"It's the only thing that makes me feel significant in a society that I struggle to understand" - Large truck owners (if they were literate)
I live this image on the daily, in a Midwestern hell full of giant trucks. Probably 5% of those people also have lift kits, and far too many people have modified them to roll coal.
Back when I had my WRX, I had my infant son in the car. I get on the on ramp and enter the highway. Some asshole in the next lane decides to fuck with the little Subaru and blast thick black smoke all over the highway, so I gun it to get through and past and he does as well. I see the passenger sticking his dumb cunt fucking face out of the window and snickering and I just reacted and as I was flying past I whip and empty frappucino bottle at him, dude caught it with his forehead and I was gone.
I later regretted not just taking the license plate and just calling the cops but then... Hopefully that started a fight between the two.
I've tried to get in a Miata once. Had to put the top down and my eye level was over the windshield.
“Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall.”
I'm 6'4" and fit in my 19 just fine, I have MAYBE an inch of head room left with the top up. Now the solstice I tried to get on? No fucking way. Was it an NA?
Edit: sweet reference on the handle.
I'm 6', but I have a comparatively long torso, so I generally have the seat set as low as possible in a sedan to be at a comfortable height, and even then, my head nearly touches the ceiling. Life before height-adjustable seats was interesting.
Sheesh, I'm kinda the same way, my mom calls the men in my family bulldogs because of our short legs. Are you like... Deadpool when he was ripped in half by juggernaut, and then started regenerating?

I have a '73 Porsche 914 I restored. Same size as a Miata. Better mileage, too. I've owned one new car in my life. I'll never buy another.
