    I can't believe how big pickups have gotten. It's silly. Would have been unrealistic sci-fi in the 1990's to show the jumbo pickups today

    I have an 09 Tacoma, before that I had a 97 Tacoma. The 09 one is twice the size of the 97, not just because it’s access cab

    I saw a hilarious twitter thread the other day where a a guy posted a stock photo of a 1995 ish Toyota pickup and said it was his dream vehicle. People are like can’t you just buy a Tacoma?!? And he says no, a Tacoma weighs a ton more and is way way bigger. And he can’t buy even something similar because it no longer exists. Ironically the closest comparable thing is most easily attainable in developing countries.

    There has to be an untapped market for a light truck that can fit in a single garage.

    100%. You could sell an infinite amount of a 4x4, V6 or even inline 4 with a turbo, the size of a 95 Toyota pickup. Good ground clearance, 32 inch tires standard. No options either. Put crank windows in it I don’t give a s**t.

    Never gonna happen though.

    Try to buy a new Ford Ranger, there's a wait list

    Still substantially bigger than that truck I posted though, just as an example. I bet the new ranger weighs 50-75% more.

    I love our zero double standard system.

    Burr is a perfect example of a guy getting rich off politics.

    Disgusting really. They almost all do it and protect each other too. Rep/Dem. Insider trading is arguably the most bipartisan thing going on in DC politics.

    Speaking of: this corrupt crypt keeper needs to just go ahead and leave for good or die. At this point I don’t care which comes first.

    Feinstein is another piece of trash example

    I think Pelosi intentionally took losses this year because of the smoke she was starting to get.

    He's the riverboat gambler, why is this surprising?

    He’s been pretty brazen in his trading, even by congressional standards. Not surprising though, he’s a massive POS as well as an idiot.

    Nick Saban could live in Siberia and win that seat if he ran.

    Tuberville also badly fumbled a gimme statement on white nationalists. He's a moron. In essence, an Auburn guy.
