[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1612530, member: 39584"] Wow. Petro-masculinity. I feel all swole with pride just thinking about that. And I had no idea I was maintaining my performative masculinity by driving a pickup. Here I thought it was the ******. :D [URL]https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-11/the-dangerous-rise-of-the-supersized-pickup-truck[/URL] "Styling trends are almost as alarming.
