In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn't fit in many places around here it's owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.
You could ALMOST Christmas Vacation that Miata under the Denali.
Parked illegally you say? Call the cops on him (anonymously). Every time. He can learm or he can pay.
Denali is a trim level not a model, that’s a Sierra 2500 HD.
The Denali badge is just an extra “fuck you, look at my money” on top of the everything else going on here.
You mean "look at my massive truck payment". People like this are the reason those of us who do use trucks for what they're made for aka work, have an ever shrinking used market and a non existent new market for normal trim trucks to pick from. These idiots have shown the manufacturers that people buy these pavement princess's for no reason other than to show off.
I wish the TÜV and Dekra were inspecting vehicles, using German standards, in the USA.
Miata is always the answer.
In this case, the question would have been - which one of these cars would not survive an accident with the other?
Trucks parked like that are just begging for some good keying
Now imagine both on a highway and the Miata rear-ending the truck. In EU underride guards are mandatory, but in the US... I'm not sure.
One of my coworkers has something like this, big ass 150 thats bigger than our parking spaces that fit 12 seater vans. He's got 4 kids, lives in town and regularly complains about struggling to pay bills. No shit dumbass all your money is tied up in liabilities and he takes any excuse to skip work he can get.
Love Miatas!
Denali neighbor must have a small dick.
