    Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.

      My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can’t fit in my wife’s sedan.

      I’m a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y’know?

      My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he’s like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said “if she’s gonna ride a bike in the street, she’s gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn’t see me”

      TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

    • Teslas
    • Really large trucks that are clearly not being used for actual work
    • BMWs
    • Lexuses
    • Shitty little ricers that aren’t fast, they’re just obnoxiously loud
    • Anyone with a rented box truck (like a UHaul) driving in the far left lane of the freeway.
    • Cop cars

    what we call “Yank tanks”. giant pickups that are too big for parking spaces so they take up two or three.

    Ram Trucks. according to research, these vehicles are the most likely to be driven, and wrecked, by a drunk driver. People who instinctively idolize an animal that solves it’s problems by smashing them with it’s face… probably not the best people to drive near.

    I’d say those extended cab pickup trucks with those big smokestacks, they’re literally made that way to blow smoke in people’s faces, pollute the environment.

    Any cars really, cars have the power to turn any decent human being into soulless sociopath.

      And what’s more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄

      To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It’s a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "

    This and big coal rolling, loud ass trucks.

    Pick up trucks I get. I’m a tradesman.

    But some trucks are absolutely massive, and more often than not MUCH more than the driver needs, and the coal rolling and loudness is just obnoxious af.

    Cops still take it tho. Head on a swivel for those shills.

    NL here: Imported American trucks. You do not need a car that costs €5000/month in fuel alone that you cannot use practically in any way that a van, a regular car or even a bakfiets could do more cost-effectively. The only people who go through the effort to get such a vehicle are compensating for something, and a Dodge Ram in The Netherlands is only useful for dick measuring, and the most significant thing it’ll ever move is the owner’s fragile ego.
