The kid's grown six inches in two years and still isn't tall enough to be seen over the hood of these ridiculous death machines prowling our neighborhood streets.
anyone who thinks the problem with these trucks can be solved with radars or cameras has not been paying attention
I doubt most of them are even vaguely needed for actual work
I think of them as often being variations of the go fast very low cars (and big motorcycles).
The work they seem to be doing is making their owner somehow feel better about themselves.
And maybe I'm making some assumptions...
@DeborahForPlus @DrTCombs That class used to be great for moving light to medium weight equipment around, yard equipment, and trips to the lumberyard.
The "I need a utility work vehicle that's road legal" But they've gotten so big that you might as well go up in engine class so you can do some heavy pulling too, and forget the fuel economy.
@DrTCombs the problem, as they say, is between the seat and the steering wheel.
@tob @DrTCombs it's however not where the solution is. I enjoy driving small efficient cars, but after 3 days in Florida I switched my rental to an suv so I could see. Realized why Europe has regulations on this. You still have massive trucks, but the hood is angled so you can see what's in front of you.
@DrTCombs I was thinking iron rods?
@DrTCombs I hear you, and don't disagree with a thing you're saying.
Try using them as a work vehicle? I can't get anything in and out of them, and I'm 6'.
