    Typically lifted trucks that are supposed to “look cool” like they’re capable of offroading, but would get stuck the moment they actually went off road.

      Ohh, so “pavement” meaning a sealed road surface?

      In my head I’m trying to figure out what the footpath (U.S. “sidewalk”) a.k.a. U.K. pavement fits in with the jibe.

        Yeah, U.S. pavement. A U.K. pavement princess would be a Mustang. They sure don’t like to stay on the road when trying to burn out.

        Yep, at least in Canada “pavement” is either a sealed asphalt road surface, or the walking path in a garden or public park. Never the footpath on the side of a road, that’s a sidewalk or footpath.

        A more common term for them here is “brodozer”. A portmanteau of “bro” and “bulldozer”.
