Hmmm, what's your take on redneck women?

The second photo captures a couple of local specimens in situ. There are 
more photos of the opposition. You might notice the lack of black faces at 
a BLM rally but you make do with what you have.

I don't know what the most popular brand is locally, perhaps Ford but a 
lot of people drive pickups. They're a little big to fit most parking 
spaces and hard to see around when you're in a Yaris with your eyes level 
with their lug nuts. At least with a bike I can stand on the pegs.

I'll admit I have a semi-retired pickup but it is a '86 F-150 that's 
dwarfed by the modern versions. 

SUVs are also very prevalent. That was an unintended consequence of EPA 
meddling. Light trucks had looser mileage requirements than passenger 
cars. Put a fancy body on a light truck chassis and , voila, a SUV. 

Right now gasoline is relatively inexpensive. During peak times the 
vehicle mix changes. Most people also have smaller sedans in the driveway.
