It’s genuinely insane that anyone is allowed to put that on a road

    This thing will fold like a bedsheet if it actually gets into a collision with a car

    I’ve never seen anything this ridiculous in person, but I’ve seen plenty of dumb trucks. Things like maybe lift kits and low profile tires, wheels kicked out to the side…so setup for off-road but with zero grip, shit turning radius, wobbles on the highway, and also shit for towing.

    The one that kills me is $80k trucks in the trailer park. Spend your money how you want, but it seems crazy to have a rapidly depreciating vehicle that’s worth more than your home.

    There must me an easier way to prove how big your dick is.

      Trailers aren’t cheap either. The park here has unremarkable units, not even new, in the 60-80k range. Almost a decade ago the lot rent fees were already over 500 a month, and they don’t even do any lawn care or snow removal.

      I was talking with a colleague once and he told me to type soemthig (can’t remember the name) into google, and that thing came up.

      Apparently there is a company, american of course that takes already big toy trucks and turns them into… that.

      Their website is full of like post apocalyptic talk. Cuz you know, a giant trucking guzzling gallons of a ressource that will be hard to come by, full of electronics that will stop working after even a tiny EMP hits, will be very useful.

        Fascists are all about surface aesthetics. That’s why everything’s about “optics” and “narrative” these days. They don’t have a sense of solid reality to any of it. So they see a film like Fury Road and think, ‘yes, cool. I must be like Joe’.

        They have no sense that Immortan Joe is a desperate fool who has squandered the humanity of everyone in his orbit. If you try to talk about themes and interpretations, you will be met with scorn. That’s my experience.

          But Immortan Joe’s got the peeps (he’s popular)! He must be fetching Valhalla (he must be doing something right)!

          The fact that Joe has peeps and you don’t makes him a better warrior than you! /s

        There is a use for dual tires for towing large trailers but not really like that and the extended cab makes it worse for doing any actual work.

        I think there was an episode of South Park where they told all the angry men that the average penis size was much smaller than it actually was and then they weren’t assholes anymore

          I remember that episode, it was called “T.M.I.”

          As far as the idea goes… it’s worth a shot. :D

    That’s something I would have used for my game idea called “Evil Car”, a car racing game, where you fuel cars with the blood of orphans, and tune them by sacrificing cute puppies and virgins to it.

    Idk, seems like a fun truck to get off roading with, but probably quite dangerous to drive in a city with… Also basically runs on burning money.

    In fairness I would have thought this looked cool… When I was 12.

    However, it’s almost a certainty that a “regular” truck could out perform this thing in every metric.

    Its notoriously difficult to get the dual rear axles to provide a meaningful benefit to traction and even load capacity.

    However, there will be a huge hit to economy, weight, acceleration, and handling.

    In summary it would be an absolute pig to own.

      12

      This is the key point. Most behaviour like this pretty much identical to twelve years kids wanting attention. I am going to guess anyone who wants to buy this has not receibed any real affection and attention from their parents.

      It’s because when you are 12, you still have a baby penis and no testicles, which is exactly the requirement for owning this truck.

      I drive an old ass S10 and it gets better gas mileage and has a bigger bed than most of the newer bigger trucks coming out these days.

    Agreed.

    The only plus here is that things like that are becoming cost-prohibitive to drive thanks to the scarcity of fuel and subsequent price gouging, but I can’t imagine the tiny peen syndrome required to make a vehicle like that attractive to a reasonable, grown man.
