    I mean, that is a completely reasonable vehicle compared to the majority of oversized dickup trucks and SUVs that most people around here drive.

    Could be the only car they can afford/get a hold of right now. You drive what you can, cars are fucking expensive.

      And then you pay for custom plates?

        Let’s not pretend that custom plates are “expensive” on the scale of vehicles. They’re usually pretty cheap, in fact those smokey the bear ones cost a whopping $40 extra. You aren’t getting a fancier truck or car for $40.

          That’s definitely a fair criticism.

      My friend has a tattoo on his calf that says “VEGAN” in big block letters. He got it maybe a year or two after he went vegan. It was a pretty radical change because before that, he would make amazing beef jerky.
