This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn’t fit in many places around here it’s owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.

    That’s the worst part, they don’t belong on farms. Not farmer worth their salt wants a gaudy piece of shit like this for farm work. Too heavy, too expensive and too difficult to fix when actually used. These vanity pieces are only for showing off, not hauling heavy pieces of equipment around as advertised. Heaviest thing these things move is the ego of the people who own them.

      Yeah I work at a farm, and the car we use is a 4wd Toyota Hiace, with a trailer if needed. It’s beat up but does its work well.
