    People used to use trucks for hauling. Now they are $70k+ status symbols for people who need to scream, “I am insecure.”

      I don’t get why people think an ugly looking vehicle is a status symbol. To most, it symbolizes something completely different.

      Completely baseless assumption, but I think it’s just a continuation of the phenomenon when toddlers get hyped for trucks/tractors/combine harvesters/anything that is big and loud, maybe because it’s associated with power, I don’t know. Some people just stay at this toddler’s mentality and they see everything that’s big and/or loud as something you can boast about. See also: loud exhausts, 6400 deciBel motorcycle sounds, etc.
