This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

One of these has definitely hauled more than the other, and i guarantee you it's not the ford.

Lots of people in this thread shitting on some random person. What’s the point of all this? Y’all are acting like the Ford driver is an ass hole but from the evidence in this thread I don’t think they are the ass hole here.

Have you started noticing some cars are now the same height level of a semi truck? These people are so ridiculous.

What's crazy, is that you'll never see any of these large Utes which are dirty. But, many of the same people who buy a vehicle with such high high clearance are also the exact people who exaggerate the size of potholes around, and the cost of EV's (despite paying a huge amount in petrol and servicing that would dwarf the cost of battery replacements in 15 years).

I get a kick out of watching the immaculate shiny “pavement princesses” frantically dodging manhole covers. Not even potholes, just those barely perceptible round metal manhole covers that my little Honda Fit merrily rolls over with nary a whimper.

(The actual ranch trucks just nonchalantly barrel over everything, I’m talking about the pristine city-only ones.)
