      Even with blue collar work it's kinda funny. Construction sites are filled with pickups that people only commute to the site with. Like they need a few pickups on site for stuff, but not everyone needs one on hand.

      My neighbour is a contractor and he drives his pickup to his work pickup as well, lol.

      my friend's brother moved to a smallish town and got a brand new one-ton truck because "everybody in town has a truck". he works in accounting

      My first car was a mini truck (not a micro truck), like in the vein of the 90s Tacoma or nissan hardbody.. tbh, it got OK mileage (almost 30 mpg IIRC) and it was pretty useful. It was also the perfect size. I kinda miss it lol

        If i had the money to start a car company I’d start one that just makes small trucks like that. They’d be a hit

          Unfortunately everyone who can afford cars nowadays are wretched boomers who think anyone with a car that won’t flatten a pedestrian with a light nudge is a Soviet sleeper agent

          They are awesome and pretty much all 99% of truck owners need anyway. Like, hauling junk to the junkyard, helping people move, and especially, being able to throw gear in the bed and drive to wherever was really nice. I got into mountain biking at one point and it's just so easy to chuck everything in the back.

      I kinda want a truck but like I just want to be able to move a couch or a bed or a large TV without renting some bullshit

      don't worry though I'd never be able to afford one
