But how will I advertise how insecure I am about my small wiener if I can't drive a monster with five gallons to the mile on diesel?

Don't worry, yours is legally a prosthesis which is protected under the ADA
btw when they blind me at night going 75 mph in the rocky mountains, i find it to be deadly too.
Why do our car manufacturers here even remotely think this is okay?
They don't think it's okay, but neither do they care. They want money even if it means killing kids.

I always get nervous whenever i see one of these new GM pickups cuz they are just wayy too tall.
And you know the driver's not a bright spark.
The solution will never be ending the obvious problem, but rather replacing windshields with giant LCDs using front mounted cameras or something.

I concur.
No more creepy mannequins.
THE NEW MAIBATSU MONSTROSITY
Why drive a small car? Are you a small person? The new SUV Maibatsu Monstrosity guzzles gas and is equipped for crossing Arctic tundra! Driving one will make you feel good!

First time I sat in the passenger seat of one I was still shocked. it's even more frustrating that if you actually need to tow something heavy you have no option to avoid this outside an older truck. Some manufacturer should clue in and advertise a 3/4 ton as that won't make you kill the neighbor's kid. And I want sightlines, not cameras.
Right. Get those kids if from front my truck. I gotta go to Walmart to get a bag of cool ranch Doritos.
