Someone mentioned how leftist's motives are just based on emotion and not reason. I can agree with that. It's sort of funny how they're going after one of the few electric trucks on the road and not the guy who modified his truck to roll coal. I have a bit of a theory as to why they're going after the Cybertruck specifically/r/fuckcars has an unhealthy obsession with the Cybertruck:
1) Rich people
2) Elon and because Elon is see above
3) A guy who owns a cybertruck is more likely to be a nerd and less likely to be the other crowd who could kick an urbanist's ass
There used to be a joke, why vegan protesters used to throw red paint on to old women for wearing fur coats and not the Hell's Angels for wearing leather jackets.

I know people who are seriously anti-EV, pro-ICE, and even they don't hate the cyber truck as much as these guys, I'm quite impressed.

Besides that minivans are driven by teenagers as there first ride. You can tell none of the /fuckcars jobless bums weren’t cool in high school since they weren’t able to give their mates rides in the mini van.

I think that sticker means that it's an uncool vehicle (like the minivan) for incels, everyone knows minivans are the ultimate Mom-Mobile.

Can you give some examples of minivans?
The term isn't really used outside the Americas, and the examples Yandex and Google gave ranged from stuff like the Toyota Venturebus (Which I'd call a minibus, similar to the VW Microbus) to microcars like the 2010 Mercedes A-class (the dogshit pictured below):
Which is a rather broad range.
I don't think this is what you guys are talking about when you talk about "minivans".
Over here the stereotypical "High school graduate's first car" is something like a very used sedan like a Mazda 323 or VW Golf.
This type of Suzuki 1.5l is also quite popular:
It's considered a pickup truck for licensing purposes.
I'd appreciate it if one of you could help me out.

Look at the Honda Odyssey or Chrysler Town & Country. Big, somewhat blocky, sliding passenger doors with 3 rows of seats and a sizable amount of storage in the rear.That's a minivan.

In my experience it's usually a tiny shitbox like a Peugeot 106 or a Fiat Panda, people carriers tend to be the exclusive domain of mums over here.

Ah, OK, got it. What we call "Estate Cars" or sometimes "hatchbacks".
Those are stereotypically driven by boomers whose hobbies are golf and/or shopping over here. They're out of the price range of students (unless Mom or Dad paid, of course).
Thanks for the clarification.

No, they’re not estate cars (which Americans call station wagons) or hatchbacks.
Here's the Honda Odyssey, a typical minivan:
They have three full rows of seating, typically in a 2-2-3 configuration and small cargo area behind the third row of seats. The second and third rows can usually be folded or removed to increase cargo capacity at the expense of passenger capacity.
For size comparison, they're about the same length as an Mercedes S-Class:
Urbanists love to say that SUV drivers should "just get a minivan" instead, but minivans are larger than most SUVs on the road:
The car in the back is the Odyssey. The car in the front is a Honda CR-V, an average sized family car that is common on American roads and what American /r/fuckcars users are complaining about when they're talking about SUVs. The CR-V is also $10k cheaper.
For comparison, here is the CR-V next to a VW Golf (a typical hatch back):
It's a little taller than the Golf (because it has a higher ride height) and has a larger cargo area, but the size difference isn't much. It's almost exactly the same size as a Mercedes C-Class Estate:
A minivan is smaller than a full-sized SUV like the Chevrolet Suburban:
but full-sized SUVs have greater cargo capacity (very useful if you frequently use the third row as minivans do not have much cargo room if all seats are in use) and are much rarer than smaller vehicles. This class of vehicles can also tow and is better offroad due to its higher ground clearance. Most owners actually use at least some of their extra capabilities.

One thing people forget is a vehicle is rarely used at maximum seating capacity. A minivan can hold seven or eight people but rarely is run with more than six or seven. (A family of seven will often upgrade to a 9,12, or 15 passenger vehicle). Cars are so much more comfortable when there’s a bit of space.

People who act like this recognize on some level that they're massive fuckups and are just trying to hide from everyone to avoid the shame. The reality is that other people are too busy dealing with their own lives to care about anyone else's and most are too polite or nice to treat a fuckup like a fuckup anyway.
What a bunch of mindless sheep. "I don't want to interact with anyone, but I need other people around so I feel safe."

Malicous sheep, too.
They only want a herd as a human shield to protect them in case of mass shooter. Or to be an obstruction to camera sightlines as they throw bricks at windows.
In the end, they don't feel any of their vaunted community or inclusiveness with the crowd, only that it's a usable tool for them in certain circumstances and is available 24/7.

Japanese twitter comments on American urban design:
Tweet (Archive)
The city on the left is Tokyo, the city on the right is Los Angeles.
Of course, /r/fuckcars is very mad that residents of urban utopia look up to the US:
Ironic considering how much they love planned cities like Paris and Barcelona:

Oh really:
Time to crush their spirit:
An urbanist brigaded the Japanese thread and used Google Translate to tell them that they're wrong using a picture of Breezewood as an example of ugly American cities:
Only to get told by a Japanese person that rural Japan looks the same:

I never drove a minivan in high school because the minivan was the one used for big trips, groceries, transporting people, etc.
I drove a sedan.

Breezewood isnt a city
Its a town at best
Might even only be a townSHIP if incorporated at all.
And that picture is of the road connecting the PA turnpike to 2 other higways, of course it looks like that, every off ramp in the US does too if they have travel services.
The willful misrepresentation of this as a typical American Main Street that your average person lives on is more than a bit dishonest.

I find it super funny that they don't perceive japs as normal people, just this idealized anime-y automaton that just LOVES their trains and metro and would never, never use a car.Oh really:
Meanwhile streets in Tokyo are MASSIVE, multiple lanes in both direction with a lot of street parking.
And the dude from the last picture is right- it looks like a typical countryside, even in Poland. Like this place.

Well the cybertruck is objectively cool. Urbanists just hate it because Musk Man made it.
Imagine people that live on a cramped island where space is at a premium liking American urban planning where things are open. Japan likes cars too Urbanists, have you seen Toyota?

Almost all (oldest kids at least) first car is the oldest car the family owns, which is often left over from when the family was small.
A first car being the minivan means you’re probably the younger set and the family is mostly covered in minivans at the time.
Only rich faggots buy a car directly for a kid, usually justifying it as “muh safety” as if not dying as an idiot teenager isn’t more about not being a dumbfuck vs safety equipment.

I still can't get over that commies and urbanists like to whine so much about that one photograph as if it's somehow a symbol of everything they hate.
It's already obvious why commies and urbanists hate truck stops so much, or other places to get hotel rooms or food in the middle of nowhere, but come on.
