Yes there are a lot of monstrous SUVs around here too, and they annoy me too, but not like the poseur pickups do. Pay, suckers. Pay!

Agreed, and those people tend to agree to. Go on any of those forums and the mantra is "gotta pay to play", so they aren't looking for sympathy from anyone. If anything, high fuel prices further expresses what they are going for; a display of excess spent.
Many, many pickups passed me like I was standing still on my drive home from Montana yesterday. I do 5 MPH over the limit, but they were doing more like 15-20 over. No sympathy for the full size, lifted pickup with mudders doing 85 MPH.
