My conclusion on the current trend of gigantic pedestrian-crusher 9000 F-350 SUPER CAB infrastructure-destroyers that are plaguing American highways (other than D2A) is that these are Do-Not-Divorce-Me-Mobiles or alternatively See-What-I'll-Do-If-You-Divorce-Me-Mobiles. As material conditions in the US continue to precipitously degrade the US will look more and more like this with strung-out entrapped middle classians who can still leverage debt to even purchase a vehicle being the last hope to prop up dying US automakers deciding to get epic with it because nothing really matters. I do a lot of city-driving these days and I have seen RELIEF on people's faces over the mere act of checking my mirrors before I peel out into a school bus or something. That is how low the bar is.
D2A?
Ohh, right.
looks like a minvan in the picture
back in 2008, when gas went up real high for americans alongside what was called the "global financial crisis" and the real estate implosion... i remember craigslist was full of huge, used SUVs for really cheap.
these damn jumbo killers are going to be plaguing us for decades and our only real hope is a revolution ban or some wild increase in fuel prices that takes 95% of them off the road
You: Stocking up on lentils to weather the economic downturns, cycle of crises inherent to capitalism, scarcity, and austerity conditions imposed by the bourgeoisie dictatorship
Me: Stocking up on lentils to deflate the tires of the abominable super trucks
We are not the same.
