    “Status symbol”

    Every time I see a bro dozer I automatically assume dude’s absolutely drowning in debt and either being propped up by his poor wife or living in a trailer park and 4 months behind on rent.

      In my experience, everyone I know that lived in trailers were doing actual work and drove actual work trucks. Everyone I know that lived off parents money and drove to an office and never did a lick of manual work drove the big truck.

        This is my observation as well. Most people driving these abominations fairly well-off people from the suburbs, in my experience.

        I think it’s because the people doing real work know they’re going to fuck this thing up by transporting stones and furniture and tools and lumber and dirt and mulch in the back, so why spend more on a new thing just to fuck it up.

        My father in law has a junky truck he loves. He bought it for cheap and he works the hell out of it. I scratched the liner in the bed pretty badly moving patio stones and apologized to him about it, and he laughed and said that’s why he bought it.
