Yeah, I think the latter component is what makes this request ludicrous. Everything in Texas is so spread out. It is not a place you can reasonably get around without a car. Mass transit exists, but it’s pretty inefficient in most the cities.
People who’ve never lived in Texas really don’t get it. Everything is spread out to an almost ludicrous degree. I drive an hour to get to my friend’s house, and I don’t even consider him to be far away. We both live in the same metroplex.
Public transportation is almost complete failure here due to not being prioritized, and driving anywhere is a pain in the ass with drivers from all over just winging it on congested streets. Don’t even get me started on overpriced tolls that have become the only reasonable way to travel 30min+
It was literally the first image I saw and it was an example of what I meant. I really didn’t think it was necessary to check the license plate design.
Or I just don’t give a shit about figuring out a license plate that doesn’t clearly stay what state it is on it when I want to explain what I mean by horns on a car. Why would I? Exactly how tight do you think my anal sphincter is?
Fun fact: they have to modify the emissions system of the truck to do it, violating Federal law (the Clean Air Act).
If you try to “roll coal” in an unmodified diesel (in proper working order), the “best” you’ll get is a light haze of soot, not a black cloud. This is because the manufacturers do actually try to design them to be efficient, and every bit of soot represents unburned fuel that didn’t get converted into propulsive force.
Ngl, that sounds like a “feature”, not a bug, given that we are talking about Texans here. I’m not even being pejorative, that’s literally a thing they often proffer as worth being proud of, Remember The Alamo and such.
And yes that is a fun fact - thanks for sharing it!:-)
In Texas? Good luck. This is the state where people express themselves by putting horns on their cars.
It’s also the state where you sometimes have to drive two hours just to get to the supermarket.

Texas is not ok.
Your car doesn’t have a horn?
These sort of horns-
That car is from Arizona.
You do know that’s not the only car in the world with horns on it, right?
I just think its funny that out of the vast number of horned vehicles that stampede through Texas I guess? You find a pic of one in Arizona.

You lack observational skills, and attention to detail.

Not always. okay fine so always
They also jack up the trucks by putting on wheels that are themselves taller than the fuel-efficient cars that they drive over like pavement.
There’s also the trucks that do the “rolling coal” shit.
Fucking shit - TIL that’s on purpose!?

Yep. As a Prius driver, they do it to me all the time, because apparently paying less for gas than they do makes me a communist.
Hehe, if I was there I would wear a mask everywhere I went, just to fuck with people:-).
Even/especially inside of a vehicle.
