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.

      It’s maddening the percentage of my taxes that go towards the gas prices that makes this dick compensator feasible to own.

      i feel like people would insist on this shit regardless, even in the rest of the world people seem to not even consider the concept of forgoing a car for economic reasons, same with owning a house.

      they’d rather eat less and stop heating their house than rent an apartment and stop driving everywhere.

      We more than make up the discount with federal taxes that fund our military-industrial complex which then commits violence all over the world in our name to make that oil cheap at the pump :(

      In comparison to other countries? Yeah.

      Shame that every country that’s balls enough to raise gasoline prices gets Iraq War’d.
