It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

    The F150 isn’t even the worst offender, I’m sitting in my office looking out the window and there is a lifted wankerado in the carpark. it’s hood is up to my shoulders and I’m 5’11. They’re not a good off roader why lift them like that?

    How the fuck is that even legal.

    I used to drive an ND MX5, and when one of these cunt-mobiles was behind me I always tried to get off the line as fast as that little thing would let me because I was certain some the drivers had no idea I was there.

          I use them interchangeably… guess it’s all the yank media rubbing off on me. I don’t say trunk though, that still feels wrong.

            It creeps in doesn’t it? The one that gets me is “y’all”, which I see more and more. I prefer the good old Aussie “youse”. 🦘

              I started saying y’all ironically to make fun of Americans and now I catch myself using it unironically every now and then. I also prefer youse but for some reason it feels less formal than y’all (even though they’re both informal??). When I’m in work chats I’m more likely to use y’all but with mates I say youse. Funny stuff.

                As far as work text chats go ya’ll fills a gender neutral inoffensive spot so is getting plenty of air time at the moment.

      I drive a nc mx5, another issue is that their headlights (which are always bright white and far too bright even on low beams) shine directly into my side mirrors (and often the rear view as well) due to the height at which they are placed. Also, they are often are too close when high beams turn on automatically, which presents further problems for road awareness.
