I was expecting this to be about Texas and the car to have swangas

CrimeDad OP ,

What’s a swangas?

tiredofsametab ,

Weird rims with like big chariot spike types of things. I might be mis-remembering/-spelling the name. Google should show some ... Interesting? Picture

CrimeDad OP ,

Oh cool I didn’t know those had a name.

GlitterInfection ,

Still are, but we used to be.

DannyBoy ,

But now we’re a car?

CrimeDad OP ,

Always have been. image

LanternEverywhere ,

What a dumb title. I would've otherwise upvoted a cool pic, but the title makes it sound like you're trying to make some unrelated dumb political point

No no, the country changed so now it’s different, and my vision of a “perfect” country is the right one, so obviously your vision is wrong!

OP is probably just trolling, but I see this all the time, and I’m so tired of it. Sure, as an old person they remember their “golden age” but they never stop to think that everyone remembers their own separate “golden age” and theirs is just as valid as someone else’s

CrimeDad OP ,

I just think the pickup trucks are too big these days.

SnugZebras ,

Looks more like a pickup car.

CrimeDad OP ,

More than enough for most late model pickup owners.

nilloc ,

Most late model pickups are family vehicles now. They’re 4 doors and seat 5. Most current late model truck owners would be better served by the old station wagons. Those could tow plenty too, you used to see them dragging airstreams all the time.

CrimeDad OP ,

Take a joke!

LanternEverywhere ,

So you quoted something that someone actually said. And we're supposed to know that you aren't actually saying it because...?

CrimeDad OP ,

Sometimes a joke goes over your head. It’s okay.

LanternEverywhere ,

Sometimes you make a shitty title and you don't want to admit it to yourself

CrimeDad OP ,

If you’ve got such a problem with it then report it to the mods.

LanternEverywhere ,

Haha oh brother

recapitated ,

There’s nothing to report to the mods. I think the original commenters comment could be translated into constructive criticism to help you for next time, if you want to bother. If you don’t, then there’s really not much left to discuss.

FrowingFostek ,

What are we now op?

CrimeDad OP ,

We’re a bizarre Rhodesia of living rooms on wheels.

HikingVet ,

Fuck that unrecognised state.

CrimeDad OP ,

Now you’re getting it.

HikingVet ,

Yeah, you’re pushing shitty politics in a photography sub. Fuck off.

CrimeDad OP ,

Alright, I give up. What’s your problem?

You expressed feelings of nostalgia, but phrased them in way that may by implication indicate fault in current regime. It’s called blame, and you know what they say… You can’t spell “blame” without “lame”.

CrimeDad OP ,

The only implications one can reasonably find in my post are that the trucks are too big these days and that cars looked cooler from about 1982 to 1987 than they do now. “We used to be a country” is an embarrassingly melodramatic phrase on its face, which is why we have fun with it as a meme now. Of course, some people also have fun contriving implications in whatever they look at and I suppose that’s just their business.

Oh no. The mere possibility of thought… It is a very serious business. Stay safe. Cool photo, by the way.

CrimeDad OP ,

🙏

HikingVet ,

Not a bad photo, terrible title.

CrimeDad OP ,

It was either that or “Why can’t we have reasonably sized pickups like this anymore?”.

HikingVet ,

Oh, so you really suck at titles, and context.

Mbourgon ,

That would’ve been better, honestly.

CrimeDad OP ,

Everybody’s a critic!

Mbourgon ,

Sorry, dude. Figured I’d be semi constructive rather than just a downvote. I haven’t seen one like that since the SSR.

recapitated ,

That is true.

It helps to “know your audience”

CrimeDad OP , (edited )

Yes, I was wrong on two assumptions: that people would check Wikipedia to find out that this car was discontinued in 1987 and that there was any consensus that that wasn’t a great year in the USA.

Hey! That’s Atlantic City! That’s where I’m from

That’s probably the Boss’s car lol

CrimeDad OP ,

Seaside Heights actually! It’s certainly a boss’s car lol.
