I did pause for a bit, pondering if it was actually some new slang...

Then decided if I'm wrong then it's only on the internet.

The whip used to whip the horse(s) pulling your horse-drawn buggy.

I did give them the benefit of the doubt... by not actually putting that sign on their car!

If they're one of the very rare "I actually need this vehicle", fine, but we don't know.

If they're one of the common "I NeEd tHIs gIAnT veHicLE" people compensating for their own insecurities... not done, but also more likely.

No one here genuinely hates tradies (etc) who genuinely use large vehicles... we hate people who buy them without needing them, because too many of them suck for everyone.

Preach brother/sister/other!

My family car (1) is a 7-seater 'bus'. I fit an entire bathroom kit in it from the hardware store.

No tank required.

It doesn’t help that since the 1970’s, ~~we’ve~~ boomers made it nearly impossible for boomers to retire without exploiting the labor of others.

FTFY ;-)

Exactly, they're just justifying their own pulling-the-ladder-up-after-them.

Next sign: ok, you're just an a-hole for buying a 22ft vehicle.

It is loss. Grief is appropriate.

Usually the refrain is "you'll get more conservative as you get older".

What they means is "... as you get more wealthy*".

* i.e. as in own their home, retire, etc.

That sucks. I hope that cloud has a silver lining for you, somehow.

When someone is telling you who they are, listen.
