Oh my god I would like to see a hatchback or a sedan or a station wagon on the road again please. Every car manufacturer is selling maybe a single massively overpriced sports coupe, maybe the world's most boring shopping cart that feels like it's made from soda cans but is still somehow unaffordable, 10 Suburban Assault Vehicles of various sizes, and like 3 monster trucks.

Holy shit maybe roads wouldn't be such a hell nightmare if they weren't only selling tanks.

    I fundamentally believe you should need a CDL to drive a pickup and that they should only be available for purchase if you have any semblance of a legitimate reason to have one like being a tradesperson, farmer, or even just a hobby woodworker. Trucks should not be commuter vehicles.

      "DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOO" reactionary brainworms are part of the ratchet effect where the trucks can't get smaller, only bigger, because getting a smaller vehicle, even if they were available, would seem like being gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to these chuds.

        Make 'em pass a CDL test to keep their truck, I doubt most of these boomers could actually pass a driving test.

        Actually, everyone should have to pass a driving test like every 5-10 years to retain their license.

          I told someone from another country the other day how I can just renew my Drivers License online. He was understandably surprised.
