I think they are unsightly and possibly dangerous on predominantly residential streets. Should they be banned from urban areas?? They do seem out of place.

But I keep seeing these enormous pick-ups. I do sort of think everyone who drives them ought to hang those little "truck balls" from the rear bumper, because I think the trucks do meet a certain primordial need of the owner's. <br /><br />Although, once in a while, the driver is someone who actually hauls lots of stuff.<br /><br />I drove around a Ford Explorer for 3 weeks this month, while my car was having body repair. An Explorer is nowhere near as huge as one of these Chevy Avalanches and whatnot, but I was still delighted to get my Subaru back. Parking or driving in tight downtowns is wacko in giant vehicles.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889964869198798483noreply@blogger.com
