Seriously spends $80 to drive 20km..

One of the bosses at my work has a massive Fall Guy truck, and often has huge items delivered to work, just so he has an excuse to use it.

"You won't get that in the back of a Fiesta"

That's right dickhead, because we'd have the items delivered to our homes.

You may not like it, but this is what peak freight vehicle looks like

I had a supervisor that blew his entire OT and 401k on $90000 truck and proceeded to complain about how shit the gas mileage was.

My coworker lives in a downtown apartment with a cramped parking garage and bought a full size pickup to drive 1.5 miles to the parking garage at our workplace to write code. I'm embarrassed for them and keep telling them to buy a bicycle

I have lately been pretty convinced that 70% of pickup drivers don't actually need a truck but instead use it to compensate their insecurity about their small dicks and their fragile masculinity.

I am that uncle. I'm just doing what I have to to survive.

If I could buy a new car I would. I'd get an electric, self-driving pleasure machine, but no way I can afford it.

Maybe when this thing breaks down (it's already 15 yrs old).

The parking lot at work is filled huge pickup trucks, while the inside of the building is filled with tiny penises.

20,000 miles??? Good god get a closer job

This is literally half of all Canadian men. Probably similar in the US.

I can't afford 3 cars.

I feel like a pretty good vehicle for a lot of people like that who need a truck sometimes and don't want a second vehicle could be one of the new small diesel trucks, like the ram ecodiesel. 30mpg is more than even most compact SUVs get, it's still a truck for people that like that, and it can haul/tow more than a compact suv as well.

A big problem with 2 vehicles instead of 1 is often that insurance costs so much more, even if you're driving the same number of miles as when you had 1 vehicle. Registration fees too.

I keep my paid off subie around, but I do like driving the camp converted van around because I can just sit and relax without having to go all the way home.

I'm guessing the title is hyperbole but it's still kinda ridiculous even for hyperbole lol.

$80

20km

🤔

Where do you live that you pay more than $8 per liter ($30/gallon) of gas?

I miss my S-10. You could crawl in the engine bay. 8 foot bed. Manual transmission. I know those size trucks aren't coming back anytime soon or probably ever.

What fucking hell hole do you live that it costs $80 to drive 12 miles? At $10 USD a gallon that's like 1 mpg.

fuck cars

Lemmy/Fediverse comment sections are pretty bad about making up personality traits/stereotyping people who do things they disagree with. This thread is wild.

My coworker in an office job drove an American-style pickup (it dwarfed my Fiesta on a parking lot), coincidentally he was also a hunter so it was just a cherry on top of the douchebaggery

So I should buy another vehicle just for my 20km commute?

Calls Uncle crazy...yet he's still the first person to call after getting a new piece of furniture or when moving to a new apartment.
