    Actually yeah realistically they are very common. I retract my statement. I'm just personally tired of people flexing GTRs

    People flex Z-cars just as much, just to a lower income group.

    i honestly don’t care if my commuter is a „depressing” equinox

    Guess they are on the same level then

    I need to stop using my bias of Z-cars over GTRs as a solid argument

    Maybe you prefer your vehicle to be unibody, but for SUVs, I prefer body on frame. It literally makes no difference to me when commuting. I like being able to use SUVs for their original intended purpose of off roading, have the ability to tow, and carry all my tools.

    How did you not know who a narc is?

    You can tow, carry loads or offroad in an unibody car.

    Stuff like the Lada Niva is unibody. In my part of the world, we don't need a V8 truck to carry loads (Berlingo,Kangoo and all that stuff), pull trailers (my neighbors' Volvo XC60) or offroad (Lada Nivas).

    Wait I just wan't clarification:

    Was this guy just stating he had a Rainier and Envoy and only flexing the GTR, or, was he actively flexing all three? Because there's a big difference.

    If the current trajectory of convincing Americans that they need a 450 HP fullsize body-on-frame pickup truck to do light-duty work continues, then by 2050 we will be seeing semi trucks as suburban daily drivers.

    The Z-cars are some of the few over-saturated cars I wouldn't mind owning, they're sort of a nice middle ground of sports cars
    I can confirm that some people do make very strange and frankly stupid decisions here. Someone in my neighborhood used their F-350 to tow a lawnmower, not even a ride-on, it was just a normal push one. It's not like they didn't have a more practical SUV capable of doing that exact thing.

    But why compromise on my priorities instead of things I don't care about, like commuting. I can tow up to 6500 lbs with my Suburban. It can handle the weight of a car trailer or small camper and not struggle or get pushed around by said trailer. Towing with a lighter vehicle often puts a lot of stress on the components and the vehicle will feel unstable. On another note, frame vehicles tend to be more durable/repairable than those equipped with a unibody.

    Whenever he got banned he would come back with a different account name and car.

    You'd think right? But no.

    Oh. That's just scummy. How brainless did he have to be to think that people wouldn't notice that?

    The problem is that we didn't notice until he would post pictures of said car, or make claims of totalling his car and posting pictures of it. Most of the time he made a new account it would last a few months without anyone realizing, or at least calling him out IIRC.

    He never actually had any of those cars. He just pulled random pics from the internet and claimed they were his car.

    EDIT: He would get banned, create an alt account with a new username, say something like "hi everyone. I am ______ this is my car:"
