  I’ve often wondered…people a who drive those huge pickup trucks, does being in the vehicle somehow turn you into an obnoxious, aggressive douchebag, or do you have to take a personality test at the dealership?

    I think it’s the other way around. Being an obnoxious, aggressive douchebag makes you more likely to drive a huge pickup truck

      That’s what the personality test is for. Or better yet, they grade you during the test drive. You can score lower rates or discounts depending on how many other drivers you cut off, tailgate, or hi beam. Heck, if you manage to run a Prius off the road you get the truck for free and a hundred bucks!

    It’s a law of nature, like how you can spot prey animals by their lateral eye-placement. You can spot a douche by the height of their axle.

      Axle height is directly related to tire size which means it’s easily readable. Therefore, iy would be easy to create a chart or graph.

    I spent a dozen years managing auto service centers from '87-'99. Chevrolet Z-71 owners were by far the biggest dickheads I had to deal with on a daily basis. Back then, Ford and Dodge truck owners were all just fairly normal folks, but something about those Z-71’s seemed to attract the most extreme shitwillies…

    I heard a radio segment about this but it was about expensive/premium brands like BMW, Audie and Ferrari. Apparently it’s a very psychological thing where driving an expensive car makes you feel entitled and you start driving like a douche, even if you know it will happen to you. This was many many years ago so I do not remember his name so do what you will with the info. But I do think there can be some truth in it, because power do corrupt and we have seen that happened many times. But I think you do need to have a special mindset to buy those huge trucks if you only drive them on asphalt.

    But I can imagine looking down on everyone and taking up a lot of space makes them feel special/better than the rest.

      Based on my lived experience I don’t think it’s as much as the brand as it is the horsepower available to you, I have owned a Kia Stinger briefly, that’s a fucking Kia, even though Albert Biermann former head of BMW’s M division helped create it, but it had a V6 engine and 370hp stock, if you put your foot down it roared and kept pulling even above 160km/h.

      The thing was I bought it as a weekend fun car, but shortly after I had to change work and needed to commute to work and let me tell you, it’s hard to drive a car like that calmly. There was even a psychological effect that “I can’t let this Ford Craprerra overtake me”

      And yeah, with that amount of power at your feet, everyone else is in the way and blocking you.

  some people just like to smell their own farts.

  others need to be forced to smell the farts of others to truly understand what it’s like to walk a mile in another man’s underwear.
