    The only rage here is you against literally anything that has an open bed, even if it is the same size and gets the same mileage as a compact car.

      I swear to you, if I ever have any kind of emotion towards “anything that has an open bed” beyond mild bemusement I will quit the Internet, abandon the concept of self-propelled vehicles and ride a donkey to a mountain monastery to rethink my life.

      I just didn’t know you could get people on the Internet to froth at the mouth by implying that pickup trucks aren’t perhaps the most efficient mode of transportation until a couple of weeks ago. Now that I do know it feels irresponsible not to use this power. Especially when somebody brings up how culturally strange some purchasing choices are in the US.

        Thank you for finally admitting that you are a troll!

        Imagine being such a worthless piece of shit that you argue with someone who wants a truck version of a car by constantly saying they want something other than they are literally saying. It probably helps if you are jobless and unable to make romantic connections with people because of your inability to maintain proper hygiene. That must really help with the personal need to rile up others so you can feel better about yourself while you cry yourself to sleep on the bare mattress you sleep on.

          Oh, yeah, this conversation is super irrelevant. There is literally zero reason to have this conversation beyond the morbid fascination of seeing weirdos come out of the woodwork to be super offended that you said mean things about open beds. It’s like flipping over a rock to see the bugs.

          I mean, let’s be honest, why else would anybody have an intricate, incensed conversation about whether the back of a van is covered with a bit of sheet metal or going commando? It’s absolutely bonkers. Think about it. Think about it hard for a second.

            Why would anyone shit on the idea of a car that is the same size, gets the same mileage, and is otherwise the same as a hatchback but with an open bed instead of a closed hatch? What kind of nut job would suggest a van and a second vehicle that would get the same fuel consumption as a solution? Think about it hard for a second.

              Yeeeeah, you didn’t quite get the thinking part done right, I think.

              But also. My friend. Back seats. We’ve talked about this.

                  Cool.

                  So why are we having this conversation, then? Because that’s great for you, but as a “optimal use case” as opposed to the “maximal use case”, I’d say “seats” tends to rank pretty high the list of car features. For… you know, most people.

                    You would say that since you keep ignoring everything that I have written.

                    Would you tell someone who wants a SmartCar that they should get something with a backseat instead? What about the van with a sealed off cabin that was suggested, which would also have two seats but worse fuel economy in a larger package than what I want which is a car with a truck bed?

                    Honestly this keeps going because I am fascinated by how hard you have dug your heels in opposing a car with a truck bed for reasons that I have already explained are not relevant based on my prior ownership of a hatchback. And you will respond to this because you can’t just admit maybe you were wrong in your assumptions. Like comically wrong, but it would be a travesty for someone to not fit your idea of an American who uses their lifted truck as a dick substitute.

                    Plus I have some time on my hands so will definitely be getting the last word in.
