    You should see the rapid change in vehicle types happening here. Dual cab utes, overly large (US trucks). A lot of American imports turning up (usually the cheaper Ram) but even the domestic models are swelling in size from the work vehicles they used to be.

    It may be too late. We are America Jnr. It’s a good way to identify people who don’t give a fuck though.

      I admit it’s been startling how quick the adoption rate for these things has been. It’s kind of concerning, I figured we were above that kind of bullshit, but the last few years have proved otherwise.

        A quick change from Commodore and Falcon Ute to 4WD dual cabs being the “bogan” vehicle of choice. The change from average ute size to oversized was a blink of an eye.

        Then conversely the small SUV (a taller car) became the Prado-style giant SUV of the day.

        Parking must be absolute bullshit.

          I can confirm the local markets can get a bit fucked at times.

      i do wonder if they genuinely don’t give a fuck, or are just really, really stupid and insecure.
