I live in a rural area (dirt/gravel road with a 50 km/hr speed limit) in a valley between 2 small hills. The only vehicles I hear are pickup trucks with low restriction mufflers accelerating fast (70+km/hr) up the hills. These are not pickups driven by tradespeople but by young guys expressing their egos. Pickup trucks are the current type of vehicles that boost driver egos. Thirty years ago it was Camaros, Mustangs, Chevelle 427 SS, Dodge Chargers, etc., etc. Pickups are the current vehicles of choice for (mostly) men to impress other guys.
