    The need to have a giant house / car / other oversized, impractical status symbol. It just reeks of insecurity and it’s all bullshit, no one needs houses that big it’s just plain fucking stupid.

        Other than American pickups, the rest of them have stayed relatively reasonable sized. Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200, Isuzu D-Max, Volkswagen Amarok, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Mercedes X-Class … There’s plenty to choose from.

          The Toyota Hilux Workmate is a great ute in Australia. A lot of Hilux’s are still big wank tanks.

        Ugh, yes everything seems to be a four door and way too tall.

        I wish El Camino type low cars with beds made a comeback.

          Same, think there are like 2 available but I’d want electric which doesn’t exist at all. Had an el camino as my first car and other than the lack of heat it was great.

      Hmm…
      I’d argue against houses/living space (what is reasonable) but the other stuff: Yeah.

      Example:
      I’d like a living space with 3-4 rooms with a nice garden.
      Do I need that much when I could suffice with just 2? No.
      Would I like to, to do my hobbies and interests? Yep
