    what are these people expecting everyone’s reaction to be when they buy these cartoonish giant clownshoes trucks?

    because i see those things and think “oh look, another sensitive douchenozzle”

      They’re probably not thinking about it as such, but rather it’s an atavistic dominance display, like a gorilla beating its chest, coming directly from the hindbrain.

    Some time ago I was standing chatting next to my vehicle in a parking lot. This was in college. About 50-60ft away was one of the lot entrances. Not too steep, though one of those that will catch a lower car if it doesn’t come in carefully. Anyway, in comes screaming a Lamborghini. The very expensive sound the bottom of that car made still makes me wish I was recording. Could’ve turned it into my morning alarm.

    I like to think me bursting out laughing still haunts the driver to this day.

    Ya know, this is a good argument for all cars to be cartoonishly oversized. That way they can only be used when absolutely needed.

    Or of course the car lobby will just push to make all the infrastructure fit around the giant gas guzzlers.
