Memes

I have an ancient tiny pickup (don't get me started on EVs or how a van is better, I'm aware but poor and I don't live/work in a city) and I'd say about 1-2 times a week when daily driving I'll get mocked by someone with a giant, lifted, accent-lighted, chrome-trimmed, perfectly-unscathed monstrosity. Usually some form of homophoplbic slur to describe my vehicle choice.

I fill up for less than half the price, and I fit right next to most regular cars. I still park out in the empties because I don't like being next to other vehicles, but I don't have to.

Honestly I'd love an EV with a minivan size profile, truck clearance, and the enclosed rear is all cargo space. Literally all of my hobbies and work things would fit in it, and since I live on a hill in the middle of fields, I get a lot of wind and solar.

Of course, I'd love it even more if I could take a nap on a train with space for an equipment cart while I travel half an hour to work, but the next ice age will happen before passenger trains become that widespread.
