    I just don’t understand how can people enjoy driving this boat. You see nothing, parking is a nightmare and what benefits do you get?

    Actual drawing of a 2018+ Chevy truck. Fucking butt ass ugly pieces of shit, like almost all new cars. I’ll go back to 2004 thanks, when cars were peak.

      If it has to be cars, I prefer the Trabant or Citroen DS style look. Those are beautiful.

      But that said… what is y’alls favourite bicycle? I personally really like the omafiets ones, they’re solid and have incredible durability. I’ve seen people easily do 15+ years with them, and they can also carry two adult people sometimes (one on the saddle, another on the luggage carrier if it’s steel).

      For brands I never buy anything but Dutch-manufactured, tbh.

    I know how to use a cross walk (the signal lights up and makes announcements here, it’s hard to get confused by it) and have still been almost hit multiple times after I started crossing. I don’t wear urban camo, people truly just don’t even look for anything except other cars. ‘Is something that can fuck me up in the way? No? Time to blindly accelerate!!’

    It’s even worse in parking lots. ‘I’m in my car now, time to go!’ with zero understanding that they just walked through the parking lot and other people might also be walking through it.

    Why do they make the grille so tall on pickups? Styling? It has to negatively affect aerodynamics. Same with visibility in front of the vehicle. Commercial trucks have big frames and huge radiators, so they just look how they have to look. I think that American car makers just style their pickups like that to make them look more like commercial trucks.

    Yessir, the more wall-like the front of the truck is, the more better it is and the more of a big strong boy the driver is.

    I have to give credit to the drawing in the OP, since they even got it right that the hood line is now higher than the rest of the midline created by the bottoms of the windows and the top of the bed.
