Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

  • l/r same bed size

  • r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading

  • r less likely to crash

  • r less fuel consumption and costs

  • r less expensive to repair

  • r easy to park

  • r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns

  • r not participating in road arms race

  • l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

      And if they said “yet I always had extra money for video games”, would you have assumed they were playing games while driving? Would “extra money for a bathroom remodel” translate into them doing the actual renovations in the passenger seat while driving?

      Imagine making the assumption that just because they can afford to drink, they obviously did it while/before driving.

      You appear to be German speaking. That is not what my comment meant: the beer was purchased on the way home and consumed in my home. We would often cross paths at the nearest gas station to the marina where I’d buy a case and they’d only be able to fill their tanks.

          Okay I was just giving you the benefit of the doubt. My mistake, clearly. I have no business being cordial given your apparent anger on this subject. So: argue into the ether over an anecdotal memory I have about having a vehicle with fuel economy that saved me money.

      Imagine thinking a straw man argument matters…

      They didn’t say anything about drinking and driving, why do you think it’s okay to assume it?
