13 paragraphs, and only one has a justifiable reason anyone should give a shit what anyone else drives - fuel economy. I don't have a truck. I don't get the appeal. It would be totally impractical for my life. I think it's a stupid purchase for people who don't do work that requires a truck. But I'm not their Dad or anything, so I don't really bother myself with their choices. This article is just the author telling me about himself, it says nothing about trucks nor their drivers.

> only one has a justifiable reason anyone should give a shit what anyone else drives - fuel economy. I give a shit about what other people drive. I hate trucks with a passion because they are: bigger, taller, heavier, slower, and handle poorly. They are dangerous for other road users for all those reasons. Larger vehicles do a disproportionate amount of wear and tear on road surfaces. Another strike against trucks. Lastly (aside from fuel economy), they're likely to be lifted or have accessories like tow mirrors on trucks that never tow a thing. Trucks are stupid, impractical garbage boxes for the vast majority of people who own them __in urban areas__. I freaking hate trucks.
