Default I am so glad I am not this stupid

This is not photoshopped in anyway-even seeing it in person I couldn't belive the difference. With gas, parking, driveability-whatever-I am glad that I don't need somethig like this to represent my acceptance and need for approval from society.

I love my Scion!

So now I know what my driveway is gonna look like next year. I plan on buying a Tahoe or an Armada next year...
The truck will ONLY be driven on the weekends when I go out with my family though!

dude, some people just like big vehicles. similar to how some people like smaller vehicles, some people like faster vehicles some people like low riders, muscle cars etc.

if that is how they chose to spend their money, then so be it, it is theirs to do with as they please and not yours. and who knows maybe they have a huge family and regularly tow a trailer.

so unless you know the owner personally is a douche bag who is over compensating, there is nothing to go on with in this thread.

does it look rediculous, kinda like how a drug dealer would set up their SUV, yeah, but to each their own.

I work for a magazine that runs all ads for used car dealers. Half of the cars are gas guzzling domestics. It makes me sick to run ads for fuel inefficient cars day in and day out, but it's a living.

Actually this person, or should I say her husband, is compensating. Notice they can't even fit the thing in regular sized spot or park it safely next to the road-yeah, I might be a little biased because I run into people like this (with these sized vehicles when they don't use or need them) everyday in places where they cannot park them and so they take up a spot and a half and all of that for one person to pick up one child at school or for a woman to impress her friends at Macy's.

I totally understand the need for some people to have vehicles like this-I was more just talking about people like this with no need who waste space, gas whatever and with no regard for the others around them.

Personally I like the Titan truck and the Armada but I have no need for either, my GF wants an xterra and she has her reasons.

I also just don't get the people who get a huge 4wd (you know for traction) and throw low profile no traction tires on it and then pull over when it rains or snows??????

I love how people can judge that dude when you have Scions on here that have had thousands of dollars worth of mods. He can probably afford the gas, plus it's none of our concern really. Post that need to be accepted speech next time you see a 'Look at my x*/tC!' thread.

The only reason I hate SUVs are: low MPG (if everyone had a 32 mpg car like the Tc would we be still paying almost $5/gal right now?), can't see through its windshield (on the freeway especially during stop-go traffic you can't tell whether you should be slowing down or pass the _______ SUV because he's going slow, also I get the guy in the SUV doing the "I'll go fast and then when I am about to hit the guy in front of me who is stopped turn into the carpool lane leaving the blind person behind the SUV 30 ft to go from 50 to 0", always see them parked in the compact spot effectivly taking up 3 spots because no one wants their car dinged, even they are meant for off roading and everything the person driving must go over the speed bumps in parking lots at 1mph, etc. Even though people have the money to buy a huge SUV doesnt mean they should, if they need it I can understand but ATLEAST 60% of all SUVs never drive on anything but asphalt or haul anything.

That's more where I was going with this too. Traffic, parking, the room they take up trying to turn left so you cannot get past, the fact they slow down when the weather gets bad and these a-hole people around here who cause these problems and then they get mad at you because you can actually get through traffic or slot into a parking spot without having to try 3 point turning a few times.

The photo was more just because it was insane looking-the commentary was because I get fed up with inconsiderate people and with a vehicle like this, these inconsiderate people (not just anyone who has a big vehicle) just are that much worse.

Nah, if you need it you need it-the family with 1 little kid and no pets that clog up everything are the ones I despise especially when they get all uppity.....it's like that a lot around here.
