Yes you like the convenience of it. Noones saying they aren't convenient. Its not only about your personal convenience, because cars affect everyone nearby.

Theres a reason they cost so much, and will continue to raise as the price gets closer to its actual cost to create and use one.

And I know you know this, because you ended the post saying that if you didnt have the truck now, you wouldn't buy another one. Have you actually thought this through or is it just some automatic cognitive dissonance reaction from owning a truck?

I think it has more to do with your reading comprehension and thinking I said anywhere that I own a truck.

And you are still avoiding my point. I understand you dont have a truck. I wasn't the only one that assumed you were defending your own use case.

I'm saying you admitting you wouldn't buy a truck now betrays how you say you feel about them.

You are saying there is at least one person that needs a truck, and im saying they dont, they just prefer it. Choosing the truck says something about what is important to the person who bought it.
