Another day, another round of vindictive and regressive policy from this government.
- registrations going up
- fuel tax going up
- public and active transport slashed by $1bn
- 15 new, uncosted roads announced
Remember when these guys campaigned on the cost of living?
Half of all Ute sales are to former Commodore/Falcon drivers who need a vehicle that is a phallic representation of their manliness.
It doesn’t matter if they’re Bob from accounting.
“Emotional support ute”
You guys think you’re so very clever, don’t you?
No, not really. I’m quoting something I saw on reddit and found funny. Feel free to ignore it.
But honestly, a lot of the time people seem to make ute ownership a personality trait. I used to want a ute. Then I grew up, and so now when I needed a work vehicle I got a van.
If it wasn’t for the up front cost to buy one, I’d love to have a ute. They’re a dream to drive, and have an incredible amount of space in the back, especially with a canopy.
That’s your prerogative mate. I just personally don’t see the point. Plenty of cars will haul boats, vans have a larger cargo space, etc. In fact, my SUV has as much boot space as my mate’s ute, the only difference is he doesn’t mind chucking dirt in there, where as I’ll use a trailer on the rare occasions I need it.
My whole point of all of this isn’t that utes are useless and should be banned or anything, but that they are in most cases not the best vehicle for the job, and people chose them to feel manly or whatever, not because they need one.
So, you drive a big fuckoff SUV, but are having a rage about utes?
Nope, it’s large but not “big fuckoff”, it’s pretty normal. Double cab utes actually don’t have that much space, unless they are an enormous American style pickup.
And again, don’t mistake disagreement with anger. I’m not raging at you for wanting a ute, I’m voicing my opinion that they are, in most cases, silly.
No, you’re definitely angry, otherwise you’d have realised I’m winding you up at this point and done something productive with your time.
