If you don’t know how to drive a truck, please don’t. Just dont.
Elect me dictator of the world and I will implement my pickup truck and SUV tiered licensing scheme: Before you are allowed to have an F-150 or Escalade, first you must complete a 4 year probationary period of driving, say, a Suzuki Samurai.
Fuck, I would LOVE to drive a Samurai!
No one loves driving a samurai.
A samurai is a jeep for people who can afford little more than a lawn mower.
It rides like you’re in a trash can being pulled by an angry mule.
A Suzuki samurai can get you places, as long as they’re either at least down wind or down hill from where you’re currently at.
You can take the samurai off road but you’ll find the experience of driving on smooth asphalt dangerous enough.
wranglers are samurais for people who are mentally stuck in high school who need to be seen as cool, and massively overpay to do so.
They take an “offroading vehicle”, modify it further, reduce the efficiency and ruin the on-road handling, slap a light bar on top, and then drive it to the mall and back.
But it’s alright, because the marketing team at Joop™ told them it’s the Real American Young Man©’s utilitarian vehicle, starting at 175% of what a competing vehicle from any other brand would cost, with 30% of their reliability.
Good thing you brought that Wrangler™ to drive onto the dirt path to your favorite drinking spot in the mountains, not like anything else would’ve gotten you there.
Or for the 1% that actually crawl rocks, it’s a good thing to constantly prove that with enough torque, and getting out, making sure you won’t hit, and getting back in, the coefficient of friction of a surface still behaves the same way. Kinda crazy how other people just go around and get to the same spot with final drive ratios that keep their vehicles useable elsewhere. What’s the fun if you don’t spend 15 minutes not going around?
It’s ok though, the guys with green and beige tacomas with all their gear strapped to the cage day in and day out are even more insufferable. That moment as they hop out in their cargo shorts and Tevas on their way to order another IPA hoping a girl will hear their stories about their once-a-year “overlanding” trips is so worth it. They’re higher-end, more refined, because they drive Tacomas™. But the way they wear their wayfarers inside and the Patagonia t-shirts tell them “it’s ok baby, I’m also chill”
Yo, my stock 03 TJ X is a beast…and can do lots of fun shit…but my 20 Tacoma can do all the same shit…but I care a lot less if I ding the wrangler…it pains me to see the auto abortion that jeep has become
I’d also rock a geo tracker, could go either way
Just ban them outright. What’s the point? You want to move things around, get a bus
I need an F-350 so I can haul my wife around.
Then you don’t need all those 4 seats
Does it have a two-tonne cargo capacity?
anything does, if you’re willing to swap trannies later
That’s why I’m on my second wife.
Oh, transmissions! Sorry, I misunderstood.
Exactly this model? Not sure, but somewhere between 1.5 and 3t. Probably only 1.5t.
Not quite good enough for my wife then.
Dad?
This isn’t lack of ability, it’s on purpose. I have had this type explain how clever they are for parking like this to keep other drivers from dinging their truck
I do this, but in the far end if the lot. Notice how the image is framed so you can’t see where in the lot the truck is.
i hope the the negative score let you know that we think it’s shitty even back there
We care about points? I walk the full distance of the parking lot. If I don’t care about doing that, why do you think I care about internet points?
US cars are just too tall.
Too tall, wide, and long. While parking spaces have the same 1985 car standard size.
Most drivers where I live doesn’t even bother to park between lines anymore since you cannot get in/out of your vehicle if everybody park properly.

By standards I mean cars width back then.
Parking space with vary between two buildings next to each other.

Not who you were talking to, but out of curiosity I googled. Obviously this differs based on year, but current model Silverados seem to be 75-80" (1.9m-2m) with Corollas averaging 70” (1.8m), neither including mirrors I think and mirrors on these type of trucks are often extended.

Some of the quotes on the Silverado I found specified mirrors not included (example), weird that that’s not a consistent thing.
Sure, he owes you evidence. Lol.

Because came off like a narcissist fuck making demands like that.
They are built to accomodate 8 drunk whales lying across.
Have you seen our pot holes?
points to a wild lada in eastern europe
RtR before it was mainstream
Small pothole in Kalinigrad:
Micropotholes somewhere in Russia:
Regular pothole:
Bigger than regular pothole:
Well-fed pothole:
Tell me how that Small Government is working out for you.
Oh please, as if there are no potholes in Corsica.
I’m sorry you got so mad at a simple little joke.
Looks like an unusually considerate truck owner to me.
“No care in the world” diagonal parking could’ve used 6 parking spots instead of a "mere"4.
He doesn’t care enough to maximize his inefficiency. The worst type of asshole.
I love parking as close as I can to these people. My car is already scratched and dinged up from random shit over the years.
I have an ancient and quirky 4x4, it’s painted with bedliner, and I do the same. It’s narrow enough to fit in a parking space that another vehicle is partially in.
Eyy, bedliner gang. Both of my 4 wheeled vehicles are bedlinered. Being shiny is for chumps.
Truth. I’m just going to drag a tree down the side of it, it doesn’t need to be shiny.
Haha emotional support truck! Must be tough at times have a micro peen and no cunnilingus skills!
“Emotional support truck” lmaooo
2023 and we’re still body shaming dick size.
Hey as somebody with a small dick I really appreciate your adding that bit in about cunnilingus skills.
I can always go into the slime if I want to get her off
Racing stripes on a truck…hmmm.
Gives at least
100FPS10 km/hHave you not seen the Shelby F250?
Tiny penis
This parking lot looks pretty empty to me
I’d also like to know how far from the front of the lot it is.
Unrelated, but did you know that most cars and trucks only carry one spare tire?
So if, god forbid, something happened to more than one tire, it becomes significantly more difficult to deal with.
Lots of new cars come with none spare tire.
Would that make it take up extra space for even longer than it does already? (don’t get me wrong, I’m with you, but doesn’t that just make it even worse for others who would like to park there?)
This car is FAT! I mean this car is body-positive.
I am the guy that parks right beside him. In my designated spot. Takes a photo of his car and plate. Walks away. That drama is his drama.
What would a photo do? Prove to your insurance you put your vehicle in a situation that it could be damaged? Your insurance has clauses to prevent paying out in those situations.
You’re asking for trouble and a fight and potentially a bill that you created for yourself actually.
If I’m in my space, and that person can’t manoeuvre out of their space. That’s their fault. Not mine.
So you’re intentially putting your car in a situation where it can be damaged, and you’ll admit that to your insurance so they can not pay out to you?
They would ask why you parked there and not somewhere else. Taking the picture proofs your intent even….
Insurance isn’t stupid they know these games and people do this stuff intentionally all the time, you’re not going to have an easy slam dunk victory. There’s plenty of precedent from people thinking it’s a smart idea before. Give your insurance clauses a read, there’s clauses about you not putting your vehicle in situations, doing everting you can to avoid a collision…
Sometimes you don’t have a choice. Either park there or nowhere. Examples include, but are not limited to: designated parking spaces, or full parking lots.
Sometimes you don’t have a choice
Once I see a picture of that scenario, I’ll believe it. As it stands now it’s coming across as the sort of thing a person makes up on the fly.
In this picture, this truck is obviously parked in a place with an overabundance of parking.
Plenty of empty stalls in this picture though, and you better have images to prove that point.
Insurance isn’t gonna pay out either way. In this situation they’d say they don’t have enough information to determine who is at fault and close the claim.
insurance has clauses to prevent paying out
Oh man what a sick gotcha it’s not like that’s the entire purpose of a for profit insurance system.
Alternatively, the lovely thing about driving an old beater is that you have nothing to lose in situations like this.
Goes both ways, the clauses also prevent people from abusing the system and intentionally damaging their vehicles to get repaired.
If you have a legitimate claim, there is nothing you should worry about.
I’m glad my premiums don’t go up because someone intentionally hit a car marginally in their lane “because I had the right of way”, instead of just moving slightly over to avoid the collision.
Amen. I hate bitter people and I hate it even more when they start playing games with my stuff to prove their point.
This just shows the laziness and incompetence of truck drivers. I could see this being an easy mistake to make since he’s pretty close on all the lines, but it really doesn’t take that long to correct it when you get out of your truck lol.
Without more context, at least he parked away from others in an empty part of the lot.
Idiot drivers*
Happens with all vehicle’s. Not everyone that owns a truck has a room temp IQ like the person depicted here.
A largely disproportionate pool of the Idiot drivers* are just truck drivers lol.
Yeah thats fair haha!
This type of shit is in purpose so no one hits the truck.
Hence the 4x4 sticker: 4 parking spaces for 4 wheels.
Needs a 2x2 sticker added to the back to show how many parking spaces he occupies.
That guy is taking up like 50 bike parking spots.
Perhaps stores should set up a handful of “big car” parking spots at the very far end of the lot and let these losers walk.
That’s the way it should be but they don’t care they park anywhere they want.
This is already the way it is. At least where I work, the people who park across multiple spots do so at the far end of the parking lot where nobody else is parking.
Looks like this truck is already far enough out to be behind the convenient spaces. Either that or the lot serves a store with no demand.
Either way there are no cars surrounding the truck in this photo, indicating that nobody is actually being harmed or even inconvenienced.
