      They never stopped being popular in my god-forsaken town. Drive past a big church on Sunday morning and you'll witness an unbroken sea of shiny, oversized bricks plastered with racist stickers

      Brick-shaped lifted trucks are the most popular, followed by brick-shaped non-Hummer SUVs, but Hummers tie for third place with disgraceful Hummeroid Jeeps kitted out to look like a post-apocalyptic frat party

      idk the hummer ev is an unreasonable product that costs an unreasonable amount of money. saying "people want" this is kinda weird when marketing creates demand.

      most people would rather have a car (that's still too big, death to america), and reasonable people would rather have the metal plastic, and batteries be hundreds of e-bikes.

      I wanted one for a brief period in the mid 90s. I lived in rural NM and I thought it would be a lot of fun to drive around on the sand dunes with one. Then I moved to rural PA and realized what a nightmare owning one would be.

        yes, kei trucks are pretty common here in Colombia

        America will only come around to the glory of the kei vehicle after an incredible oil shortage or a violent revolution with accompanying purges

            It depends on the state. Some ban trucks, some ban all kei cars, some ban other Japanese imports:

    If beds were meant to have walls I wouldn't wake up every morning by log rolling onto the floor.
