If your vehicle cannot fit In a parking spot, then you shouldn’t park there. If you over park because of this, you should get towed. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Hey! Have some compassion! Fragile egos need a lot of protection…
Saw a similarly beefed up car take up 4 spots once in a parking lot. They pulled forward and so took up both spaces front and back, but also was too wide and so just parked down the middle. Only way it gets worse is they park diagonally to take up even more spaces.
To be fair, the person in the BMW is probably a wanker too.
I’d rather get hit by the bmw than the truck
I rather drive a BMW than those trucks. I use to drive tractor trailers, plus my current job let’s me drive all kinds of vehicles and I definitely hate driving these behemoths. You are completely disconnected from the driving and they ride like shit. I really despise jeep wranglers and how can people drive them as a daily, cuz they ride like ass and wander around everywhere. Now a wrangler as an off road toy is nice.
The bmw owner might also be a bit more careful about hitting things. A human isn’t just a speedbump when you drive a car instead of a monster truck.
It’s an old one, so the wanker potential is way down
Americans love pedastrian safety
This is not a car, it’s a truck, and should require a commercial license to drive.
Shaquille O’Niel owned one of these, and he’s literally the only person who ever has that could justify it as “this is the only one I fit in”.
No, still not. This is a disgracemobile.
He would fit fine in a Fiat Multipla, or VW Caddy. They have loads of room. We have 7 foot rugby players that fit fine in those.
There are much more reasonable cars for extremely tall people.
People with big trucks should just jack their shit up high enough for the rest of us to drive under them.
The dumbest one I came across was equally high but had a handicap license plate, placard and all. I wish I grabbed a picture.
I know some physical disabilities might still let you climb a ladder to get into your vehicle but c’mon.
I mean… Most considerate big truck owner actually
Overlooked point. Where I come from those monsters park exclusively in compact parking spots.
Or are crooked or take up other spots or not all the way in the spot. This driver is clearly very aware of their oversized vehicle and not only parked on the farthest place , but left a ton of space next to them, pulled all the way in, as far as they could, AND is totally straight.
I’m all for public transportation and evolution towards sustainable non-waste infrastructure, but this community is the epitome of “bitch eating a cracker” 90% of the time. Sometimes the jokes are funny, but a lot of the time the logic and criticisms are… Misguided or preemptive.
When I see something like this, I agree with my country 72% taxation on gas. If they had to pay $8 per gallon like us, they wouldn’t buy those monsters
In California they often reach over 5$ a gallon, and will drive them.
They still buy them and then bitch constantly about how expensive gas is.
Those tires and lift kits cost them 20-30% more fuel, but engineering is for lefties.
No, they’ll bitch about gas prices being high because of Biden.
Thanks Obummer
Google says California gas and sales tax together are only about 71¢/gallon.
While we understand gas is expensive in California, relative to the rest of the us, it’s not expensing globally and 71¢/gallon is not much tax globally. The tax really needs to be much higher, for the cost of the roads and other costs to society. Google also claims this tax covers 80% of California road maintenance, so I’d argue it needs to be 25% higher. But that’s only maintenance, not new construction, and doesn’t at all cover the harm done, so really ought to be much higher
California has the highest state gas taxes in the us so the rest of us are much worse.
Gas taxes that don’t even cover road maintenance are too low.
Gas taxes that don’t cover the externalised cost of emissions are also too low. But I don’t think any jurisdiction taxes that way.
My bigger objection are people using this argument to try to add unfairly high EV taxes
No, EV taxes don’t need to cover road maintenance if gas taxes don’t, and no, EV taxes don’t need to be extra high because of a weight penalty, when ice pickups weigh more and the difference is a rounding error relative to big trucks
But I do believe in vice taxes as a way to guide consumer choices. The most fair choice is to tax all road vehicles by miles and weight, without regard to technology, plus a vice taxes on gasoline (like we do with alcohol) to account for the damage it does to society and to discourage use.
Agreed.
`miles * weight * small number
I’m more surprised the vehicles are not swapped. Average BMW owner:
And the BMW is much better and nicer car to drive as well
The seats are so comfortable while waiting for the tow truck.
At this point shouldn’t it be fuck MRAPs or fuck tanks?
Twice the engineering in the little one though
I don’t get how mods like this are legal. The original truck was bad enough, but wow.
they are illegal in most states, but of course, after 2020 and Antifa, police stopped working.
They often aren’t. For instance the wheels protruding past the fenders too far is likely not legal. They just pull off the wheels and put on a stock set when the yearly inspection is due, then put the big ones back on when it passes. Cops don’t bother ticketing for this stuff.
You’re right, they’re definitely not going to ticket themselves
Visiting southern US for the holidays. There was a truck idling to warm it up yesterday, it was 47F out. We saw the driver walking up as we passed so proceeded to have a conversation about big strong manly men in their big strong manly trucks being able to handle “a bit of a chill”.
