Anon OpinThis obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion
Lyn@anon_opin Same in Australia.
Big utes for dud roots.
Ian MalcolmYep. We might have the landscape for it in parts of Oz, but the vast majority of these mobile small-dick compensators never even leave the suburban sprawl, let alone see a dirt road.
@imalcolm @anon_opin Hours of entertainment watching them try to park the fuckers at the shops though.
Absolutely! Was in a multi-level car park a few weeks ago and decided to wait in our car while my partner ran in and grabbed a couple of things, and I watched someone in a ridiculous RAM ute trying to reverse into a spot three or four cars away. They finally succeeded after (conservatively) over ten minutes and dozens of attempts. 😂
It was genuinely astounding. Even when it appeared to be lined up, they'd get 1/4 of the way in, come out and try again.🤔
DTrasler Writing@imalcolm @frogglin @anon_opin I live in British COlumbia, Canada, and yesterday I was at Safeway, where an idiot had parked his Ford F350 at forty five degrees in a parking space because he was so inept. Also, the truck was pristine, because he doesn't work in construction or live in the wilderness.
@Dtraslerwriting @imalcolm @anon_opin oh yes, they're all so shiny!
There's one locally that tows a trailer for stuff he could fit in the bed, but I suppose putting things in the bed might hurt the paint...
Wow... You have to wonder if they feel any shame at times like that...but given their vehicle choice, probably not...
@imalcolm @frogglin @anon_opin Pretty sure they didn't. The next space over (that they were encroaching on) was the disabled one, of course.
Leanne J@imalcolm @frogglin @anon_opin We also have a problem with tons of big Land Rovers, built for off-road ability, that have never seen a bit of mud in their lives. We call them ‘Chelsea tractors’ (after the centre of London)
Oh snap! Where I am, Range Rovers and Land Rovers that never go off-road (or even get dirty) are called "Toorak tractors" after an affluent inner-east Melbourne suburb. 😂
Curious@frogglin @anon_opin I've been playing with calling them trucklettes (for manlettes) gets a reaction.
A few people call them murder utes because of the harm the cause in accidents, but this can actually encourage some of the knuckle draggers with masculinity issues that so desperately need these things.
