    Now imagine that it was a sedan doing a carpool. Fuck everyone who drives a truck to commute around town. Fuck everyone who thinks, I’ll buy a truck because I’ll be safer. I hope gasoline goes up to $15 per gallon and every truck driving piece of shit has to choose between eating or driving because of their moronic vehicle buying decision.

          Look here bud, that’s not much of an insult. Seeing as how anyone can be a potential child murderer. Just as easily anyone can be a potential billionare, just as anyone could be a potential athlete or potential homeless person. Every one has potential to be what ever the fuck they want.

            anyone can be a potential child murderer

            You just decide to multiply your chances by 10 while spending double in your vehicle and in fuel for literally no reason

            Wtf are you talking about? Lol. Buying a child killing machine is a conscious choice that also costs that person double or more on the purchase price, gasoline, tires, oil and other maintenance. You have to overlook all of that and still say, I don’t care that there’s no way I would see a child right in front of my truck. I’m still going to make a terrible financial decision because I’ll be more protected and more likely to kill someone else. I got mine!

            Look here bud, that’s not much of an insult.

            Jesus fucking Christ man. Take a look at yourself. You don’t think being called a child murderer is much of an insult. Fucking wow

              Nah, all you priks and your shit attitudes regarding pickup trucks is pissing me off. So instead of huffin and puffin, I’ll just get me a new truck. Because I can. Yall act like every pick up driver is 100% guaranteed to kill your kids/dogs/grandma’s the moment they leave the lot. Yall act like pick ups are these thirsty fuel guzzlers. Funny my loaded 2011 3500 cummins gets better fuel economy than my 2023 highlander with a 4cylinder. And I don’t even have to pay premium in the cummins. What else. O my truck insurance is $250 dollars less than toyota. And guess what quotes for new trucks are 150$ less… tires? Tire cost less because I can put on a set of LT rated tires they will last longer and can get better deals on them. My trucks have needed so little maintenance over the years that when I took the new car i was Hella unprepared for that headache.

          Lol you didn’t even ask a question.

          You told a bunch of people to fuck themselves.

            Well you’re responding to a thread that did have a question in it and then pointing at the original comment instead of the one with a question.

            That being said, you’re still correct. If you drive a truck without a specific use that you use it for almost every day then go fuck yourself.

            Is that clear now?

              Well you’re responding to a thread that did have a question in it

              No I’m not. There is no question in this thread.

              Not unless you’ve edited one of your comments to add one after I made this comment.

              Is that clear now?

              Ok fine, now there’s one rhetorical question.

              Nothing was ever unclear.

              Trucks r bad grrr. I get ya brother.

              Best to tell people to fuck themselves and see if they react calmly and rationally. If they don’t, be sure to act like it’s pretty telling.

                Was referring to the question further down. Thought you were responding to that one not the main comment. My bad!

                Yes, the people who are so rational and calm that they purchase vehicles specifically designed to kill toddlers and hurt other people when traffic accidents occur. Making a conscious decision to spend double or more on purchase price, gasoline, tires, oil and other maintenance just so they can say, fuck you I got mine. Rational and calm people who, when given the chance of a car crash only causing injuries to both parties, they’d prefer to kill the other people as long as they don’t get hurt. How dare I be mean to them!

                Next time you see someone going out of their way to hurt others make sure to ask them kindly to stop. You wouldn’t want to be too assertive and make them upset. I can’t imagine anything worse. Well, maybe running over a toddler with a vehicle that was intentionally made to have less visibility than an Abrams tank. But that’s just me. At least certain people don’t need to worry about driving safely because they’re more protected than everyone else. Pretty good trade off, right?

                    Lol, I enjoy the nonsense most folks preach on this platform, so many of them are out of touch with reality that it makes me actually believe that most people online are in fact bots and basment dwellers. Just bench racers at end of the day.

      If it was a sedan doing a car pool they’d probably all have been decapitated… So him having a truck saved his life

      Dunno what your argument is but it’s kinda insane

        If that’s a risk, do you not have underrun bars?

        But also as someone else said they meant if it was a regular car instead of the bus, not the truck.

        If you drive up the arse of a goddamn school bus with that much stopping distance you deserve to hurt only yourself, not the kids in the back of that bus.
