The thing I hate the most about my province (Quebec), the passion people have for pickup trucks. It's a fucking obsession, and it's a subject that cant even be discussed, the right of owning one of those is almost the first article of our constitution.

I don't mind passion from a hobby perspective. Some people are passionate about sports, coding, radios, plants, stamps etc. It's okay to be passionate about cars and trucks, just don't daily drive these if you want people to respect you. Same with stanced cars.

The problem as I see it is that these modded ones are pushed as still being practical when they are really only big toys. Have you ever noticed that jacked up trucks rarely have caps or toolboxes on the beds? The extra height takes away the utility of the bed and loading/unloading anything is a pain in the ass. They pour all this money into making their truck less useful.

I've driven big F-250s for work. They have a time, a place and a purpose. And that is not as a daily driver for most people.

Et je commence à voir beaucoup de "coal runner", ou/et avec des pneus surdimensionné suspension élevé etc... Toutes des modifications illégale mais pourtant t'en vois partout. Sont-ils si riche qu'ils peuvent se payé des contraventions en continu où la police fait rien ?

J'en ai vu un sur le boulevard Pi-IX, le gars a "enfumé" une quunzaine de personnes qui attendaient l'autobus. Sérieux.

Moi aussi je me demandais comment autant de gens peuvent se payer des tanks de même, vu le prix, jusqu'à ce qu'un ami qui travaille en administration m'explique que la plupart des gens qui en ont font juste s'enregistrer une entreprise et le mette dessus. Même pas besoin de faire des vrais affaire avec ton entreprise, tu déclares des revenues négatifs et tu ramasses plein de crédits pour ton char. Bref, c'est nos impôts qui finance les gros chris de pickup du monde.

Ben câlisse, comment ma apporter mon épicerie à maison sans un char d'assault?

J'ai plus souvent rencontrer ça dans les régions. J'ai un pick-up mais par nécessité. (4 flos)

On en voit de plus en plus en ville. Les gens utilisent leur pickup pour aller à l'épicerie. Mon voisin travaille de chez lui sur un ordi et a un pickup.
