One thing that’s mystifying about the rise of SUVs and mega pickups. Smaller cars are MUCH more fun to drive. Maneuvering some behemoth around in a city/suburb setting just objectively sucks

That puzzles me too. Driving those lumbering monstrosities is extremely unpleasant and awkward. Many people drive them nearly-exclusively in cities or urban areas where they are impossible to park and don’t even fit in the lanes properly.

How do they tolerate it? And why? It all just makes no sense. Is it that important to look tough and manly (even if you’re a woman)?

Had a dream I was on a commercial flight and the ACAS alarm was sounding. I was the only passenger who knew what it was. That would not be a good sound to hear in real life.
