I would rather a old minivan

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

You called them out so they just spent more, the meme tracks in many ways
Oh yeah, well I have an invisible, waterproof, rocket tank with integrated toaster oven. Just so I have the option.
"All the time!"
Welp, can't really prove it disprove the claim, so conversation over either way.

Shit. I made edibles. Had to test them. Now high. This made me laugh way too much 🤣🫠
Personally I love options which is why I hate cars. I love having the option of having 25 different subway services despite mostly using one maybe two services. I love the high speed rail on the NEC even though I never use it, I love the LIRR, and I love metro north.
I camp on jeep trails all the time but I've never owned a jeep. Currently driving a lifted Subaru. Thinking about a Tacoma for the future.
Stick with the Subie unless you need a truck bed.

my legs can reach all sorts of places lol, no need to bring a giant piece of metal with me
Sometimes people want (or need) to reach places faster and easier, while hauling more stuff. And, yes, there are other options -- bikes, motorbikes, horses, etc -- that could also reach places faster and haul more stuff ... but in many cases, the off-road car can still get there faster than those and/or haul more stuff.
I do agree that most of the time, off-road cars are dumb. But in the rare niche situation that you actually need one, it's really great at what it does. (And while it's ridiculous that so many people who don't need them buy them anyway and thus get less efficient, less practical cars than they really need ... it's still good that the off-road cars exist for the few who actually do need them.)
There's also a disability aspect to consider. Yes, your legs can reach all sorts of places ... but there are other people whose legs are, unfortunately, not so capable. For those people, an off-road car can give them access to more places where they'd otherwise never be able to go.
And then there's snow. For people living in places with lots of snow, but also too rural to have reliable snow plowing, a vehicle with some decent off-road capability might be the only transportation they can feasibly use for significant portions of the year.
