The only implications one can reasonably find in my post are that the trucks are too big these days and that cars looked cooler from about 1982 to 1987 than they do now. “We used to be a country” is an embarrassingly melodramatic phrase on its face, which is why we have fun with it as a meme now. Of course, some people also have fun contriving implications in whatever they look at and I suppose that’s just their business.
