    I’ve got a sailboat, and motorcycles. If I want to move things around I can do it easily. I’m comfortable and have plenty of room as well. Just because you’re traumatized doesn’t mean I don’t have the right to own something I can afford. I drive a tractor trailer around 6 days a week so it’s not like a pickup truck is anything more than a large car.

      You’re not gonna get much love on this forum for owning a pickup. Glad that you at least put it to use though.

      My opinion is that you don’t have a right to endanger other people for your own pleasure. It’s not just him. Many, maybe even most non-car users in the US have been hit by or had near misses with these excessively huge vehicles. They are too dangerous to drive in urban areas without a good reason. In my view they should require more rigorous licensing and be taxed heavily unless used for business purposes.

      Yeah. So it’s an emotional support vehicle that sometimes moves your toys around.

      You have the right to own it as much as I have the right to say you’re part of the fucking problem.

      I’m also going to let the trauma thing go since I implied that you had a small dick but this has less to do with that and more so my belief that you need to have a CDL to operate those vehicles. Though I’d say it’s about a 20/80 split for trauma and belief after said trauma.
