Keep these monstrosities off our roads 🙅‍♂️

[bredroll@mas.to]

@fj big cars for big egos

[ojs@c.im]

@fj totally agree

[kensan@mastodon.social]

@fj Id much rather have Japanese Kei cars on our roads.

[quantensalat@scicomm.xyz]

@fj real men drive 350 anywqy

[ll1t@mastodon.social]

@fj that vendors even see a market potential means that diesel and gas, while being near-unaffordable for a large part of the populace atm, are still not expensive enough for too many. Also: matching efforts by EU conservatives to reduce CO2 pricing before it takes full effect. @catsalad

@fj You can’t even get a capable small truck in the US anymore. Tacomas are as big as Tundras used to be. It’s ridiculous. The hoods are so tall they suck for off-roading visibility. You lose the trail in front of you going uphill.

@fj I wish they’d be largely banned from American roads, too.

@fj
This is not an important fight for American car makers. They just make noise out of habit.

Even with the current IVA loophole, the market for supersized American cars in the EU is minuscule. If they sold well, they would make EU type approved version and would have no need for IVA.

@fj

Good!

[wronglang@bayes.club]

@fj incredible cultural insensitivity from Brussels, don't they know that the F150 is Ford's *smallest* truck in that line?

[capnthommo@c.im]

@fj good for you EU. Well done.

[s1m0n4@ohai.social]

@fj our roads aren't big enough for those monsters on wheels

[nkrook94@pixelfed.social]

Wonderful EU!

[reloadedhead@mastodon.social]

@fj why not let people decide if they want such a large vehicle or not?

[fletcherthemoose@mastodon.social]

@fj Someone who made a song and video like this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPeheoBa2_Y">Army Of Me</a> then maybe. Anybody else nah.

[teknomagic@todon.eu]

@fj I don't think those things would fit our roads

[teknomagic@todon.eu]

@fj (also that's what, three parking spaces?)

[backfromthedud@mas.to]

@fj the F150 isn't even a big truck by US standards. We don't need anything that large as a car!!

[illuminatus@mstdn.social]

@fj At least we can quantify the masculinity deficit of some people.

[richlv@mastodon.social]

@reloadedhead @fj Because they endanger others, use way more space and it also encourages driving like pricks.
Or is it just making pricks more visible?
