arguing over what song the orchestra should play on the deck of a sinking ship
Fucking CAFE standards killed the sedan as a segment and I fucking hate it not because it killed sedans, but that it took the station wagon and hatchback with it.
A GMC something parked in front of me at the grocers today. The hood came up to the roof of my sedan and there's a fucking camera installed in the middle of the grille so the hog behind the wheel can see where he's going, presumably only activates when parking or something.
Ford f150 xl starts weight at 4k. To compare to a modern sedan
The Honda civic lx is 3klbs.
Both are base models. The f150 goes up to 5k with full trim.It's not much of a difference the reason traffic fatalities are rising is because everyone is staring at their phone all the time.
There shouldn't be an incentive for trucks at all lmao
Hybrid trucks are a fucking joke meant for suburbanite yuppies.
Yeah let's keep the most polluting vehicles on dino fuel forever lmao.
Just stop letting yuppies who don't need them buy them. The people who actually need trucks for work aren't buying trucks that have more electronics to break.
Edit: oh look at the modlog also Vanjones

Been here since tc69 and all the struggle sessions. New names are fun. when trying to build a forum don't belittle new members. It's also a really lame deflection for when you get pushed on a subject you have no real insight on.
The only people that buy work trucks are fleets. If you are spending most of your time in your truck doimg work for your own business you get mid trim or higher.
I'll be getting a lightning for my farm.

This is alt on alt violence, stop it please?
they're definitely worse for pedestrian collisions though, right? Getting pulled under with a truck vs. rolling over the windscreen with a sedan. Not that you can feasible walk places in the US, from what YT has taught me
F150s go through the same pedestrain collision and other safety crash test that the Civic does. Who scores better i have not looked that up.
I've been hit by a few cars while riding my bike yearlong in Chicago. It's not the impact that hurts. It's the flying off the hood as they slame on their brakes that will fuck you up.
Hd trucks though have no safety standards or mpg standards and they are getting stupid large.
isn't there a difference in pedestrian visibility between shorter and taller vehicles?
In a 1500 i don't think it's much. Is it different yeah. But your going to see most people. Children maybe not. I have a 05 sierra barely lifted and i have no problem seeing everyone.
My 2017 f250 i needed for my old farm that's a different story. They're to large comically big. I'm 6foot plus and i needed side steps to get into that thing stock height
motor vehicles should be illegal unless those people who lift big stones can lift them
It is kind of unfathomable to me that people spend that much on cars. The idea of even owning a new car barely makes sense to me. I can't think of myself doing that.
Anyways, gonna go throw a car battery into the ocean.
