      I fully support this. I still see smart cars on the road. A sensible car. Tiny as hell. Impractical because a tank suv will run it over and not even notice.

        Those trucks are very common where I live and it’s a nightmare to deal with. Most of the time these people aren’t even hauling anything, it’s just to flex on us small folk.

          95% of people with a truck like that never haul anything, or at max, they haul a small load of lumber once a year. Absolute waste.

          Also, 95% of the hauling needs that people have could be solved by the normal sized trucks of the 70’s and 80’s. Not todays monstrosities.

          The people themselves are a nightmare too. By far some of the worst, most aggressive, and stupidest drivers on the road.
