Pff, car users dont need society to get around, everyone knows road and bridge and fuel infrastructure are natural parts of the word that are just there on their own already! /s

American culture in general:
"Remember: There is no society - only YOU and the freedom to do whatever you want!"
.... the chef's kiss was in parking your monstrosity next to a Big Sad Box .... a beautiful summary of the general North American society we've created. Millions of years of evolution to get to the point of selfish ignorantly following a life style to park next to a big sad box and buy an overpriced couch you can't afford made by Vietnamese children.

I wonder if dissolving the EPA would lead to smaller cars in a roundabout sort of way.

I can tell this is a old meme because $119k is "a lot". Lol

Not a cheap vehicle, but that's a medium truck with presumably a pretty incredible tow rating. Not really a passenger vehicle.

To be fair that is the largest consumer model and essentially the most expensive OEM package you can get. And it is very powerful and capable tow vehicle, but the majority of people just use them as passenger vehicles and maybe tow their rv a few times a year(which can be done with was less of a truck).
If you know modded trucks, whether that's purpose built towing or just mall crawler, there are way more trucks over $200k than you would realize. If you ever see a welding truck, big 4x4 lifted trucks with custom beds, those are an easy $250k. But they are being used. Those guys make a easy 6 figures while living in hotels with nothing else to spend it on.

Yeah, I was expecting it to be a joke like:
- Introducing Longtrucks.
- Impress even more strangers of the superior person-hauling capabilities with 32 seats.
- Includes a light-up sign so you can proudly show to strangers where you're headed.
- Access a world-wide network of pick-up bays for you to pick up strangers from.

It's also literally the motto for the Pontiac Grand Prix.
"Wider is better"
-
And to boast that it's the absolute Pinnacle of society. It's the only version they've seen but they're convinced there are zero improvements

Artist nailed it outlining people's obsession with personal freedoms versus society's rights as a whole.

And that was in 1998

Am I understanding you correctly? There is a standard somewhere that says you can't have tires of a certain width on a car unless the car is also broad?
Why is that even a requirement? I thought broad tires were safer, why would the width of the car have anything to do with it?

So... The car equivalent of adding those extra cucumber slices to the burger so it doesn't count as a confectionery item?

Remember the times when Humvees were considered big and stupid to drive in civilian applications?
-
To be brief, some boneheads ages past decided to class vehicles based on footprint rather than simply weight.

I like how the wing mirrors look like actual wings.
