Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Honestly it's pretty embarrassing for 6'1 55 year old too.
Western masculinity can be so fragile that some think consumerism is the only out of it.
Basically if you're using a pickup as a commuter vehicle..you probably don't make good life choices.
I use my truck as a truck, but it’s the only vehicle I own; with the prices of cars AND insurance AND put food on the table… forgettaboutit 🤌
Hey! That’s beside the point! 😮💨 😔
Oh for sure.
I played sports in college way back in the day, and still stay up with a lot of my old teammates. Most of us are huge, but I still give shit to every one of them that have giant trucks.
But it's still funnier when the driver of a giant truck struggles to get in/out of it and can barely see over their own steering wheel. At a certain height interior space does become a factor, but as long as you "gangster lean" you can still fit in a normal vehicle.
But I grew up on an actual farm, I've been making fun of oversized trucks since my cousin jacked his truck up so high it couldn't pull a wagon anymore. And that was back when the small truck in OPs post was sold new.
Depends on the pickup these days. There are several small options available now.
That is false for nearly everyone. Unless you are driving double the miles of an average person, the costs of a second car that is practical for 99% of your needs and a truck for that last 1% is higher than the costs of just driving the truck for everything. You have to make payments and taxes on the truck even when it sits in the driveway. You might get a small insurance discount for a truck you rarely drive, but your insurance on two vehicles is higher than just one.
People say "just rent a truck", but every time I look into that I discover rental trucks come with a lot of restrictions such that you can't use them as a truck (I expect a truck used as a truck to get paint scratches). And the cost is so high that it won't take many rentals to making having a truck the cheaper option (getting right of the car in exchange).
