You too can be a proud owner of a beat up truck with 200k-300k miles for 10,000 dollars that needs another 5-10k of maintenance!

Nobody says truck people bad, you're strawmanning all over this thread. I've owned two trucks, a full sized and a compact, I'm a republican and I believe that if I want to drive a 90s Kei truck and take the risk of dying in a car accident I should have the ability to assume that risk for myself. Same as driving a car from the 60s.

Funny how these supposedly unsafe vehicles come from a country with way less traffic deaths than the safer USA

Because it's cars that kill people and ours are too big, too many, and driven by every idiot.

Washington State legislature was going to reduce the number of DUIs before prison from FIVE to FOUR (not 1 like it should be), but they chose not to because it'd be "too expensive". Yup, keep feeding us into the orphan killing machine.

Yep it sucks. Even in "better" places cars still find a way to ruin things though, so it's a constant battle.
