  1. “sort of rolls down the hill in neutral,” probably still uses a gallon in the process.

    But seriously i hope if one good thing comes from this is killing these stupid compensator cars.

  2. It’s a fun take, but if these cunts are salary sacrificing their utes, we’re paying half the fuel bill already. They’re not getting hit as hard as a regular Joe.

    Every time they speed past me at 100 on an 80 road I just think about the nearly $3/L fuel they’re burning

  4. “who bought the oversized vehicle so he could sit two metres above traffic & feel briefly important” 🤣🤣 brilliant!

  5. Love this take so much. Maybe we will
    Finally have people focus on the fuel efficiency of cars again

    I’m just shy of 5’10” and at the local pool I came across one of the yank tanks and the top of its bonnet was in line with my eyes. Like.. if you got hit you’d have no chance.

    The good news is we were told to just drive slower and less to use less petrol.

  7. Funny stuff, but he trays in those vehicles are usually no bigger than the boot of a station wagon.

    Well, I am feeling a bit (OK a lot) of smugness warming my cockles driving my little bitch hatchback.

  9. This speaks to me.

    I made fun of how high the hood of a RAM or whatever was saying how embarrassing it is that someone would drive such a house.

    Little did I know, the owner was walking past me at the exact time I was measuring the height of the hood with my hand and it came up to my ear. I might have said something like “so fucking stupid”

    The dirty look he gave me as I turned around and noticed some noise behind me, which was he and his family getting in the monstrosity, was delicious.

    Has anybody ever seen the old British comedy ‘keeping Up appearances’

    It featured a woman called Hyacinth Bucket (pronunciation is Bouquet) who was so determined to keep up with the Joneses and impress all of her neighbours and be a respected member of her community that she turned herself into a complete buffoon.

    The modern version of that woman is driving a 4×4 with a Stanley cup wearing Birkin stocks and probably has a small and neurotic dog she has no idea how to train.

  11. Thanks scomo for subsidising these large gas guzzling utes. What a visionary policy that has set us up so well for energy shocks like this one.

    I know a guy who has one of these. Watching him get in and out of the thing is a comedic experience. He’s short enough that he has to lift his knee above his waist and pull himself up with two arms. It’s like watching a child climb to the top of a bunkbed.

    His employees also call him Nick the Dick which gives some context to the kind of human he is.

  13. I live opposite a caravan park. The amount of George and Mildred’s that drive one of these, with a 24ft caravan behind is ridiculous. 2 little humans up front, surrounded by 10 tonnes of steel and plastic.
