- 2017 CX-5 GT
That's the only reasonable conclusion I can come to as to why people who live in the suburbs feel the need to drive around in an 18 ft long pick-up truck that barely fits in their driveway without blocking the sidewalk.
They have to park it in the driveway because their vehicle of phallic compensation won't fit in the garage since the architech of their ticky-tacky box never considered that people living on a .25 acre lot would just absolutely need a crewcab f-150 to tackle ardous tasks like taking the kids to school, getting groceries, and, well...that's pretty much it.
Makes you feel like a man, sure, but the wife can't drive this behemoth worth $hit. She's trying to park Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputian's, and when she backs this montrosity up she tends to hit things, like our parked CX-5. So now the start of my summer is driving around dealing with insurance and getting quotes.
At the risk of sounding sexist, this is the 3rd time one of our parked cars has been backed into, and every time it has been a woman being distracted by her kids. So empirically when someone backs into one of our cars, 100% of the time it's some mom with kids melting down in the back. The first time was in my STi; I had just parked and was stepping out of the car when the lady backed into me hard, destroying the rear 1/4 panel and rear passenged side door.
Her baby was crying and she was running on 0 hrs sleep and she didn't look in the rear-view before backing up and the spot I just parked in was empty when she got into the car and she just had a fight with her husband and and and and... Had I backed into the spot she would of severely injured me, if not killed me,
Christ, this (with the CX-5) was in a school parking lot. This person can't even back up this 2.5 ton vehicle without hitting other cars; what if there were kids walking behing the truck?
