How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

It’s the same in Australia. Tax incentives given to businesses during the pandemic mixed with a large influx of yank tanks available on the market means that there are heaps of these monster trucks getting around. I honestly don’t know how they cope, the roads and parking around here aren’t designed for such large vehicles and this is out in the countryside; I can’t see them fitting in narrow city streets.
I love it. I'd use it here in the U.S. but no one calls each other Yanks internally.
I'm gonna start using it regardless.
I think we need something else. What about Patriot Panzers?
Haha, that's also a good one!
Yank here. I use canyonero or monster truck depending on the type of vehicle.
I bet some people here would drive literal tanks if they could.
