Yank tanks truly are the peakest of cringe. I’d be embarrassed to show up in one of those things
“Yank Tank” 😂
Still see plenty of those out in western Canada.
They are an undeniably infectious disease.
But mah freedumb #rigpiglets
Welcome to America, where everyone hates everyone
Your point being proven in these comments already and it hasn’t even been 30m
USA is world’s biggest PvPvPvP… MMO
You mean PvE.
Oof, but also yes
How could you say that? I hate you for it. (/s)
Pfff that car ain’t even street legal in my country.
Some dude drives on of those where i live. I’ve never seen it move, it’s always parked on the same spot where it doesn’t fit. Completely with aouthern state flag and stickers that say that only gay cops pull him over and how every car that is not a v8 is for girls. I’d be so embarrassed to drive that thing.
I got more compliments from women while I was driving my 1.4L inline 4 Honda in a week than I got in 10 years with a 4.2L Ford V8.
So yeah, V8s attract men. Sensible cars are for girls.
Clearly he’s trying to attract a gay male cop
Pull me over daddy UwU
A 255? Who’s taking a second glance towards that choked smog era engine?
No. Accidentally robbed myself of .4L. 99 Crown Vic.
Gotcha. If I had one of those, I’d paint it black and pretend it was a Marauder
Left it white so people would think I was a cop and not drive like a lunatic.
So by his logic a Lamborghini Aventador is for girls.
Worse - Europeans
where i live, which is in the south, every 3 cars is one of these, they lift suvs too, so that increases the odds. when cops clock out they also drive one of these, even the gay ones. driving it is no big deal, its how they drive and what they do with it, usually road raging other road users, intimidating them, and trying to run them off the road, in other words bullying and intimidation, which is likely why they own one in the first place. why do they feel a strong desire to bully or intimidate anyone? that’s a great question. why do you have to knock out the biggest guy in jail to get any respect? …
There is a dealership here called lifted trucks(I know very straight forward. straight to the main selling point) they have more lots here than other dealerships.It is very clear the amount of lifted trucks here went up significantly. The whole city screams that I’m only doing it to get women because I’m insecure about myself. Which is the reason why I wish to move to Europe’s walkable cities or just move to a place with no one around.

I didnt say I owned a truck. I have a electric bike that I built. I said either go to a walkable city OR go to the middle of nowhere “living off the land.”
Have you ever heard of capitalization?
They’re trying to fight against CAPITAList oppression in any way they can.
reading comprehension?
I hope nothing happens to his tires
Also, it probably weighs over 3500 kg, so you’ll need a C license to drive it. Fun fact, if you have one of those, you can also drive a huge lorry. Why would you choose an eyesore like that, when you could be a badass rock hauler.
Either way, around here I almost always see both end up doing stupid shit on the road. I don’t give a fuck what you’re driving. Obey the rules of the road, follow the flow of traffic, be aware of your surroundings, and for fucks sake, signal properly and clearly! Nobody’s in a race. We can all get where we’re going safely and timely if y’all just stop acting like you’re escaping a war zone!
The difference is that one of the two can be use has a lethal weapon. I’ll let you guess wich one.
couldn’t agree with you more… can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly been hit by another car all because they cut in front of me suddenly, not signaling, naturally, and just sped off like they’re in a race. I will see ppl going nearly 100mph in the interstate, just weaving back and forth between lanes. will never understand why ppl have to be in such a damn rush all the time. what’s the point of getting somewhere 2 minutes sooner if you hurt or possibly kill someone along the way? worst part of it is that the cops here never seem to be around to keep assholes like that in check.
Oh it’s constant here, and they all act like you’re the problem. So many fatal accidents every year, pedestrians killed, at least one fatality due to people racing. Constant hit and runs. It’s like driving in GTA.
I just took a client to the mall a couple hours ago. On our way, we watched someone honk at the person next to me/in front of them at an intersection, they then tailgated them until the other person changed lanes, threw their drink, and screamed out the window. The driver’s crime, as far as I can tell, was because they didn’t move in the millisecond between when the light turned green and the psycho behind them lost their mind.
We’re in the off season now, too. Don’t even get me started when the tourists come!
plenty of hit and runs where I’m at also, especially for pedestrians. the amount of accidents even in just a week is scary. exactly! it’s almost like driving the speed limit is the crime now. there’s ppl who will pass on a non passing road just to get ahead of me bc I’m apparently driving too slowly. just the other day I got honked at bc the left turn light had just turned green, but the person in front of me hadn’t even started turning yet. no one has a speck of patience on the road. I just want to know why lmao
ffs, seriously? that’s such an extreme response. and it’s truly so mind blowing to me that there’s ppl who view pedestrian life as secondary to getting where they need to be. I’ve seen drivers swerve past pedestrians as they’re crossing and honk at them and everything. it’s wild out here.
This is why I drive a small pickup truck, I’m compensating for my quite large penis.
I’m so sorry to hear that 😢
Can you donate half of it for people in need? I’ll gladly take on that burden for you, my friend 🧔♀️
Same. I could only get the small truck and small boat.
I’ve seen 4 rams around my town drivers all look the same, they’re all very clean, never seen it parked as they can’t fit it anywhere one guy did get stuck and laughed at in his big yellow truck by a lot of people last time I’ve seen him
I have an ancient tiny pickup (don’t get me started on EVs or how a van is better, I’m aware but poor and I don’t live/work in a city) and I’d say about 1-2 times a week when daily driving I’ll get mocked by someone with a giant, lifted, accent-lighted, chrome-trimmed, perfectly-unscathed monstrosity. Usually some form of homophoplbic slur to describe my vehicle choice.
I fill up for less than half the price, and I fit right next to most regular cars. I still park out in the empties because I don’t like being next to other vehicles, but I don’t have to.
Honestly I’d love an EV with a minivan size profile, truck clearance, and the enclosed rear is all cargo space. Literally all of my hobbies and work things would fit in it, and since I live on a hill in the middle of fields, I get a lot of wind and solar.
Of course, I’d love it even more if I could take a nap on a train with space for an equipment cart while I travel half an hour to work, but the next ice age will happen before passenger trains become that widespread.
A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want … I’m in Spain, there’s a few about. They’re basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.
The Nissan e-NV200 was expected to be available by 2017 for the NYC Taxi of Tomorrow fleet.[93] However, structural changes would be required to bring the e-NV200 into compliance with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,[94] and the van never was released to the US market.
Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.
They are well handy, it’s a shame.
Also make superb camper vans if you aren’t too mad about the 150 mile range!
That seems great for the “we go from fancy campground to fancy campground and stay for half a week” crowd, but most camper van owners are not in that group, right?
Proper working man’s pickups those unlike the new ones that have all this fancy shite that you wouldn’t want in a work vehicle
I’ve had people argue that all the fancy stuff is needed in a work vehicle
Out of all the recent innovations in trucks, the only ones I’d really consider useful is having 120V power plugs in the bed and reversing cameras. Neither is required, but they do make things much easier.
But also, I am far more likely to assume that someone driving a Tacoma or Ranger is using it to do work than I am someone driving a ‘full size’ pickup.
Nobody’s mad at someone using a reasonably sized pickup when they need the functionality. The goal is the least polluting vehicle you can reasonably get for your use case.
i feel like if we applied this logic to most things, the world would be a better place…
The thing I hate the most about my province (Quebec), the passion people have for pickup trucks. It’s a fucking obsession, and it’s a subject that cant even be discussed, the right of owning one of those is almost the first article of our constitution.
I don’t mind passion from a hobby perspective. Some people are passionate about sports, coding, radios, plants, stamps etc. It’s okay to be passionate about cars and trucks, just don’t daily drive these if you want people to respect you. Same with stanced cars.
The problem as I see it is that these modded ones are pushed as still being practical when they are really only big toys. Have you ever noticed that jacked up trucks rarely have caps or toolboxes on the beds? The extra height takes away the utility of the bed and loading/unloading anything is a pain in the ass. They pour all this money into making their truck less useful.
I’ve driven big F-250s for work. They have a time, a place and a purpose. And that is not as a daily driver for most people.
'Round here we call em pavement princess. Drive like they own the place, but never done a day’s work.
Very accurate
Et je commence à voir beaucoup de “coal runner”, ou/et avec des pneus surdimensionné suspension élevé etc… Toutes des modifications illégale mais pourtant t’en vois partout. Sont-ils si riche qu’ils peuvent se payé des contraventions en continu où la police fait rien ?
J’en ai vu un sur le boulevard Pi-IX, le gars a “enfumé” une quunzaine de personnes qui attendaient l’autobus. Sérieux.
Moi aussi je me demandais comment autant de gens peuvent se payer des tanks de même, vu le prix, jusqu’à ce qu’un ami qui travaille en administration m’explique que la plupart des gens qui en ont font juste s’enregistrer une entreprise et le mette dessus. Même pas besoin de faire des vrais affaire avec ton entreprise, tu déclares des revenues négatifs et tu ramasses plein de crédits pour ton char. Bref, c’est nos impôts qui finance les gros chris de pickup du monde.
Ontarian here. I’ve been all over Canada, it’s everywhere.
Have you been to Alberta? Lol it’s way worse
Driving through curvy roads in manitoba I was being passed like I was standing still by lifted trucks…way over driving their headlights
Ben câlisse, comment ma apporter mon épicerie à maison sans un char d’assault?
J’ai plus souvent rencontrer ça dans les régions. J’ai un pick-up mais par nécessité. (4 flos)
On en voit de plus en plus en ville. Les gens utilisent leur pickup pour aller à l’épicerie. Mon voisin travaille de chez lui sur un ordi et a un pickup.
I’m 24 now and don’t own a car. :)
34 :-)
So…? Do you NEED a car? I didnt had a car until 34 because I didnt need one. The only reason I got one was because I moved in a different city and kind of had no choice. But I had many many bikes.
Same, turning 25 in a month, still no car
Primarily because I’m very fucking poor and just getting the license costs over 2000€ already
You know what’s funny, I recently read a CNBC business article that said auto-makers are saying consumers aren’t buying enough electric and hybrid vehicles. That supply has outpaced demand. You know what they’re not going to do, drop prices like basic economic theory says they should. According to auto-makers the problem wasn’t that they over estimated how popular their products are, the problem is the consumers not living up to their expectations. If we were good little consumers we’d just take on more debt but apparently we’re not cooperating.
25 and same, despite having a driver’s license for eight years
Ain’t that the truth. I’m constantly fighting this fight in my own city where we only get bike gutters, not even lanes. Complain complain complain from the people who claim they care about the neighborhood.
Is this a trick question?
The obvious choice is the truck. Take the truck and sell it. And then buy a bike, car and down payment on a house.
My car is closer in size to the bicycle than the truck.
Also, most of these trucks around here have an orange triangle at the back and are driven by teenagers.
too bad the truck doesn’t have nuts

Can I just drive my Kia Forte without being an asshole?
