because people really wanted something else, and as soon as it became
available they stopped buying them :)
Exactly, light commercial vehicles such as Jap utes are vastly
superior to Holden or Falcon utes as work vehicles.
They are indeed.
Post by DarylInteresting that in the UK and Europe tradies mostly drive vans and
whingers over there complain the same as the whingers here, they would
all complain even louder when they can't get a tradie to come to their
houses to fix things.
It will get even worse when and if tradies are forced to drive EV's
that will be much heavier.
This nonsensical argument has been raised here *many* times over the
years, and it is just as idiotic today as it always has been. For the
life of me I'll never understand why it is that some people believe that
other have to justify their vehicle purchases while their *own* choices
are exempt from such scrutiny.
It's bizarre, it's insane, and it highlights *perfectly* just how out of
touch with reality people can be.
Post by DarylPost by NoddyAnd what does he tow his boat with? :)
Wonder how a Levorg would go towing, need to put some wheels under the
back to stop it dragging its arse on the ground.
Maybe we should just ban builders and all live in tents.
Lol :)
Post by DarylA new house is being built next door to me so there are 2 utes there,
one a Ranger towing a big trailer and the other is one of those
Chinese things, the builders should just tow a trailer behind a push
bike.
The idea that some people should have a say in what *other* people
choose to drive is utterly preposterous, but it becomes totally
nonsensical when their own choices are called into question.
Take Trevor's choice of rides for example. To my knowledge he owns a
Subaru Levorg and an old Nissan Stagea, and if I remember correctly he
wanted small'ish wagons as he needed a degree cargo carrying capacity
for his audio equipment business. Fair enough, but there were better
choices of wagons around at the time if a wagon was the all important
selection criteria, but he didn't *want* those.
But he has *two* wagons. He can only ever drive one at a time, and I
dare say his business isn't busy enough that he needs both of them on
the road carrying freight 24/7. In fact, if he's like 99.99% of other
people the majority of his vehicle use is spent with his arse on the
driver's seat and the rest of the vehicle being empty (when the other
one is parked up doing absolutely nothing) which would be a pretty good
case for someone to argue that his vehicles spend the overwhelming bulk
of their time *not* being used as the manufacturer intended.
Odd, huh?
Of course, if he was *really* as concerned about the effects of personal
vehicle choice on other road users as he likes to make himself out to be
then he doesn't need to have a wagon at all. He could have a scooter for
those times when it's just his bum on the seat and hire a wagon when he
actually needed it, or at the most he could have something like a Toyota
Yaris with a tow bar and have a small trailer that he hooks up when he
needs to carry a load of audio equipment. That would meet 99.99% of his
driving needs, and I'm guessing the stuff he occasionally carries around
is more about physical bulk than it is weight, so a Yaris with a trailer
would be fine. He could also get rid of the Stagea which compared to
anything made in the last 5 years would have totally shithouse safety
and emissions capabilities.
But he doesn't do any of that, because that's not what he *wants* to do.
He wants to do what he *likes*, which is perfectly fine, but for some
bizarre reason known only to him and others with the same remarkably
blinkered view that freedom of choice *isn't* a privilege that should be
automatically extended to anyone else, and *that's* the massive
contradiction that makes these people look like fruitcakes.
Every single person who criticises someone else's personal choice when
it comes to vehicles does so while enjoying the very freedom of choice
that they themselves criticise others for having.
As I said. It's bizarre. And what makes it ridiculously funny is that
the whingers don't see it :)
*claims* of the past two decades and more. What is ridiculously funny is
embarrassed to say anything.
