Yet some of you still go to great lengths to rationalize your presence on X. At some point, you must ask yourself how poorly this reflects on your values and priorities.

Like smoking a cigarette, driving a giant SUV/pickup endangers anyone nearby.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

Trucks have been getting bigger, more energy & space consuming, more polluting, and much deadlier to everyone around them including kids. Not because most of us actually need bigger vehicles, but as ego boosts, status symbols & “indicators of male virility.” Note the truck bed is basically the same.
