Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did'nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the "biggest, baddest Truck on the road" for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by "you know dude I'm 6,4ft. I don't fit in any other vehicle" makes me go up the wall.

And I'm sure there are no over the top vehicles in Germany....

There are some morons here that are buying American made "trucks". More and more unfortunately, but it's still pretty rare. Luckily it's damn inconvenient to drive or park them in many places here.

How about sports cars with 12 cylinders? How many super cars are made in Europe?

Sadly they are becoming more by the day. The amount of Hiluxes is also steadily increasing in my neighborhood.
