[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality to most truck buyers is they are like a Swiss Army knife. Can a little car make it to Snowshoe in a snowstorm as safe as a truck? No. Can you take a little car on the beach in Delaware? OBX? Long Island? No. Can you pick up a daughter from Collage and bring all her stuff home with a little car? No. Can you tow a boat for family days on a lake or river with a little car? No. Can you tow ATVs or side by sides for a fun day in the mountains in a little car? No. Can you tow a camper with a tiny car? No. Can a Fireman make it to work or home in a snowstorm in a tiny car? No. How about Police? Doctors? Tell us how a tiny car is so useful??[/quote] There is a middle ground between tiny car and monstrous truck. I’ve traveled to many ski towns and there are absolutely normal cars that make it around the mountain, you just need the right tires and AWD. Driving on the beach is trashy. I grew up in FL and hate visiting any beach that allows cars. Not everything needs to be built for cars instead of humans. Also how much crap does your kid have if you need a large car to drive their stuff home? I always managed just fine with a sedan, but I’m not a hoarder that lugs around a ton of crap. And for the rest of that stuff you can absolutely tow them with a normal size SUV. All of this is just made up excuses as to why you need some overly large car that takes up more than your share of resources. Also ATVs are stupid. I know 2 young people who died on them and these were people who rode often and knew what they were doing. [/quote] [b]People like you fill the dumpsters after classes end each year[/b]. ( Your environmental award!) Enjoy your crowded beaches with wall to wall people! The funny thing is. Pick up and SUV drivers do not care about what you drive! If you are happy with your choice of car. Great we are happy for you!![/quote] I have no idea what in the world you are talking about. My family lives in a smaller home and we are thoughtful about what we buy. I don’t even do bday party goodie bags. I’m in a walkable neighborhood where I can walk/metro many places. We only drive one car (an EV). I don’t need to pollute the environment with a mammoth gas guzzler for my hobbies. And we visit nice beaches, not trashy spring break hot spots with people tailgating on the beach and then driving home drunk. How did you bring a dorm refrigerator, microwave, mattress topper along with all the clothes girls buy home in a sedan?? I know! Toss a bunch of stuff into the dumpster! My daughter friend made at least ten trips to a storage unit in her moms sedan. City life is just not for me. I enjoy not seeing any neighbors houses. And am excited to see the new bear in my area! How do I know there is a new bear?? My trash! Again you are wrong about beaches. Carova NC is a very special place. You can only access the area by driving on the beach or by boat. The wild horses are very cool to see grazing in your yard! Check out the area on Youtube! I'm sure you love Honolulu. I prefer the Big Island. One is not better than the other. Just different... Until city folks learn to be open minded and realize it is ok for people to live the way they want to our country will be divided. I know it is hard for you to respect anyone living outside a beltway. And if your EV is a Tesla I feel for you. I would have never thought liberals would start burning and vandalizing EVs.
