There’s a lot of country outside of whatever starbucks downtown you happen to live in - where it snows, rains, municipal services clean roads “eventually” if ever, before it melts on it’s own, and household shopping doesn’t fit in prada purse.
- kube-system 3y agoI've lived there. And those places had vehicles 30 years ago, when they were all much smaller. And if you've ever been to places where the roads really aren't plowed, people don't buy bigger trucks for that weather, they buy snowmobiles.
- VincentEvans 3y agoI am sorry, apparently there’s only one way to make choices and I was doing it all wrong, so has everyone else who doesn’t have either an electric vehicle or a snowmobile. Never mind that I am writing this while on the side of the mountain and I plow my driveway myself with a diesel truck, you know better.
- kube-system 3y agoWe're not attacking your personal preferences, we're pointing out that vehicles have grown in size, and necessity is not the reason they've grown. My old 70s C/K pushed a plow just fine, despite being 50" less in length, 8" shorter, and ~1000lbs lighter than the typical new F150.
