Would you rather make more money per unit product or less money per unit product?
well yea, that's obviously why they do it.
doesn't make it good.
Change the laws. If it is a truck you should have to get a CDL, have to go to weight stations, cant drive on the parkway etc. If it is a car it should have to follow the emission rules cars have. There is no point in having standards if we make exceptions so big you can drive a cough.....sports utility vehicle....cough through.
Edit: of course we can pretty much end the pickup market tomorrow if we provide free therapy for men with a micropenis.
I am sure car companies spend a ton of money lobbying politicians to never do this.
Fine whatever. I will start leaving notes in the bed of gas guzzling pickups that say "sorry about the micropenis you feel you need to compensate for"
that would be a great way to undermine your entire cause.
some people just prefer larger cars, and pivoting to some bizarre comment about their genitalia is an incredibly stupid way to go about dealing with the issue.
I was just about to say the same thing to the person you were replying to.
Immature responses doesn't convince anyone of anything.
Oh woah is me. The small dick energy crowd won't be on my side. Oh woah is me woah is me.
Woe*
lol good luck with that
I'm now hearing your comment in a 'Bill and Ted' type voice.
On a serious note, if you want to win people over to your cause, try not to insult them, but instead convince them.
Nah I don't want small dick energy crowd on my side.
Literally the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You clearly don't know what a CDL is, don't understand the function of weigh stations, and for that, actual trucks that require them have had emission systems for a long time now.
Could you give the rest of us a quick education on what that is?
2 secs with Google would show you it's a Commercial Driver's License. Used for Commercial Vehicles which have a gross weight of over 26k lbs, or required to tow a trailer over 10k lbs GVR. But I'm sure you already knew that. Weight stations are for weighing vehicles that qualify as CMV's and / or that are subject to the FMCSR's, hence the 3 little red lights in the back of them, but again, you knew that.
For those that (actually) didn't know, there ya go.
I'n never sure though that the initials a person is using is for the same thing that comes up as the first item on a Google search, so I like to ask the person instead.
I wouldn't have bothered asking if I did.
Not sure how I pissed you off, but I really didn't know.
As someone who didn't know, thank you.
You must be lots of fun at parties.
Sorry dude, moving quick and didn't realize you weren't the original guy that said that stupid shit. Eternity is a terrible app. I have no issues explaining shit to people who actually didn't know. Yes, I'm awesome at parties, especially when drunk.
Fair enough, thanks.
Good to hear. That's important, especially these days.
Boring.........sorry you were shortchanged down there.
Shortchanged on what? Reality?
