Even the worst among us sacrifice

  They haven’t given up here. I’ve seen zero decrease in the amount of Emotional Support Truck douchebaggery in my daily outings. And there’s no doubt in my mind that these are the same people angrily ripping the Trump “I did that!” stickers off the gas pumps.

  Anyone who drives one of these things voluntarily can stfu about the price of literally everything.

    It’s been a few months since I’ve had a truck come up behind my mom mini suv mobile and honk and rev angrily for literally no reason, and that was a weekly occurrence for the last handful of years. They can’t stand people people do the literal maximum speed limit in the right lane for some reason

      If you have a rear windshield washer sprayer, see if you can angle it straight backwards so it sprays on them.
      Bonus points if you make the washer fluid yellow.

      You shouldn’t be in the left lane if you’re doing the speed limit for more than a mile.

    Yeah as a small farm owner who actually needs and uses a truck. These guys are the highest level of cringe.

    And they’re tbe same people that were snidely putting the Biden versions on the pumps a few years ago.

    • wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Even though gas prices were already high when Biden took office, and he brought them down. But somehow it was still his fault.

      And then they’re back to some semblance of normal by the time trump takes office, after which they proceed to skyrocket. Naw, still Biden’s fault. Somehow.

    My entire business is turning gasoline into the money I need to live, f350 work truck included. Got really lucky finding a 5.4 in the 1 ton frame, 25 years old, and it’s still an absolute dog on fuel. And now I also have the shame of people thinking the truck is because my dick is little, which I feel any time I don’t have equipment on a trailer. At least I kept the Subaru for groceries?

      You may be able to offset that judgement by keeping your truck slathered in mud and always having at least five ladders hanging off it. Says, “Shut up, I actually use this!”

    What I find hilarious is I’ve had my finger on the car market pulse as I’m looking to get a another vehicle between now and 2028 (electric, I’ll never own a gas vehicle again. An older unneutered diesel maybe, but never increasingly ethenol diluted American petrol)

    The dealers near me hit a brick wall according to the websites I’ve been using, selling almost zero trucks since unleaded prices tipped past $4.⁰⁰ locally, and before that they were moving about 50% of their new stock of +$60,000 trucks each month, with over 85% moving before the 6 month mark which is frankly just danmed impressive that so many people can get that credited in this region

    It’s pretty laughable to drive about here and see a brand new 2026 GMC top trim truck in front of a 900ft² 1960’s delapitated on-slab

  I’ve started to see what looks like an european version of the F150 called ford ranger in here in Italy. In fucking Florence of all places!

  i mean, have you ever played Assassin’s creed 2? THAT Florence, because the old part of the town is virtually identical. And you bring such a beast here? Mate, there are streets here that are too narrow for a bloody Smart! And you pretend to drive that here? You are just that dumb, right? How small and insecure must make your tiny dick feel to buy a fucking american truck to drive in a town like this?!

  • LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    The ranger is just another truck made by ford, not really a European specific thing. We see them here in the US. It’s smaller than the F150.

    source

    • Pat_Riot@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Though the current Ranger is pretty close to the size of an F-150 from the 90s. Rangers used to be small like the S10 Chevy or Mazda B2200.

      The F150 is BIGGER?! And here I was thinking you must be a special kind of idiot to buy that kind of truck… turns out there’s an even specialer kind of idiot who buys an even bigger one…

      It competes with the Toyota Tacoma. Fairly reasonable trucks. Pretty much always for work

  • hansolo@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I think I saw some dipshit with one there last year. I just figured it was the kid of the owner is the local Ford dealership. Surely no one else would spend money on one and drive it into city center, other than for the spectacle alone… right? Surely this just one guy, right?

    What’s funny is how relatively rare the VW Amarok is in Europe. Buy local for your shitkicker pickup truck!

      The only Amaroks I’ve ever seen here in the Netherlands were military camo green.

    They aren’t uncommon across the Alps here in France. I would hate to have to park one literally anywhere here.

    Yeah, there was a Ford Ranger plant here in Minnesota. We couldn’t get someone to turn it back into a factory. Now, it’s turned into condos. And it seems like Boomers are the biggest buyers who are little bitches when we want a taproom for some reason.

  I drive a dinky little kia soul in an area dominated by pavement princess jeeps and dick compesator Ford duelies. Nothing makes my morning commute better than watching the guy in the huge lifted truck get tilted when they can’t hit speed from a red light as fast as I can. You can literally feel their “custom engine work” wheezing as they push it to get up to 40. It’s so fucking stupid to watch these idiots try to force something twice the size and built for hauling bricks to move as quickly as a cardboard box with adhd. I’m not even moving fast, they just can’t stand to be second to something that takes any level of confidence to be seen in.

  Lately though they’ve stopped trying and over found an even more satisfying situation. Occasionally I’ll start to roll and witness the beast next to me roar and lurch only to pitter back down as they realize they can’t afford to even try at this point. Slowly creeping through the intersection like a moment of inefficiency in fuel use will send them spiraling into destitution.

  I know what it’s like to be truely poor, and I’ll do anything within my power to make sure no one ever has to experience that, but from time to time I allow myself the sick indulgence of watching people who called for suffering experience their choice first hand.

    I love zipping past octane BMW, Audi or Mercedes Cars in my dingy little VW eUP at the traffic light:)
    So satisfying to get in front of them and then maintain the speed limit religiously.

  I saw an odd site yesterday. It was a lifted 2020’ish Ram 2500 with all of the features added to make it say “I am very bad ass”. This included as large of an American flag as is allowed. Here’s the kicker - the flag was upside down. I’m still unsure if this was a statement piece, or a moron.
