If anyone wants a vehicle for daily driving on the roads it would be an AWD car...like a Subaru, Audi Quattro, or 325xi BMW...or if you are one of those who can afford a Cadillac Escalade (which seems to be the average debt-hungry population nowadays...brought to you in part by home equity loans or 8 year car loans) consider a Mercedes E320 4Matic stationwagon. Heck, even the H2 Hummer costs more than the E320 4Matic! But certain people are affected by the typical American automotive CULTURAL norms that harbor their masculine and penile endowment insecurities...so they end up choosing the penis extension F-350 or Hummer H2.  |
That's my theory on why so many people drive these behemiths. They turn like crap, stop like crap, and accelerate like crap. WHICH THEY SHOULD!!!! It's a damn truck!!!! Why anyone would put up with that on a daily basis has to be because they are insecure and need to compensate for it. I get pretty aggravated whenever I look at new trucks and SUVs today. They're HALF as capable as they're older counterparts. People bought them to compensate for said insecurities and then complained about them because they drove like a truck. DUH!!!!!!!!!!
When the day comes when I need a truck, I'm gona have to buy something from the 80s or 90s or buy the heavy duty stuff. Look at all the midsize SUVs, ALL of them are soccermom vans. The trailblazer is a ###### joke compared to the blazer I had. Mine had a puny 2.8 and still towed 800 pounds more than the new trailblazer. Whatever, I'll stop before I get too into this. It just annoys the hell out of me when a lot of people buy things that I like, complain about them and then they get pampered or whatever and then you have the bastardized abominations we have on the road now called trucks and SUVs. Sadly this is working it's way into almost everything. 4 door charger???????!?!?!?!
2 and a half ton BMW M5 that is no where near as capable as the e39 M5 and dang near drives like a 7 series!?!?!?!
Sigh....
