    Yes, nothing more manly than driving around town in a truck half the size of anything on the road with zero crumple zones. If you get into an accident you’ll certainly die like a man.

    I’ll just keep my feminized large truck with a heavy frame, crumple zones, air bags and backup sensors. I’m sure I can fit the wreckage of that Kei truck in the bed of my fem. truck and drop it off at the scrap yard if you ever get into a accident and need someone to dispose of it.

      How many things are you planning to run into? I don’t need a tank to do my job, this truck has airbags, it passes all the crash tests, and it has sensors for tire pressure and traction. That’s good enough for me.

      Is your truck bulletproof? Are you sure you don’t need a pope mobile to get to work?

      Sure, but Japanese drivers are far more disciplined, resulting in fewer traffic fatalities, than the dolts on the US roads who drive like they received their driver’s license out of damn cereal box. By the way, SUV’s and pick-up trucks have less stringent crash standards than passenger cars.

        I’m fine with Mexica exporting it only to countries with disciplined drivers, it would still be leagues better than SUVs (although those countries don’t have Kei trucks banned, usually)

        Sounds like you have decided to passive aggressively agree that Kei cars are dangerously unsafe on American roads.

        Repeating sexist remarks… check Implying that a idea or statement isn’t manly and/or is feminine in a degrading manner… check

        What other sexist degrading statements do you have rattling around over there? I’d expect it’s all you have because you haven’t spoken any facts yet.

      Yeah, I think kei trucks look cool as hell but. The driver is sitting right above the motor and fuel tank. They’re fundamentally not safe in crashes. That’s probably okay because they’re also very slow. No one talks about this because it’s not fun.
