Pissbabyification of impotent american "men"

Dicks have gotten smaller
>rightards because of gay frog sex water, onions milk, and the TRUMP® vaxx
>leftards because NRA/MAGAtards are dumb they have to endanger others to feel secure, toxic masculinity from dickwaving males, and Elon Musk (don't ask me why the EV guy is to blame. I didn't make this shit up).
Reality is probably a bit of everything but everyone in America is selfish AF because glorification of hyper capitalism and YOLO culture.

Anyways, you'll have to be the change you want to see.

>>28446818
>Dicks have gotten smaller
yea, its entirely due to the increase of hispanic populations. white and black dicks have stayed the same. asians who grow up in america have bigger dicks than their same ethnic counterparts in asia, so if anything, american culture makes your dick bigger.

It's not about race but mental/emotional energy.

Most of the oversized SUV or heavy ass land rovers drivers who mow down padestrians or killing priuses are fucking women who insist on driving huge cards but doing makeup in the car or can't get off IG for 2 seconds.

Don't care, I keep buying the biggest truck possible just because I can.

I think a weirder trend is for trugg owners to get giant rims that extend the tire width beyond their car sides by at least 6 inches or so. Never understood what the point of this was for, it looks goofy and the trugg owners usually have weird stickers all over their back window too when i see this or some other weird shit.

This modern shart barge is just as tall or taller except you can't see out of it and it has 1/10 the ground clearance. Never post again.

>>28446618 (OP)
The size of trucks hasn't changed much.

The real problem is that your average work commuter/grocery getter has evolved into an all purpose big ass truck. Why? Who really knows... if we could figure out whats wrong with insecure people, we might just fix America.

We just don't know, OP.

>>28448687
>just as tall.
Fuck no it's not you braindead retard.
Basic interior cab dimensions have remained relatively constant on full-size trucks since the 60s. New trucks dont have 2 extra feet of headroom.
Just stfu and go back to /n/ you fucking basement dwelling busrider.

>>28448736
Yeah I don’t get it, classes of trucks have been set for half a century. My 70s 90s and 2020s are all about the same size as they are the same class and spec.

>is it because of the absolute braindead CAFE standards, absurd emissions regulations that have to be met with engines, and safety standards?
>no it's because of my constant thoughts of penis
what causes this?

>>28446630
Shut the fuck up Juan, the white men are talking.

>>28448763
Some retards are literally allergic to rational analysis of socioeconomic factors. You could show them the CAFE exemptions and they wouldn't care.

>>28449823
What the FUCK is an "up juan?!"
I think you got a little upjuan on your face, sonnyboy

>>28448763
its a bait thread, the fuckcar tourists spamming here refuse to believe their nigger idol fucked all small trucks post 2011 directly with fuel economy regulations

>>28446622
My 1999 Tahoe is also compact. I know a Tacoma is not.

It's funny because the people behind them fell over even though nothing was blocking them.

>>28449878
Is that you again, Mazda3fag?

>>28449833
huh? so you interpreted that post as
>shut the fuck
followed up by something you cant understand and assumed must be a name, "up, juan", just completely ignoring the comma or basic sentence structure. a meaningless comma, and an imaginary period...this isnt like a basic syntax error or something, its more like a fundamental misunderstanding of the direction of text. like a japanese person, who reads right to left might have trouble parsing an american comic book.
anyways, id change the last sentence to
>i think youve got a little upjuan your face, sonnyboy
"upjuan your", like "up on your face", instead of sorta saying it twice, "upjuan ON your", the juan doing the "on"s job at the same time.

anyways this probably should get moved to /bant/ or something.

Anon, why would you take the time to write all that in response to the resident shitposting nigger shitposting as usual?

>>28446622
Well why are there no more compact trucks? No I will not buy your Slate plastic golf cart shit.

>>28452054
bored. i dont really browse /o/ unless everything else is shit at the current moment. so by the time im here im already scraping the bottom of the barrel for content (you guys are fine, just, outside of webm threads theres really not many threads that appeal to my interests).

so. yeah. bored shitposting. if i knew more about cars id start a thread on those little diahatsu mira things. they seem kinda fun. rear seats so small and thin, the crumple zone for a rear ending is your passengers spines.

>>28452178

YEAH WHY CAN'T I FIND ANY?

>>28452178
There's no point in a small truck when a bigger truck is just so much more practical and usable. Oh and there are still plenty of new compact trucks available. They're called UTV's.

>>28452339

>>28453916
>AWD truck stuck in deep mud on regular street tires

Yeah, totally a bad truck. Theres no way your lifted F350 on 36's could get stuck either.

When automakers realized their largest untapped market in the western world was insecure men who have to verbally state they're a "real man" every other sentence.
Plus it makes their "muh real wumun" obese wives look more reasonable proportioned.
I fucking hate the current timeline.

America is expensive as fuck to live in.. I don't have the SPACE or the MONEY to own and insure a commuter car, a pickup truck, a van, etc. for my needs...

PEOPLE WANT A VEHICLE that DOES IT ALL and GUESS WHAT!?!?!? It's the QUAD CAB PICKUP TRUCK

These trucks give the 'best of all worlds' in modern day

A spacious interior to haul your ass, and 4-5 others, AND / OR items you'd want to be kept 'inside a cabin'... A computer, clothing, houseplants, groceries, ETC.

It has a bed to haul mulch, dirt, rocks, bicycles, kayaks, furniture, a motorcycle / dirt bike, firewood, a table, a lawn mower, tools...

It has the ability to haul a TRAILER... A boat trailer, a camper, a toy hauler, a CAR hauler, ETC...

Under the hood, there's enough room to smuggle 3 children practically... You have room to work on your vehicle instead of a compact tiny space you're preying you can get two fingers and maybe a wrench on anything without pulling the engine / removing half the bullshit in the way.

IT'S THE VEHICLE THAT DOES IT ALL. Of course it's going to be big,

Also you're comparing a SINGLE CAB S-10 to a QUAD CAB full size truck

If half the stickers have something to do with guns you can usually find a free gun just laying there in the truck somewhere because securing a firearm is for pussies

Always liked sleek sedans. A friend of mine joked that his '76 Catalina weighed about a ton less than his '72 Electra. And as your illustration implies, the drag coefficient of taller vehicles is shit, and kind of pointless: I could go 140 mph for days, the tach at about 3.5 K, if only my tires were rated that high.

>>28454313
All of that notwithstanding, I can't see the point of driving anything so sub-optimal from the driver's point-of-view: I enjoy driving cars, not trucks and busses.

>>28446618 (OP)
Americans are bigger than normal people, so their cars need to be bigger to accommodate them.

>AWD(lmao) "SUV" with a bed
Try again, anon.

What happened?

>>28446618 (OP)
Post-recession. After the recession hit, people desperatly needed to show that they were not poor, and because small=poor and big=rich, people bought and demanded bigger. Also with tightening saftey regulations, cars needed to be bigger to saftey punt a child 100 kilometers instead on only hitting them.

>>28448699
Length hasn't changed much, but height and sometimes width sure has

>>28455480
>nooooo, it has to meet my autistically specific definition of a truck!
Do you also work for the NHTSA?

more women choosing their families cars instead of the man. they want to feel protected especially in a "stressful" situation such as driving, and a big fat car feeds that instinct.

Sorry I can't see peasants from my lifted 3/4ton.

not much how bout you

redpill me on half tons

I'm tired of my Civic and want something big and comfy. my dad's f150 always feels cool to drive, not sure if it's the v8, the height, or how big it feels inside, but I want that
