    @jimbob @Tau @Taleya I don't disagree that trucks weren't as popular when "sports cars" were fun and affordable and people could drive MGs and Austin-Healeys fast on curvy roads. It's interesting to ask whether safety measures like making roads straighter and installing speed cameras has discouraged car driving and therefore encouraged more dangerous wankpanzers.
