Useful for carrying massive things every single day, completely useless for all other purposes.

I noticed that car owners never use their cars to their fullest potential. You have all this additional space just being permanently unused, which just worsens highway traffic. Not to mention all the additional pollution you're now responsible for because that big ass car is not an EV.

Just get a regular sized car if you don't wanna bother transporting 3 grand pianos to the same two places every single day. Oh wait, now you have to retune them too.

One pretty big factor to these getting bought is due to safety and for that reason I feel like we as a society has prioritized driver safety that we have sacrificed pedestrian safety

it's not safety, i mean, well, it is safety, at the cost of the poor sod that you crash into and fucking kill. Or the children that you're statistically more likely to run over and even more statistically likely to kill if you do hit them.

You know what else is safe? Not ramming your car into a brick wall.

I'm just talking about car safety for the first bit here, not even pedestrian impacts.

My car is probably smaller than the cabin and engine of that truck and I don’t even have a compact car
