    The need to have a giant house / car / other oversized, impractical status symbol. It just reeks of insecurity and it’s all bullshit, no one needs houses that big it’s just plain fucking stupid.

      Hmm…
      I’d argue against houses/living space (what is reasonable) but the other stuff: Yeah.

      Example:
      I’d like a living space with 3-4 rooms with a nice garden.
      Do I need that much when I could suffice with just 2? No.
      Would I like to, to do my hobbies and interests? Yep

        Other than American pickups, the rest of them have stayed relatively reasonable sized. Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200, Isuzu D-Max, Volkswagen Amarok, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Mercedes X-Class … There’s plenty to choose from.

        Ugh, yes everything seems to be a four door and way too tall.

        I wish El Camino type low cars with beds made a comeback.
