  • Possibly tho I personally doubt it. My local area is pretty conservative so not a lot of people care about climate change and I don’t have a sizable population of climate consurned people to know in person. But from what I’ve observed online people who do care about climate change don’t talk about car color at all. Instead they are more concerned about cars being electric. On top of all that cars today are pretty disposable and gas has been in the process of getting phased out. So it’s entirely possible that by the time car color becomes a concern most folks probably would have gone through 20 different cars by then. That’s all without mentioning how AC has become a standard feature on even low end econo boxes. But hey not everyone thinks rationally just look at the entire premise of mith busters.


  • If we’re talking working at IKEA as like a delivery guy yeah but as a normal dude you don’t need a full size pickup for a once a year thing even I a dude who lives in the middle of nowhere Vermont and have to haul firewood to stay warm during winter my willies jeep does the job just fine and that’s a car that doesn’t even have a bed I just have a crap ton of horsepower and a trailer people forget that jeeps entered the civilian market as a work vehicle for farms and lumber yards







  • If argue another thing that is fighting against Kai trucks is the fact that I’m told that there is a dealership feedback loop. For example the reason why cars are rather black and white now is because dealerships viewed that those colors sold better. Same thing with auto transmissions. However we are now finding those cars are selling better is because there are more of them, and there are more of them because they sell better. I suspect the same thing is happening with big trucks. Bigger luxury trucks are selling better than small trucks because there are more big luxury trucks, and there are more big luxury trucks because they sell better. This feedback loop exists because dealerships force consumers to select from what they have when you want to buy a new car. When you look at the second hand market you’ll find colorful manual small trucks sell better than colorless automatic luxury trucks.










  • Yeah crumple zones are enforced by the bumper so when you lift a car you’re making the colliding car smash into the other above the bumper and gliding above the crumple zone if I recall the Ford pento was unfairly judged because the cars that were used to rate it’s rear end crash safety had their front ends waghted down to simulate heavy breaking however it caused the cars to not only have more weight than normal but they also ramed into the pento going under the crumple zone and directly into the gas tank so I guess you can also make a argument for lowered SUVs and trucks to be just as bad as lifted trucks and suvs
