Counterbalancing deficits in either the mental or procreative department. Maybe even both.
