Last night I was travelling home around 10pm or so in my Jeep Grand Cherokee (the weather was less than clement, so I thought to be prepared was the proper course). Whilst I was stopped for a red light, an enourmous chevy pickup pulled up behind me.
This dudes headlights were shining directly into my rear view mirror. I hate that…thankfully my mirrors in the jeep have this fancy-dandy auto-darken feature.
Now remember how I said that I was in a Grand Cherokee; my GC has an extra two inches on it to facilitate sturdier tires (in order to access our family’s backcountry property where we camp often), so in no way was I in a low vehicle (in fact the jeep is a little bigger than I’m comfortable with in ordinary situations), but this mo-fo had to have had a good eighteen inches higher than my jeep is (well beyond what’s legal in Utah).
After leaving the stop light, this fellow passes me and I was able to see that, not only is his axle no higher than mine, it’s actually lower. That silly lift cant be practical can it?
Not only is this fellow one who simply must be seated above everyone else, he was also one of those assholes who drive with their brights on…
you can imagin how thrilled I was to be parked in front of him for thirty seconds… I can’t imagine what kind of torment his truck must be to people in ordinary cars…
then again, this ding-dong’s truck just might be high enought to shine his lights clean over your average passenger car!
I really don’t like big trucks.
Especially in the city.
And it seems like every third driver in Utah just HAS to have one.
bahumbug.
These behemoths scream to me “I’m more important than you, I can consume as much of the world’s oil as I want, and y’all can take a flying f*ck if you don’t like it”
What bugs me most is people drive them as their daily vehicle. A truck is meant for hauling things. There simply is no need to have one for any other reason.
Tyler, it’s not that there are that many small “dinghys” but, in reference to the fat threads, I think it’s the same problem. It’s a perception of a perceived flaw which never existed to begin with.
