I saw this thing on Cribs once. T-Pain had it. Fucking hood of the car was a good foot over his fucking head. It's literally a semi-trailer cab.

6'4'' don't fit in anything else

My fucking ass. I'm 6'6'' and the only vehicle I've ever not actually been able to fit in was a Jeep Wrangler.

Overcompensating for a lack of everything but money.

What is with the comments in here? OP is spot on with their analysis. If it's not the actual truck from the pic, it's a jacked up 90's piece of shit with 34s, or it's a simple F150 dual cab, or hell, a 3 row Suburban. We drive fucking huge vehicles.

Go get in an MG, or ride a motorcycle...you'll understand how hardcore the excess has gotten here for vehicle size.

If I had to regularly tow a midsized excavator on a large gooseneck trailer, this size of truck would be a reasonable - if moderately excessive - option.

Otherwise, outside of “let’s haul some large earthmoving equipment” use cases, it is stupid to own a truck like this.

Someone somewhere in America's dick got hard over that picture.

Seriously, the cost of something like that is prohibitive. But to many, they aspire to such. And that's a problem.

See, the difference between this lemmy fuckcars, and the subreddit, is that, on the subreddit, I would get plenty of people who fell for the bait completely. On this lemmy, most of the top posts are people specifically refuting the bait. Of course, this does nothing to disincentivize the behavior, and increases the engagement of the post, compared to other, better posts, but it's still nice that the userbase could recognize the problems with this rather than just kind of buying in mindlessly because it seemed to agree with their political in group.

think about how much you hate it, then multiply that by having to live in the same country as 'em.

I have def seen this shit all over the midwest and central washington.

And in some states something like this can be the first car for some 16-years-old. You don't even need any special licenses to drive this monstrosity, imagine how many lives are being wasted because there is no proper regulation in place. Guys, you have to do something with it, it's not just your safety, it's the safety of everyone around you!
