Yeah, these are often the people that grumble about women having rights while they crush beer cans in their heads. The supreme assholes are the ones driving $50k+ vehicles with a little black and white flag with a blue stripe. These are the creepy ass country club motherfuckers that own businesses and have racist agendas that actually affect people due to their high status in society.

Yeah, I'm generalizing a lot here (aren't we all?) but by and large those are dog whistle symbols for hatred.

[–] Oyml77@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The "Don't Tread On Me" flag placed by these entitled assholes is what always gets me. Bitch, no one has tread on you as much as you tread on everyone else.

Lifted trucks. My assurance goes up 10x if they have rims and tires meant for the road.

[–] redsol2@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can't fit in my wife's sedan.

I'm a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y'know?

My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he's like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said "if she's gonna ride a bike in the street, she's gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn't see me"

TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.

(EU) SUVs. Are you insecure and too stupid to drive? GET A CAR 20% larger in every dimension so you can piss off the whole world with your incompetence.

NL here: Imported American trucks. You do not need a car that costs €5000/month in fuel alone that you cannot use practically in any way that a van, a regular car or even a bakfiets could do more cost-effectively. The only people who go through the effort to get such a vehicle are compensating for something, and a Dodge Ram in The Netherlands is only useful for dick measuring, and the most significant thing it'll ever move is the owner's fragile ego.

Ram Trucks. according to research, these vehicles are the most likely to be driven, and wrecked, by a drunk driver. People who instinctively idolize an animal that solves it's problems by smashing them with it's face... probably not the best people to drive near.

  • Teslas
  • Really large trucks that are clearly not being used for actual work
  • BMWs
  • Lexuses
  • Shitty little ricers that aren't fast, they're just obnoxiously loud
  • Anyone with a rented box truck (like a UHaul) driving in the far left lane of the freeway.
  • Cop cars

  • Any truck so big they can't see kids crossing the road or has to put a front tire on the side walk to not be in the street.

  • Any large truck with double wide wheels or a truckbed as clean as the day it was made.

Edit: Also a police car. I missed that the first time around.

Any truck but Dodge Ram in particular.

Easily a Tesla. Any model.

[–] wwaxwork@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll give someone with an early model the benefit of the doubt as they might not have realised the heights his assholeness would reach and may have been trying to do right by the environment, but newer models and I'm going to judge you.

Teslas. I can’t stand Tesla people. It is hilarious to watch these people drop a ton of money for total shit piles with terrible build quality and think they’re saving the planet. My sister in law is like this and I just shake my head.

This may just be confirmation bias but it seems like the majority of cars that pull out in front of me forcing me to break when they could have just waited 2 seconds for me to pass seem to be pickup trucks. Bonus points with last weeks one to do that which was also 1) driven by an elderly couple 2) swerveing all over the road, 3) driving 5 miles below speed limit, 4) had unsecured items in the back.

They do make mini-trucks which are much better for fuel mileage while having the benefits of a work truck, but like you said these people aren't buying them with fuel mileage or practicality in mind.
