Examples of men in television/film depictions driving small cars as being weird or emasculating.
Silicon Valley.
I think this kind of thing is really insidious. It's really common too. I can't find a picture of the other good example I am thinking of. pic.twitter.com/PMMcr9hnU4

Driving a car with such a short wheelbase is horrendous. And those small cars invariably have absolutely shitty brakes. The Smart ForTwo has a stopping distance of 124 feet.
My car โ which outweighs that one by 1,700 pounds โ has a 60-0mph stopping distance of 108 feet. Thatโs a difference of 16 feet. That is not minor. My car has saved me from several accidents in Florida that absolutely wouldโve occurred if Iโd had worse brakes.
Make a small car that doesnโt drive like a garbage can with shitty brakes, I might consider it.
