The 'modern cars are shit' thread.

Ah yes good old herring-bone. You have to proper swim upstream to back into those I do concede. Local council did away with them in our street and widened the pavements to permit parallel parking only. Far fewer spaces of course and mongs still try to park in forwards or leave SUVs half on the pavement at each end instead of walking 150 yards to the free car park.

Don't give the cunts idea. I'll live with it as it is rather than have zero parking, four more cripple spaces and a bloody cycle lane each way.

Cycle lanes marked out on the road adjacent to parallel parking spaces.....That really is one of the stupidest things I've seen but thankfully not yet in our town. This, after all, is the town where Sir Gerald Nabarro performed his fictitious front-seat swap after haring his 4.2 the wrong way around the roundabout. We don't have much business with bicycle wagglers roun' these parts, see.

At least with herringbone parking you can see what's coming up the road before you reverse out in front of it. Wouldn't stop the wankers just forcing their way out, but they wouldn't have the excuse of not seeing the traffic that way.

On about cycle cunts. I saw the stepson about five miles away when I was going for coal about half an hour ago. All dressed in black with a black bike with no fucking lights on. I didn't realise it was him till I'd gone past. He was waiting in the middle of a busy junction trying to turn right.
He's normally switched on which makes me suspicious to why he was at the rough as fuck Howden in the first place.

Not if there's one of those crew-cab fuckatrucks next to you with a tint-twat windowed cap on the back of it. Loads of those round here, they think they are in Wyoming or somewhere.

What is it with lids on pickups? At least half of the pickups around here have tupperware hard tops. Why isn’t there a real van or estate version of Hilux, Ranger etc? There is obviously a market…

And as for the rest, half of them have these load-lids. Proves that many just want a four-door saloon with a big boot.

I especially don't get them on the American market where it is possible to buy Suburbans....

[paulplom]

They're classed as a commercial vehicle and are bought for tax reasons.

[mercrocker]

Don't think that applies in the States, at least not in all of them. However I think there are benefits in terms of environmental and performance legislation.
