Why do so many americans buy bigass cars with terrible mileage to do grocery shopping? Do americans seriously have so much to compensate for?

Oh, Fuck Off. Most newer SUVs and trucks have decent gas mileage. Also everything is spread the fuck out here, unlike Europe. Besides, why the fuck do you care what Americans do???

No. The lower class americans have just been convinced that bigger is better. We have stupid people just like everyone else, ours are just capitalism consumer drones.

STOP TALKING ABOUT MY PENIS

We have cheap gas and we also need something big enough to fit our fat asses into.

If you live in a rural area it's more common because people need trucks to haul+tow

Fucking cityfag

trust me, we hate those redneck truck driving faggots as much as you do.

Cityfags also ruin guns for us too. Liberals and niggers equal no fun allowed

it more of a culture thing, a lot of the guys i know like big trucks because its cool. (am american)
i like my jeep better tho

Fucking this.

Current average gas price in London is $5.79. NYC is $2.22. Why not drive a big ass truck?

why are people from bigger citys so gay? we have same problem

You never know when you might need to take a heavy payload of things...particularly if the government collapses and you need to stockpile food and supplies.

>Southerner here

I have never been more proud to be American

When you live in the country, you dont give a shit about most things. Fuck yhe president, fuck the niggers and their bullshit, all you care about is you and yours. In the city, its easy. You can get a cup of coffee flavored sugar as you tweet about some new bullshit gadget you want, as you go to work and make buckets of cash being a faggot.

They dont have to be hard, so they make it hard

shit you're retarded.

>Southerner here

oh, that's why.

Checkd, and my dream is to own the F450 v10 king ranch, fully loaded.

Oh let me guess, you're some yuppie northerner?

good luck!

Maybe the women droning on about 'tiny penises' have puss' that look like this.

It's a mix between a culture and work thing. Some people just like big ass trucks and some people actually need them for work.

Who the fuck cares anyway. Stop being such a faggot.

If you want to drop 40 grand on some monster ass pickup truck, then so be it.

I wouldn't but that's mainly because I only care if my car gets me from point A to point B.

Looks like a ballsack, sans balls

not everybody on the internet is an american, you know?

kek. the only thing this needs is a couple of large fries and a extra large diet coke

Then why would they care what we drive or what part of the U.S. we're from? Oh yeah,
>petty shit

>Not american
>Calls others retarded cause they are from the american south
Guess its alright for me to assume the french are pussies who smell like shit, the english are ass ugly buck tooth blue bloods, the germans are nazis and the italians are fat wife beaters

well but assuming people from southern america are retards is factually correct.

Because murica

>Not american
>Claims to know the usa

Lemme guess, swedish cuck with a bulls semen thirst induced rage?

U posted a pi o a truck pulling hay. Lots of americans are still farmers and ranchers and need to be able to pull heavy loads and need the power of trucks to run a farm. Also i live in a place where i literally need 4x4 vehicle 7 months of the year. City people using suvs and trucks is retarded

wrong.

also, americans claim to know everything about europe pretty much all the time. ask them where latvia is and they pull out their gun.

Wow, so you are saying americans are know-it-alls about europe, while simultaneously saying you know it all about american, while being european.

Ill take irony, for 200

Id say hypocrisy is a better term, but 8/10 nice reply

so satisfying to watch you stupid americans get worked up over this thread. 10/10

well it's not like i live in a jungle, i can get whatever i need in a matter of minutes, but those "omg it's 2016 and you still dont eat gluten free" are really amazingly faggy

Well fuck! I got a french neighbor that always smells like shit and runs away when I confront it about it, only to go to work and see my german boss throwing a pizza and the odd jew in the oven, only to pass the ugly snaggletoothed neighbor down the street on the way home, and listen to the fat hairy guido smacking around his wife at night in his tacky wife beater and stained boxers.

>I know! Since i cant dispute them, ill say it was bait! The perfect crime!

It was bait from the moment I posted this.

My sides

Why do you small car fags always look into your pants and try to use that as justification?

Uh huh, go on

I was bored and decided to pick some low-hanging fruit.

Im sure you were

...

...

I drive an Expedition that's comfortable as fuck. And I don't care what gas costs because my company pays for it.

I am intrigued your so interested in me. I drive a 2004 Subaru Forester because it's awd gets good mileage and will run forever but please continue to obsess over me.

eat shit frenchie

Well it depends where you are.

>rural areas
Generally suv and trucks are bought for work and carrying capacity.
Rural americans generally hunt, fish, camp, or do things such as wood work, farming, or construction.

If the truck/suv is clean and in a suburban area, it's uaully a soccer mom who takes her son's friends to practice

If the truck/suv is clean and in a rural environment, someone hit the lottery or got a really good pay raise.

Fuck off, also subies blow headgaskets like your mom blows nigger dick

Compensating.

I have a small truck but I need it for work to haul stuff. They also come in handy for moving

Pretty much this. The wealthy realize that it's retarded to spend 30% of your income on JUST your car (loan payments, gas, insurance, etc). The lower and middle classes are happy to "fit in" and do what the media and all the pretty commercials tell them to do.

Meanwhile the smart people and the wealthy only spend a tiny fraction of their income on vehicles. They save and invest, build wealth, and then while the average Joe is super proud of his $50,000 BMW (which he's paying 1/3 of his income to drive), they're driving a $150,000 Porsche which only cut into 1/50 of their income.

Lol found the jealous fag

>Jealous
yup, u read me liek a book.

Most people that have trucks either live in houses that require a truck to move things from time to time or live in the country and actually haul things around. Some people use them for camping as well and is necessary.

I still hate cityfags that ruin it for all truck owners with their lifted trucks that never pulled shit or never touched mud.

Retarded people can't afford a truck like that.

because americans dont live in shitty ass crowded cities. we actually have land to roam and everything is spread out. some areas almost require a big truck

>Why do so many americans buy bigass cars with terrible mileage
because we are a capitalist society, not socialist like you euro fucks. we actually get money for our jobs, paymodest taxes compared to you, we aren't punished for success, we don't have all of our money taken away, our gas is cheaper, our land is vast, our cities have better roads and parking, and we simply aren't forced into valuing tiny efficient vehicles because of traffic, money, or congestion concerns. we get to drive what we want to drive as long as we can afford it.

euro fags will never understand this because they aren't american. they have no ida what it's like to actually get something they want. they always compromise.

pic related... is what i drive.

If you own your own home and maintain it yourself and have actual land to keep up you HAVE to have a truck.

>lifts truck so high bed is useless

I have an old F150, i use it to haul things & occasional oddjobs. I've never understood people who jack 50-60k trucks 50 feet off the ground to the point where putting a bag of mulch in the bed becomes and geometry equation. Those people don't fucking need a truck, they need something to tell everyone there wife runs the household & they're still a big man on the outside, fuck them.

>used to work at a restaurant supply warehouse as a loader
>predominantly mom and pop businesses shop there
>most would bring personal vehicles
>fitting $1000 of meat, sugar and flour inna F150? No problem
>fitting $1000 of meat, sugar and flour inna Camry? Hell on Earth

How can you compare your shitty jeeps against these kinds of cars

>what's a flood

Try driving that down a country road.

See

Thats usually kids and young adults saying they have more money than common sense and they are peacoking to attract a mate. Because let's face it. You can't jack up a truck like that OR get a smoking hot dumb as shit trophy wife unless you got money. I didn't get my truck till after I got married. Bought a house and needed a truck. Paid $3k for a 99 f150 with a leveling kit. It's what I need and it's not flashy. But I am going to get something newer when we pay the wife's car off. Hers is brand new. I don't need that shit.

>>Southerner here
explains everything

I purposefully modified my vehicle that was getting 30mpg around town to now getting about 12-14 on high octane fuel. How does that make you feel?

Im not a huge fan of American cars but you literally cannot claim euro superiority anymore. American cars outperform euros on the track and they sell for much cheaper. They used to just be cheaper but they realized they had to step up their game.

>mustang gt350r vs any euro performance coupe under 200 grand
>cadillac ctsv vs m3/5 and mercedes amg sedans

also
>corvette z06, hellcat challenger/charger, camaro zl1, etc

> try experiencing a little gravel

I think it can handle it you know there's country in Europe as well right? Not everything had been paved over

fucking Americans are stupid

Try not having the shittiest roads of any advanced country

Wrong faggot.

I tow a 5th wheel that weighs 22000# loaded one or two times a week.

Your fiat can barely drive up a steep hill.

Euro cars are meant to handle great on turns
American cars are meant to get you there quickly

You realize that's a $40k truck right? And it's not even new. It's worth that now.

How often is that?
also leave b4 flood

> my truck is worth money therefore I'm not dumb

Ok buddy go play with your blocks

Eurocars also must get high mpg. They trade air quality for mileage (diesels).

Not my truck but in my experience stupid people don't typically make a lot of money. And just because you're southern that's doubly true as most of our stupid people spend all their money on meth. The payment alone to finance something like that would eat up some peoples whole paycheck. Not to mention insurance and tag fees. Having a truck like that requires some serious income.

They'll also never understand declaring bankruptcy because someone in their family got sick and their insurance won't cover their bills.

Or student debt?
Americans are materialistic whores.
All show and no substance.
Myself included.

Not saying wuropoors are any better but at least they understand what benefits society and not egos.

The issue with that is the gap. Assuming that someone buys a $100,000 car and makes $1,000,000/yr, they payments won't really be an issue. But average individual income across the board is somewhere around 50k/yr depending on which state youre in, and if you want to buy a new car (which most people have to based on how spread out cities in America are) you have to spend at LEAST $15,000, and thats for a piece of shit with manual everything. Even if you buy used, $10k is still going to get you something with around 100 thousand miles on it. Cars keep getting more expensive, and income isn't rising at a comparable rate, so people who make less money have to spend a larger percentage of their income to get a lesser product.

>how often is that
Often enough if you stay under sea level; I've seen many vehicles fall victim to flooding and many lifted trucks breeze right past them

Or pull them out.

> stupid people don't make a lot of money

Weird how so many preachers in America are millionaires then

Idiots will pay idiots

Idiot

also a 40k car isn't so expensive it would eat up an entire paycheck unless you work for McDonald's the average new car costs 32k the average new truck is 38k

Congratulations that's an average truck with some modifications

> serious income
Kek

The average income in America is not 50k a year actually it's 27k

And it's lowering

Great job Americans let's give them a round of applause

I do agree that the wealth/income gap is an issue (a *fucking* major issue that will start affecting day-to-day life soon, within years not decades) but most people still choose to drive cars well beyond their means.

My brother was earning $24,000/yr + bonus so about $30k. He went out and bought a Jeep ($38k) and spent another $6k or so on suspension mods. I know plenty of people who earn, say, 40 grand yet drive $50,000 cars. There are good, cheap, reliable options for between $5-15k yet people still feel like they need to have the newest, shiniest, most gimmicky car rather than getting a 6 year old Civic or Corolla.

The wealth gap is a problem. But I think the stupidity and consumer addiction (aka can't distinguish between needs and wants) of the average American is just as big of a problem.

I own 2 big ass diesel trucks.
>pull trailer everyday, about
>3 kids, a wife and a dog..we like to all go do stuff together and bring our boat along
>with out pulling a load my trucks get 20-25 mpg
>my trucks profited me $117,000 in 2015
Does that answer your question faggot op?

Because we can. If you like driving your cuckmobile then that's fine by me.

does it fucking matter, its your money

if you want to buy a truck cool, if you want a kia rio, cool

why do people care how others spend their money?

>. But I think the stupidity and consumer addiction (aka can't distinguish between needs and wants) of the average American is just as big of a problem.

life is shit, then you die. nothing wrong with people spending their money trying to make it less shit

why do people hate others for trying to enjoy the few years they have on this planet, why do you want people to live like mindless slaves, working and hording money instead of spending and enjoying themselves

They're extremely reliable, powerful, useful when you have to haul crap, as comfortable as luxury cars, look cool, and are affordable. Gas is super cheap too. But if I had to pay 10 euros per liter of petrol, I would choose a vauxhall astra over a King Ranch f150.

Equally as retarded

Because I'm 6'10 and have 2 kids. Even with big vehicles, putting carseats behind me still sucks.

Not by a long shot.

nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/

why the fuck does Murica not love the Maloo?
>> STRAYA CUNT

also expanding on that, see how many US cars are in the top100 altogether to get a clear picture of how inferior US cars are overall.

This

...

How about a list with production vehicles only, eurofag. Lots of heavily modified non-street legal european cars on there.

Australia does get some pretty cool Ford and Toyota variants that we don't get here in the states.

>TFW I'll never get to drive a diesel Hilux

Apologies, I misquoted the stat. It's 50k/yr/family
While we both agree that wealth gap is an issue, there also has to be some level of personal responsibility. I make 40k/yr and bought a $15,000 vehicle and I make my payments and spend within my means. While it does suck that people don't make as much money as they should based on inflation, that doesn't mean that its okay to spend like you're making the money that you should be. Your brother spent more than he should have, and I'm sure he pays for that elsewhere (like groceries or rent)

mericans gotta transport their hippo families don't they

In that picture, the truck is being used to pull a heavy trailer. Seems legit.
