@dmoren The toxic-masculinity crowd will go absolutely ape-shit over this. How can they dominate everyone without their 3 ton Garguntubator XLs?

@Cliftographer @dmoren I don't even think the problem is wanting to dominate. they want to be acknowledged, to show that they exists. Their life must be so empty and useless to feel the need of a big car. Pathetic.

@thefwguy @Cliftographer @dmoren Yep. The big trucks or muscle cars are a cry for relevancy.
