Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?
This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.
I drive a 2010 Acura MDX. When I bought it, it was one the largest SUVs in the market. When I bought it people thought it was ridiculous. Jump to today. It's midsize. I can't even find it parking lots as it's dwarfed by every truck and SUV around. Including what used to be economy and entry level vehicles. I have crossbars on it for my kayak to boot.
I drive a 1997 Honda Prelude.
I always park waaaaaaay in the back because there's no way otherwise. My car comes up to my waist. It's tiny by comparison. I park it in the garage by my wife's 2010 Sequoia, and the juxtaposition is hilarious.
I drive an 89 supra, it was kind of a smaller car in it's day, but certainly far from as small as it feels now. My head is below the "blind" on the newer style headlights that make sure they aren't blinding drivers despite how crazy bright they are. It's not alot of fun... but the car is... so I put up with it. I have night driving glasses that severely cut down on that type of glare. It helps, but isn't magic.
I've got a Honda fit and a 2012 Sequoia. It's ridiculous lol
I've got a 2024 pilot. It's fucking big, but it's considered 'mid sized', which blows my fucking mind until I pull up to a Suburban or the like
I drive a newer Tacoma. It looks like a little baby next to full-sized pickups, but it's a giant if I pull up next to an older Tacoma at a traffic light.
It was like retaliation for that Al Gore climate movie.
"Guys, we might be doing irreversible damage the planet"
"Fuck you! I'm gonna damage the planet even harder!"
And the Hummer has a potential use over a normal car at least. The others are just unnecessarily big, heavy and idiotic.
Not that many people need the off-road capabilities of the Hummer, but at least it could be used for other things than be a nuisance and dangerous.
The H1 is ridiculously unreliable though, it's not an actual good offroad vehicle compared to more normal alternatives.
The other are does song low profiles on mags too. Like line backer in high heels.
Arheummm.. the other one, is set with low profile tire on mag wheels. Like a line backer in high heels.
we need a comeback of the bumper sticker, "i don't need an suv, my dick is big enough."
All truck commercials seem to laser focus on male insecurity.
Can you tow 30,000lbs? That's right, we thought you weren't a man.
It's still very wide. 6" wider than a modern F250!
Not if you include the F-250's mirrors.

I remember FUH2!
The H2 was a steaming pile of shit
compared to the H1.
