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

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 see dicks are getting smaller these days
I personally know a guy who owns one of these things. He’s a mid-70s white guy who manages money. He lives in Washington DC. It’s the ugliest fucking car I’ve ever seen.
I put aside my dislike for trucks that are used for commutes or even less than that but bpy, is that an ugly disfigured design, lacking any kind of proper proportions.
Luckily that Compensator 9000 is certainly not street legal in the EU.
Not legal in DC, either, but unfortunately that doesnt stop people
The difference is the these laws are enforced here
Must be nice, lol. Unfortunately, in the US, most rules around the road legality of a vehicle are enforced during inspections, which not every state has. Even the states that have them have a really low cost on the inspection, so mechanics who do them are incentivized to just rubber stamp them.
Other than that, lots of problems are considered a “secondary offense”, which means you won’t be pulled over for it, but you can be ticketed for it if you are pulled over for another reason. Broadly, I dont think that’s necessarily a bad policy, but it does have the effect where they end up being effectively unenforced unless the cop has a reason to want to hit you with the book.
In the EU enforcement of traffic rules is a matter of member states, but many rules are codified on EU level, at least for what is street legal. That abomination above violates the common rules already quite clearly. It is thinkable that one can grey import individual cars and get a custom license for that but even than some modifications will be required, but that depends on the local authorities. In any case it must be hard or expensive as you basically don’t see that kind of nonsense on the streets.
If you are seen driving an obviously non-street legal car and can’t come up with papers to the contrary your vehicle gets immediately grounded, towed and you can call a taxi. If you are a repeat offender chances are you could lose your drivers license and when you are driving without one consequences can get much worse.
But hey, you can still get an Aixam for your mobility needs without a drivers license: https://www.aixam.com/en/ They even sell “Crossovers” for those with increased compensation needs.
Are RVs illegal in the EU? This doesn’t look bigger than those, just dumber.
There are likely numerous things that make this hard to get street legal. The one I am pretty certain are the tires extending beyond the anyway entirely dysfunctional (non street legal) fenders. This is horrendously dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
people entrust their money to somebody who makes decisions like this?
that’s… interesting
His taste in vehicles aside, he is apparently quite savvy with money management.
He also owns a Ukranian jet. Refurbished, of course.
Why though. What’s even the utility of something like this?
Surely, surely… the inconvenience and cost of having something like this in your life must outweigh that of renting a trailer for those off times when you need to haul something.
That thing just looks so stupid and huge and bad.
Car guy here, let me explain!
Nah I’m just fucking with you, I don’t have an explanation. This doesn’t look fun to drive on roads and despite having more ground clearance than something like a Toyota RAV4 and 6 wheel drive and everything, I wouldn’t take it off road either. So much distance between the first and second axle. Damn thing looks like it could bend pretty easily if you drive it the way one ought to drive an off-road vehicle with a Hellcat engine: Like a trophy truck. Because trophy trucks are built to take that beating and this is almost certainly not. So you can crawl slowly with your 900 horsepower tuned Hellcat and watch some dude in a Wrangler pass you at a fifth of the price and a third of the engine size because smaller and lighter is an advantage when going off road over heavy and clumsy usually.
😆
Yeah dude, it just makes no sense whatsoever except as a dick extender. Such nonsense.
Also you could actually buy a dick extender that’s actually amazing to drive on road for that money AND have enough money left over to buy something that’s better than this off road
And probably a literal dick extender, too! 🥒
Amazing. You can fit soooo many groceries in that after yoga class.
Looks like both yours and OP’s image are from here: apocalypse6x6.com
The absolutely irony of these chud tanks is that theybwpuld be the FIRST vehicles to break down in the apocalypse.
Oh I love this. So many parts so exposed, if someone carried a grudge they’d just take a cordless angle grinder to it and it’d be disabled without you even noticing until you try to drive it away. Shit, you could just cut into the engine block sooo easily.
What the fuck are those actually supposed to be good for?

Fits the general tastelessness I observed around the Beltway.
The Canyonero was ruled unsafe for highway or city driving by the Federal Highway Commission.
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.
To be fair, it does look totally badass at first glance.
Reminds of those pictures I used to draw of future vehicles with more huge wheels and tracks and sections than necessary. And there were usually laser cannons and grappling hooks on them.
This specimen appears to have neither a laser turret nor giant robot crane claw or saws mounted on it, thus, unacceptable.
Take it away, it offends me.
The Compensator.

What a ridiculous gender affirming vehicle.
Woah I’ve never seen a fully rendered cyber truck, I always just see the ps2 model.
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.
Guy probably has an arsenal at home, has a bunch of guns in the truck and at least one or two on him at all times.
And he will be taken out with 1 drone strike if it ever came to actual conflict. I wonder how much that monstrosity cost.
deleted by creator
More than the drone
It was only $10k, actually. Just put something down, drive it for a few months and let the repo guy come get it. Cheaper than renting.
Nah you just roll the negative equity into the next one and then the one after that and
At the end of the spiral you’ll have a base model F-150 with 200k principal owed on it at only 17,9% APR for 10 years

How about the armored trucks for soccer moms ?
“Militarized Luxury”
Wut
Looks kind of awesome. Needs an EV version.
Brought to you by the people who wanted to ban games like Carmaggedon.
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.
