Still see plenty of those out in western Canada.
Seeing more and more in Australia as well. Way too big for our roads.

Pfff that car ain't even street legal in my country.
Some dude drives on of those where i live. I've never seen it move, it's always parked on the same spot where it doesn't fit. Completely with aouthern state flag and stickers that say that only gay cops pull him over and how every car that is not a v8 is for girls. I'd be so embarrassed to drive that thing.
I got more compliments from women while I was driving my 1.4L inline 4 Honda in a week than I got in 10 years with a 4.2L Ford V8.
So yeah, V8s attract men. Sensible cars are for girls.
Clearly he's trying to attract a gay male cop

So by his logic a Lamborghini Aventador is for girls.

where i live, which is in the south, every 3 cars is one of these, they lift suvs too, so that increases the odds. when cops clock out they also drive one of these, even the gay ones. driving it is no big deal, its how they drive and what they do with it, usually road raging other road users, intimidating them, and trying to run them off the road, in other words bullying and intimidation, which is likely why they own one in the first place. why do they feel a strong desire to bully or intimidate anyone? that's a great question. why do you have to knock out the biggest guy in jail to get any respect? ...................

Either way, around here I almost always see both end up doing stupid shit on the road. I don't give a fuck what you're driving. Obey the rules of the road, follow the flow of traffic, be aware of your surroundings, and for fucks sake, signal properly and clearly! Nobody's in a race. We can all get where we're going safely and timely if y'all just stop acting like you're escaping a war zone!

I've seen 4 rams around my town drivers all look the same, they're all very clean, never seen it parked as they can't fit it anywhere one guy did get stuck and laughed at in his big yellow truck by a lot of people last time I've seen him
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.
A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want ... I'm in Spain, there's a few about. They're basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

Ain't that the truth. I'm constantly fighting this fight in my own city where we only get bike gutters, not even lanes. Complain complain complain from the people who claim they care about the neighborhood.
The thing I hate the most about my province (Quebec), the passion people have for pickup trucks. It's a fucking obsession, and it's a subject that cant even be discussed, the right of owning one of those is almost the first article of our constitution.
I don't mind passion from a hobby perspective. Some people are passionate about sports, coding, radios, plants, stamps etc. It's okay to be passionate about cars and trucks, just don't daily drive these if you want people to respect you. Same with stanced cars.
The problem as I see it is that these modded ones are pushed as still being practical when they are really only big toys. Have you ever noticed that jacked up trucks rarely have caps or toolboxes on the beds? The extra height takes away the utility of the bed and loading/unloading anything is a pain in the ass. They pour all this money into making their truck less useful.
I've driven big F-250s for work. They have a time, a place and a purpose. And that is not as a daily driver for most people.
'Round here we call em pavement princess. Drive like they own the place, but never done a day's work.

I'm 24 now and don't own a car. :)
So.....? Do you NEED a car? I didnt had a car until 34 because I didnt need one. The only reason I got one was because I moved in a different city and kind of had no choice. But I had many many bikes.
Same, turning 25 in a month, still no car
Primarily because I'm very fucking poor and just getting the license costs over 2000โฌ already
You know what's funny, I recently read a CNBC business article that said auto-makers are saying consumers aren't buying enough electric and hybrid vehicles. That supply has outpaced demand. You know what they're not going to do, drop prices like basic economic theory says they should. According to auto-makers the problem wasn't that they over estimated how popular their products are, the problem is the consumers not living up to their expectations. If we were good little consumers we'd just take on more debt but apparently we're not cooperating.

Is this a trick question?
The obvious choice is the truck. Take the truck and sell it. And then buy a bike, car and down payment on a house.
My car is closer in size to the bicycle than the truck.
Also, most of these trucks around here have an orange triangle at the back and are driven by teenagers.

too bad the truck doesn't have nuts
Giant trucks may maximize traffic fatalities and carbon emissions, but bicycles make me feel guilty, so it's impossible to say which is worse.
