Stupid people do make up a large portion of the car buyer market.
I would hate to be in and get hit by a 3/4 ton Chevy. That was the closest we had been to one, the wife said "get a picture and post it on that truck forum"![]()
One of the good things about living here is no front plate requirement.You need to move to a state without a front plate requirement. F that.
There was a Smart Car parked in one of the neighbor's driveway for the holiday weekend. It had plates from AL. I could not imagine driving that damn thing from Alabama to Arkansas. It sounds like punishment.


Caveat: My rant only applies to winter. This POS may afford better protection than my motorcycle in the summer.
My hypocrisy has its boundaries, after all.

Difference is, i bet you don't go around trying to convince people how "safe" your motorcycle is like most "smart" owners do
It's almost as bad as prius owners bragging about how good they are for the environment or ridgeline owners bragging about how capable their truck is.
I know bikes can be unsafe, and my truck gobbles gas. I just like what I like.

I have no justification for any of my choicesI know bikes can be unsafe, and my truck gobbles gas. I just like what I like.
Like you said, if they would just come out and say "I like this car, it's my style" I would shake their hand, and be happy with that. The justifications and judgement that typically surround these cars, and some of their buyers, just makes me ill.
