You don’t fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

It’s an Emotional Support Truck, which is hilarious based on how opposed they are to gender affirming care.
Well that truck IS their gender affirming care 😂😭
And yet they cling to it while disavowing the concept.
Unfortunately you cannot reason a person out of a position they did not reason themselves into!
Who needs reason when you get to take up half of the next guys parking space! No need for thinkin’ when you look down on commercial vehicles.
But this way they can pretend it’s not.
🏆
Fuck these big ass trucks, should be illegal!
They should reduce the height on parking garages to exclude them.
They have a steel beam barrier at 6’2" at the entrance to my hospital parking and some broski rams into it every week.
Why does he keep coming back?
Micropenis treatments.
It feels so good when he stops.
Agreed, but that’s probably an issue for fire safety. There’s probably some regulation that mandates a minimum height.
And some vans designed for transporting people with wheelchairs/powerchairs could be blocked out.
And vans in general, they’ve only gotten taller and taller in recent years. Many look like a good gust of wind’d knock them over.
That was actually a problem with briefly-very-popular conversion vans.
I dunno, I’ve met parking garages I couldn’t safely walk through at a modest 6’5"
Because of newer fire codes that required retrofitting sprinklers.
Just let the air out of the tires so they dont have to worry about scraping.
Also I have a tiny old but tall van, it’s exactly 15 feet long and narrower than most modern compact cars, but it’s over 6 ft tall. It does fit in most parking decks, and never sticks out of the spot.
Vans are the real vehicle for trades. You can fit way more gear, it’s all locked up and weather protected, and the vehicle footprint is still smaller.
There is almost nothing a pickup truck does better than a van when it comes to work vegicles for the trades.
I generally agree but it really depends what work the vehicle is used for. In my line of work, regulations require us to have a fully separated cab from where the gear and load are kept so we’re basically forced to use pickups.
That being said, only on-call team leads bring the trucks home and we’re not allowed to use the trucks for personal use so they’re basically only at our shop/base or at a worksite.
It’s wild to remember this joke was from 1998, yet I can swear trucks have gotten even bigger since then. I remember most pickup trucks having a compromise between cab space and bed space. My brother’s first truck had two seats in the front and two side seats squished behind it - that is, it was such a small space that the seats faced inwards from the wall and we had to fold our legs so our knees went up. It was actually pretty fun to sit back there, I had a friend who’d ask him specifically to drive us places because she loved that feature.
But nowadays it seems most pickup trucks (that I see, in the US) gave up on making that compromise, like the truck in the post image. Full cab in front like it’s trying to be a family sedan, then a long-ass bed that makes the thing stick out pretty much anywhere it parks.
I’d say “pick a lane,” but with the size of these things, I don’t have high hopes.
I had a Chevy s-10 back from those days that could pull those large trucks out the mud. It also had a single “removed seat” in the back (not a comment on women at all. Just If you’re in that seat… you’re the little removed of the group)
I don’t hate people who have trucks. You need it for work… and even large trucks maybe you need it out on the farm and it’s not your fault they keep getting bigger. You still need a truck for work and that’s just the way they come now.
If I see a CLEAN truck that large I’m pissed. That’s a vanity truck. A vanity truck that’s fucking with my sidewalk room.
I miss my old four cylinder Tacoma sometimes but my mini van is so much more practical. I have a trailer and hitch when I need to haul something I don’t want in the van. I looked at Tacomas again a few years ago and was floored at how big they were, I swear they are the size the full size tundras used to be.
A while back, i watched my friend help another friends mom into his truck in an icy parking lot- by using the Tommy gate as an elevator to get her the 2.5’ up to the other trucks door.
TBF, at least both actually use their trucks for work. Tommy gate is a stone mason and thw other guy I regularly see hauling trees to plant for landscaping.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,

Prophetic lmao
I really think driving these things around should only be legal for work purposes.
They should require a commercial license, have hardware speed limiters, be restricted to only the right lane of the highway, and require biannual safety inspections. You want to cosplay as a trucker, you get to live by trucker rules.
Don’t forget obligated resting times!
We did just fine before these existed. They should just be outright banned, and the existing ones be phased out in some way where the owners aren’t completely screwed (though, if I were being vindictive I’d say tough shit, you shouldn’t have participated in this arms race)
I’ve seen an increase in these dumb trucks in my small European city. Every single one in pristine condition, so you know the pricks don’t use them for work. A few stood out with expectedly dumb details. One had a license plate a la “I love USA”, and another had a sticker “0800-EAT-SHIT”. I’m pissed EU doesn’t have the balls to ban them altogether.
Interesting how giant stupid trucks attract douchebags world wide.
Sensible person…hmmm a big truck I don’t need will cost me a lot in fuel, I will by an average car.
Sensitive person…hmm this giant truck will pollute my community and add to global climate issues, I will buy a very fuel efficient car/EV.
Doucebag…this truck will make me look so bad ass with the trucknuts in back, while I roll coal
See, that right there.
I used to have a massive F-550, but it was so beat up and had the connections to make use of that towing capacity.
Most of these trucks have never been off the pavement and never hauled more than groceries.
Also, an F-250 now is the size of my F-550 in the 90s.
I’ve counted. In my area of Canada less than 3% of pickups that I see are being used as anything other than a commuter car at any given time.
These insecure dumbasses define their worth by the size of their truck. The things are just $100,000 fashion accessories. Emotional support vehicles.
Micro penis energy is what emanates from these large trucks. Et least that’s often how they are perceived in France.
I need to figure out some way to plausibly scratch these things with deniability. Maybe an umbrella with a metal tip sticking out of my bag. Whoops, sorry, couldn’t be helped, total accident.
Perhaps a simple trip/stumble while holding a handful of sharp metal objects that happen to make contact as you reach out to prevent a full fall, clumsy me…
Tungsten carbide tips on the umbrella.
I think they’re banned in the UK. Too big for the roads in a city that was built for horses.
They’re not banned. I live in the country and there’s a lot of Dodge Rams, Ford Rangers (and the odd Fx50 imports round here.
UK is also the spiritual home of the Land Rover, and those fuckers are insanely big now. The ionos grenadier is a beast also…
The argument is almost always “I need it to tow”/drive it over field a hill but it’s typically some farm lad running it on red diesel and claiming it’s for farm purposes (on his way to or from the pub)…
Seen one recently. Don’t know how it is in Americas, but for the rest of the world this is unnecessarily, stupidly, obscenely big. It doesn’t fit anywhere, it consumes fuel in barrels, visibility is near zero, the pickup format is extremely impractical for everyday use. This is a climate-churning, people-pressing machine that makes 0 sense.
There’s only one reason for having this truck: micropenis compensation.
Eh, unless you need to haul heavy equipment. Damn, Lemmy is worse than Reddit when it comes to these things.
Not sure if it’s mostly kids or just naive adults.
Yeah the real point is that the vehicle you haul your dirt bikes in and the vehicle you park at the airport are ideally different, but it’s very understandable that they aren’t. Also I’m certain that truck isn’t backed in all the way. It’s stupid big, but not 2x longer than the space big.
Yeah. I think inconsiderate usage of them are the bigger problem…
Also, people that have these trucks, never use them to haul shit, lift them up and put low profile large rims on…deserve every bit of hate.
Driving them around unloaded is a terrible experience. The suspension is designed with a minimum load in mind. Without this preload the whole thing is significantly over-sprung and a terrible ride.
Not just Americans haul large things, yet you don’t see these monstrosities in Asia, Africa, South America or Europe. Don’t know about Australia, never been there. Other countries just use lorries of any size. Americans use these micropenis compensators for shopping carts. Also, in the 80’s and 90’s pickup trucks were much smaller yet the bed size wasn’t much different. So why have it this enormous when there’s no benifit to it, other than an ego boost? It’s just so fucking dumb.
Not sure if it’s mostly kids or just naive adults.
Right back at ya mate.
lol k
A bunch of people have these in my apartment building, I assure you they never haul anything except maybe 3 cases of water bottles. People are morons buying these as daily drivers to the office.
I think you can trace a lot of these problems back to legislation and the classification of work vehicles which receive bigger tax/incentives and going bigger and bigger is continually more beneficial to car manufacturers as increasing the size and cost of the standard car is their way of profit growth. Unfortunately this comes at the cost of safety, road conditions, infrastructure space/costs, the environment and consumer costs.
Climate town has an excellent video where they explain how the American SUV became so dominant and pushed this kind of thinking from car manufactures practically all because Jeep was failing and lobbied to change the laws so they could sell cars (obviously a huge oversimplification)
Does the rest of the world never need to move around equipment or trailers? In America these are every bit as useful as whatever country your from lol. Most of the time people here use them as daily drivers which is obscene but if it’s a business truck a big diesel can be more than necessary. A gas 4 cyl Tacoma is NOT pulling near half what a 2 ton chassy with a diesel V8 can
When normal people need to move stuff, they attach a trailer to their normal-sized car.
Even the car in the foreground is considered large in my country.
Normal people don’t need to haul over 30k lbs on a regular basis. Businesses sometimes do! These vehicles are not supposed to be daily drivers their supposed to be work horses. A 2 ton diesel chassy is made for hauling big loads, and if you don’t need to haul big loads you don’t need one simple as that! Really the only “regular people” I can fathom owning a rig like that are farmers otherwise they really are only useful in construction and other contracting gigs that require lots of equipment hauling to job sites, or in the case of where I work the need to haul multiple vehicles on a gooseneck at a time.
Yes, and businesses have business vehicles with cheaper taxes, which cannot be used privately. Small/solo businesses can be partly exempted from this.
The size of that thing is completely ridiculous and would be a major nuisance/hazard, to drive around in a city
Not to mention a lot of these new trucks of that stature have WORSE visibility than a semi truck! You could run over a group of children in a cross walk and have no idea 😳 it is honestly surprising there’s not more licencing for driving a vehicle larger than x size. Hell any moron with a regular driver’s licence can get behind the wheel of a RV that’s 40 feet long, and one fuck up in a vehicle that weighs that much can cause a LOT of damage.
Yes the rest of the world needs to move around equipment and trailers. And they can do it without obscene trucks like this lol.
What makes America so incompetent that they need a truck like this to do it?
Right so what do they use in the rest of the world to tow a skid steer + equipment or multi car good neck haulers or anything in that 30k+ lb payload? A gas 4 cyl Tacoma isn’t going to cut it. Neither will a V8 or V8 half ton truck. Do they just hire out tractors to do that kind of payload hauling? At work we somewhat regularly have to pull 20+k lbs so we have a big crew cab long box cummings to haul shit like that. Thing is a country mile long but it stays in its parking spot unless it’s getting a trailer hooked to it. If that seems excessive what vehicle do you recommend it gets replaced with? And don’t limit yourself to us mkt I’m genuinely curious !
You’re listing specific examples that literally no one has a problem with. Yes, if you’re moving large equipment you need a large tool to do so. The general public doesn’t do this, like… Ever. The dude in the photo has almost certainly never towed anything with it. These kinds of vehicles serve a purpose, but the vast majority of them are sold to people who will NEVER use it for that purpose, who just take up excess room in lots and on the streets, rolling around with visibility that makes a fucking TANK look like it’s got a clear line of sight.
There’s a whole host of political and cultural reasons that these vehicles are as popular as they are. Almost none of it is actual, practical requirement. No one cares about the worker using the tool to do a job, we’re pissed at the pavement princesses who drive around like they own the place without doing an honest day’s work in their lives. Hope that cleared some of the confusion up.
Fair enough. There isn’t much more frustrating than going to the regional transfer station in my little 5 speed hatch back and throwing out a load of trash every bit as large as the 3/4 ton big boy toy next to me LOL. For what it’s worth at least in my state anything over 10k lbs has a significantly higher annual tax rate and their paying for their stupidity with 6$ a gal diesel rn. I just felt as though some were bashing trucks like these for existing as if there isn’t legitimate use cases for them, although if I had to hazzard a guess maybe 1/3 of units sold actually get used for anything a civic couldn’t fulfil and thsts probably being generous.
That’s fair. I think a lot of us have been conditioned to see these giant trucks as primarily daily drivers that best case scenario are occasionally an overpowered tool for an occasional hobby such as dragging around a camper once a year or grabbing some building supplies that people back in the day absolutely used a Tacoma or an suv for. If I see a pro grade pickup truck doing professional stuff I see it as a work tool, but if I see one in the parking lot of my way into work I see it as being driven by a tool.
And yeah I’m just sick of being surrounded by large pro grade vehicles being used in contexts where they’re not needed and are impeding on everyone else’s space and visibility.
I saw a lifted oversized pickup in my town in the UK. It was hilarious. Like this one it was long, way bigger than those big Fords which are becoming more common here. And lifted. It also made a big brrr noise.
All of those things are true in the US. It is just somehow culturally acceptable here that a third of the cars commuting to the office or stopping at the grocery store are giant trucks that should be commercial vehicles.
Id say the pickup is just fine. Its these borderline semi trucks that are not. Ill take an old nissan or toyota truck any day and it’ll do what i need it for. This is just a “big” dick truck.
this looks like the micropenis ones, small bed by a massive 4 door front.
in almost all cases, a van is a better working vehicle
have had my taco for 18 years and parts availability is starting to be an egg hunt, but i aint trashing it just yet. ive done as much or more work with mini me, than any coca cola cowboy
this one looks lifted too.
What is even the point of these, from what i seen the truck bed does not seem that much bigger if at all then a normal pickup truck?
Cosplaying as a “real worker”.
What’s worse is that lack of visibility kills and the engine bay is mostly empty space (see the outro in the video).
The bed is like the truck balls, it’s only there for manly affirmation, but really serves no practical purpose.
I agree in 90 percent of cases but I have one with a fucked up bed and it’s only six months old. I use it every other day to do deliveries.
In the south, trucks like that are practically a status symbol. Lift kit, knotted tires (bald within a year because they only drive it on paved roads), expensive ass brush guard with a winch that’s never been used, spray in bedliner with big diamond plate bed box, pristine multi-trailer hitch, Yeti/Browning/fjb/FAFO/tbl/wE tHe PeOpLe decal on the window along with whatever big football college they never went to…
The most they’ve ever hauled in it is groceries, and the dirtiest it ever gets is when it rains. If any mud get on it for any reason they leave it on for as long as possible
deleted by creator
They store the vehicle’s pee and warn the other drivers?
Do…you think balls store pee?
Its a meme reply
Searching for “balls store pee meme” leads to a bunch of serious talk about this. Hopefully I don’t remember any of it.
Heh
Big diesel crew cab rigs are for towing trailers while hauling a crew. Think land scaping, construction etc.not too useful for the average joe using it as a Honda civic but for the right business they are exactly what you need.
I’d personally hate to use one of these for any of those jobs, I’d need a ladder to get the fucking ladder out of the bed. Ignore me, I’m just getting old and confused as to why the truck keeps getting bigger, but the bed keeps getting smaller. Even a shitbox from 1995 has a full 8 foot bed but for some damn reason, now they are almost impossible to find.
I like that GM brought back the Avalanche’s midgate for their electric Silverado, but I wish that was available on more trucks. Default configuration is a short-bed family hauler, but you drop the midgate and it becomes a 2-seater with an 8’ bed.
Best truck I ever worked out of was a long box regular cab s10 lol. Drop the tail gate down and u only have to lift crap somewhere between your knees and hips to load it, these big short bed trucks I have to hoist stuff up about chest high to load it then I’m out of room in no time because the beds like 4 feet long LOL. Usually those big trucks are for towing stuff and putting a couple pack outs in the trunk (bed would be too generous). Quite frankly if u don’t need a goose neck a 2500 van is probably the ticket, can tow about the same as a 2500 truck but u have a useful covered cargo area that’s easy to load and more secure.
It’s a 5 seat sedan with a bed they don’t use. the point is they want to look mean
normally youd get more torque because its a bigger engine but this dudes truck in the city so theres actually no point but the point is so you can pull stuff out of mud or tow your tractor or somthin on your farm
The beds of pickup trucks are largely vestigial, they’re designed as crew plus trailer haulers. A truck like that will be advertised pulling a yacht on a trailer over the Rockies. It’s got enough bed to put a gooseneck hitch in. A van or SUV will keep up with a pickup with a Class IV hitch, but a pickup truck is a miniature tractor trailer now.
Using the bed as a bulk cargo box is actually pretty rare these days.
So you can buy a mini van/suv, BUT say you have a truck! Because beer beer, truck truck, girls in tight jeans
I blame the truck manufacturers more than the poor, deluded shlubs who buy them. There used to be standards in the industry but “big” costs more so they make more money (initially…while pricing a whole class of citizens out of the market).
The manufacturers definitely have a large share of the blame, but people still have the agency to make better choices.
I blame lack of regulation.
Regulation (in a way) is exactly how we got into this situation. CAFE was meant to enforce emissions standards, but the way it was written meant that making a bigger vehicle resulted in a lower fuel economy requirement. The Chicken Tax essentially stopped foreign trucks from being able to compete in the US market, which meant that Ford/GM/Dodge got to create an oligopoly.
regulation only works if the laws are not written by the companies that are being regulated
They fought it. I’m sure they’d prefer if there were no environmental or gas efficiency regulations at all. And when the laws passed anyway they found loopholes. The laws were written by well meaning but naive politicians, none of whom really understood the problems they were trying to address.
A truck is only slightly more expensive to produce than a sedan when all costs are taken into account, but can be sold at a higher price.
The main difference between a truck and a sedan is a few hundred pounds of metal. Both have the same cost in labour to manufacture, as well as equivalent R&D cost. In some cases, trucks have lower R&D because they aren’t expected to change as much from year to year, so the engineering cost of re-designing parts/panels/etc. just isn’t there.
I am right there with you. I’m not super big on blaming individuals for stuff like this. I saw an old Tacoma parked next to one of these monsters the other day and I was like, holy smokes, the size is just out of control.
They would stop making it if people didn’t buy it.
Every single person that has one of these should be shamed to hell and back for it.
I don’t know of a single justification, either. At all.
Forget cat narc, we need truck narc who just chips the fronts of all these monsters off.
There’s someone with a new Tacoma on my campus and even that fucking thing has a front hood higher than my sedan’s roof.
In 2012 the federal fuel economy standards were changed to no longer consider the classification of vehicle, but just its footprint. So suddenly a Corolla had less-strict fuel economy requirements than a small truck.
So the Ranger, Dakota, S-10, etc were all discontinued, and manufacturers learned that the easiest way to meet fuel economy standards was to make the vehicles bigger every time the requirements increase.
It’s also why around 2022, every small cargo van (NV200, Transit Express, ProMaster City) stopped being produced. It’s also why the Maverick has the “standard” model as the hybrid while the one you can actually find at the dealers is the “upgrade” traditional engine.
Point of order, the S10 was discontinued in 2003 and 2004.
Correct. I meant the Colorado, which they took off the market for the 2013 and 2014 models to redesign as a larger truck. Ford did the same thing.
That was a particularly dumb error on my part, BTW. I owned a 2001 S10 and 2012 Colorado. Now I own a 2020 NV200.
If I buy a car, it apparently gets discontinued soon afterwards.
I still have my 2003 S10. I got one of the last few thousand extended cab S10s made. I haven’t ever driven a Colorado, but…I don’t think there’s a pickup that will do the job of an S10 better than my truck, they’ve all mutated into 6 ton penis enhancement sedans wearing ceremonial miniature cargo boxes.
I loved my S10. It was the best vehicle I ever had.
I bought it in 2005 for $3,000 with 42k miles on it because the previous owner’s dad was a drunk and kept rubbing the side of it pulling in and out of the driveway. I didn’t care that the paint looked bad, and I drove that truck for 11 years. I sopd it when the engine gave up the ghost, but kinda wished I’d just paid for the repair instead of buying the Colorado, which I was never really pleased with.
I’ve loved the NV200 though. I teach scuba as a side gig and it makes a great dive gear hauler.
I get offers for my S10. I reply “What would you offer the Lone Ranger to buy Silver?”
I blame both considering how often I see people brag about how big their trucks are. Motherfucker you’ve got a short bed and extended cabin, and you’re out here talking about an engine like you need to be able to go 90 while hauling an oversized trailer.
Sure you can’t buy a small truck anymore, and it’s getting harder to buy compact cars, subcompacts, and even full sized sedans, but it’s not like all trucks sold today are that big.
“wHy MuH gAs So ExPeNsIvE?”
Dawg, you’re driving around a tank, that’s why. And you’re not impressing anyone else except other chuds.
Well not only “big = more expensive” the larger engines also have lower efficiency requirements. It’s much easier to make cars bigger and more “chugging” because they don’t have to meet the efficiency standards and because it’s bigger they can charge more.
It’s another symptom of the infinite growth mindset that is not only plaguing boardrooms but average citizens.
I recall at previous job I worked, an old guy bought a giant truck, I think it was a GMC 6500. I’m between 6’1" to 6’3", depending on which gas station I’m leaving. I could easily walk under the side mirrors.
He worked second shift. I’d see it in the lot when i was leaving and it’d be gone when I arrived in the morning. I noticed in the morning, the truck was sitting in 1 spot for about 2 weeks before I asked around.Apparently the hurt himself while leaving one late night. He was climbing in and fell out backwards. I think it sat in one spot for another 6 weeks before someone finally came and got. It was an obnoxiously large truck
My neighbour used to park his truck sticking way out like that, but it wasn’t all the way back in the spot.
I left a note on it saying: “It’s not as big as you think it is, you have to put it all the way in.”
From then on it was parked properly.
I too would retell that anecdote at every opportunity.
I think that it’s going to take societal change to stop this from being the norm. In Australia there was a road safety campaign with the slogan:
“Speeding. No one thinks big of you.”
It essentially compared speeding with having a small penis, by using the metaphor of a wiggling pinkie, and thus embarrassing perpetrators.
In other words, it needs to become uncool to drive such a massive vehicle. Perhaps “The bigger the trick, the smaller the …”

Here in Australia, a ram 1500 nearly hit me on my bike by going the wrong way around a roundabout too. They didn’t even slow down to check.
I slammed my brake and swerved.
If they can’t even successfully navigate a right hand turn on a roundabout, they shouldn’t be here. And the drivers park and drive them at a lower standard, instead of higher too
And the IGA near me is full of large utes during lunch hours using 2-3 parking spots each.
The two utes?
Excuse me, uh did you say yutes?
Yeah your honor the two yutes.
Uh, what is a yute?
Oh excuse me your honor - two youTHs.
Also, I actually drive a Jeep Unlimited (which is actually a fairly big car). And yet, never had an issue fitting into any of these spots. I’ve literally seen though ute drivers who pull into a spot badly, and not even try to fix the issue. Considering buying some stickers to throw on their windscreen.
Only a removed, drives a truck.
Something like that?
Maybe shame and embarrassment would work, but the kind of people who drive this kind of car are probably anti-social assholes who don’t care about other people very much.
But these people get off on being jerks. There’s something wrong with their brain so empathy doesn’t work right.

The automatic linking feature breaks with a URL ending in a period.
Thank you, fixed.
I don’t think that will work. The comparison has been made but doesn’t seem to phase people. I think IED might be only the solution, since the people who drive these don’t seem to care in the least that they are a lethal danger to everyone in a smaller vehicle/on a bike/pedestrian.
Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.
Did you mean: Speeding. No one thinks big of you.?
I think you wanted that second period.
Not sure what you mean. When I click the link on my post, it goes to where I intended. Note that I removed an errant period at the end of the URL about an hour ago.

Remember when Hummer came out with a consumer SUV back in the early 90s? I remember thinking they were gigantic and too big for the roads/parking spots. Quick search tells me the wheel base was 130inches (3.3m or 10.8ft). Here it is completely in a parking spot.
A modern F250 supercab with an 8-foot bed is 175.9in (4.5m / 14.7ft). A 6.75-foot bed, the wheelbase is 147.8in (3.75m / 12.3ft). I wish we could go back to the days of the Hummer…I wish we could go back to the days of the Hummer…
I wish there was a size max for cars where even the hummer would not be allowed on the road. Cars like pickup trucks and SUV’s increase danger for others. It would be better if there was more public transportation and less cars, and the only cars out there are just plain cars and vans for delivery / mechanic services etc. Because why should other people have a higher risk of dying just because someone has a micropenis?
“Normal” SUVs are something like 70% more likely to kill the pedestrian in a collision with one that cars like sedans.
SUVs are anti-social cars.
IMHO, it’s a great example that The Law isn’t really done to protect common people that those things are allowed on the road when they’re actually unecessary (unlike, say, delivery vans) and almost twice as deadly for other people than normal cars.
Yeah, that’s exactly my point, and there are loads of statistics supporting out claims, yet the automotive industry still has way too much influence so roads are being widened and public transport isn’t improved enough and made cheaper. At least here in the Netherlands a lot is done to improve medestriab and cycling infrastructure, and ways to reduce cars in cities (or sometimes van them completely) but nothing is done about the massive tank death trap SUV’s, usually with a driver more interested in his phone than driving safely (because chance of injury is low while driving it, fuck the rest right… FFS)
I just think it should require additional restrictions and licensure. It’s a work vehicle. I want masons to be able to get into cities with their rocks, but I want them to have to either flag out a spot because they’re working there or find an oversized vehicle spot when they aren’t. And I don’t want Steve the middle manager driving one just because he thinks they’re cool and fashions himself a bit rural
It’s only in the US that people have these massive pickup trucks for work. Here in the EU people use regular lorries for masonry work etc. Trucks that require a special license. Also ambulances and firefighter trucks are much smaller. Pickup trucks do make sense for farmers for example, but the sizes from the 60’s till 90’s are fine. They don’t have to be massively oversized. The bed size usually isn’t much bigger. In the EU the American sized micropenis trucks can barely navigate through our streets as the streets are smaller and the turn radius of those trucks are to wide for our corners. In the US they increased street size to facilitate massive vehicles at the cost of safety to pedestrians, cyclists and buildings (as people are invited to drive faster and crash into buildings when losing control). With narrow streets, speed bumps which are fine to cross at low speed and tight corners, speeding makes no sense so usually people don’t lose control and if they would, they would hit a tree (without much injury or any at all) or get to a stop when bumping onto a sidewalk ledge (which are designed to make the wheel turn back onto the road so the car won’t get onto the sidewalk). But in the US there are many roads that don’t even have sidewalks, and no cycling infrastructure what so ever. To get from your home to a supermarket 100m away you are forced to take a car as walking is too dangerous. Like, what the actual fuck.
After the second World War Rotterdam was completely destroyed. They rebuilt it like an American city. Due to the high amount of accidents, of which many had fatalities, they completely changed it to a pedestrian and cyclist friendly city within a few years. So the argument of Americans that it’s simply not possible to change an entire city (I hear this often) is bullshit. Just add more public transportation and you can use the maaaaany massive parking lots to new building sites which will only create more income (more businesses on a smaller area) than that it costs. It also removes a lot of congestion, which saves all working people a lot of money too. Every hour less in traffic is an extra hour you can work, or can spend at home with your family etc. And the air pollution will decrease, increasing health and decreasing load on the health care system. Emergency services response times will decrease. I can go on and on about why it would be better. There are many examples of cities that, show statistically why it’s better that way. If only people would follow good examples.
why should other people have a higher risk of dying just because someone has a micropenis?
Always has been. These days this just also enables “normal people” with micropenis to endanger their fellow citizens.
But micropenises basically, in all of history, sent other people to their deaths. Be it war, starvation, random generic atrocities, you name it.
I feel micropenis is a metaphor for something else here.
I can’t help but think the H1 is fucking cool. They’re not that long but they are W I D E.
Would cost an absolute fortune to fill with gas these days lol
It’s diesel.
Life-Pro-Tip: Just reverse-power a diesel generator to produce diesel with your own solar energy.
Leg room is shit in the humvee if you’re tall but they’re beefy bois that can crawl through damn near anything.
Damn, I’m tall
I remember when they first came out, someone tried to take an H2 down this narrow one way brick road with high curbs in our town, and managed to wedge himself in between the curbs completely stuck, threatening to shed his sideways if he went forward of backwards
LoL nice I would have just stood there and laughed at that loser
The actual HMMWV is actually a pretty cool and reasonable vehicle for medium utility tasks and off roading. What the Hummer became and what passes for consumer light trucks is ridiculous.
then it catered to SOCCER mom types, which were made absurdly large.
It’s an old geezer’s car compared to a stadium super truck, if they were street legal…
