Tricked out trucks aren't my thing. But I can see the appeal of buying a rugged vehicle and tricking it out.
To the extent that I have an axe to grind with the big truck owners, it's because some (not all, and not always) these big truck drivers:
- Drive aggressively in urban areas
- Blast their excessive lights which is a hazard for cars in front of them
- Are intentionally disruptive with their giant horns
Put more plainly - assholes seem to be drawn to such things. But I don't think they create assholes.
But for sure, where I live, there are a lot of disruptive assholes with big trucks.
- hn_user2 4y agoI live in a rural area. And I'm sure not all big truck owners tailgate. But when I am being tailgated, it is almost always by a big truck. So it is I think many people shape their view of these vehicles. It could be a tiny percentage of the owners or large trucks, but we remember these interactions of bright lights, a cloud of coal, loud horns, and someone tailgating an inch behind us.
- rayiner 4y agoThere’s also lots of assholes in BMW M3s, tricked out Hondas and other Japanese cars, and motor cycles.
- RajT88 4y agoCertainly. Just relatively fewer where I live now, compared to the trucks. Depending on where I've lived in the area, I've experienced the japanese cars more, or the BMW's more. BMW's weren't as bad when I lived in a rich town, but any flavor of SUV was really bad. If I had to pick a brand which was particularly preferred by assholes then, it would have been Lexus.
- tptacek 4y agoExceeding the asshole-ery level of M3 drivers is a high bar, so, sure. (Saying this as a former M3 owner!)
