So my curved front sports car is totally safe to ram into pedestrians with?

    I'd rather be hit by that at 20 MPH instead of a full duty lifted pickup with a fresh shiny paint job on chrome wheels (mall crawlers)

    I don't think pickup trucks should be banned. They should be commercial use only. It's not a family car or a daily driver.

    Fuck mall crawlers

    And then there is the SUV class. Aka the non-passenger work vehicle family passenger vehicle.

    So they passed laws for emissions and fuel efficiency of passenger vehicles to help with pollution.

    These laws force MPG ratings on sedans and SUVs. But they're looser for trucks. Car manufacturers realized its also looser since its calculated by weight.

    So these fuckers decide to build SUVs on pickup truck frames and make pickups even bigger so they don't have to tighten up the fuel efficiency...

    This is one of the main reasons there are so many bigger class vehicles being made now.

    Add in all the new LED headlights. Which are too bright because the regulations are outdated based on wattage instead of lumens.

    So you have taller vehicles with brighter headlights blinding everyone.

    I'm at the point where I'm aiming for a SUV instead of a sedan for my next car...
