Mate, if your response to "stop being a dickhead on the road" is to build or buy a massive ego soothing vehicle, then that is entirely on you and your toddler brain. Don't try and blame other people.

    your toddler brain

    Ah yes, because insulting people instead of admitting actions can cause effects is such a marker of a developed intelligence...

    @jimbob @Tau @Taleya I don't disagree that trucks weren't as popular when "sports cars" were fun and affordable and people could drive MGs and Austin-Healeys fast on curvy roads. It's interesting to ask whether safety measures like making roads straighter and installing speed cameras has discouraged car driving and therefore encouraged more dangerous wankpanzers.
