Fugly gigantic pickup trucks. Spreading like a cancer, every second vehicle is a Dodgy Rammed, Ford F-150-ton, GrossMonsterConveyance, or High-Ho-Silverado!!
Bigger. Louder. Uses more fuel. Takes up more space. Encroaches on your ability to enter/exit your parked car. Self-entitled, douchebag drivers wearing the uniform of fucking Oakley sunglasses, beard, and pasty skin. Almost never is there something in the truckbed.
We are moving in the wrong direction. Not only in terms of the environment, but also in terms of how awful our urban fabrics have become due to the decades-long primacy of the automobile over the pedestrian, and now the primacy of the hulking pickup truck over the car. Roads will get wider. Parking lots will get wider to accommodate larger trucks, and the need to back in.
