I've said it before and I'll say it again but these are the drivers that are calling you a tankie online. The people driving literal fucking tanks

[–] [email protected] 49 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Actually, I think the people that drive these tend to be too-far right to even know what a tankie is. The people calling you tankie probably drive, like, Priuses.

The people driving these cars are more likely to call you an f-slur.

Work as a mechanic and these guys are always the type to have right-wing bumper stickers and make their politics known to everyone.

The one thing that I learned as a meth addict several years ago was that the likelihood of there being a gun in the vehicle and the vehicle being unlocked goes up rapidly and exponentially with every right wing sticker.

Those stickers literally make them targets for car prowlers.

On the other hand, it's good to know where to get what we in the business call "an offensive handgun" if you need one in a hurry.

There's one of these in my neighborhood and it deserves 🔻

Soon the smallest car you'll be able to get will be a whole full size RV

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It's worse because I doubt you would be able to live somewhat comfortably in one of these, while taking up the space of an actual RV. I just can't wrap my head around this type of car.

I'm almost impressed with how absurd and ugly this is

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They took the worst aspects of an 18 wheeler and a pickup truck and combined them at the expense of literally every single benefit.

I mean fuck you could have a basically pre built truck camper on that platform that would somehow look better and have better aerodynamics.

truck dudes are like "im a badass but also I need room for my 3 kids but god forbid i drive something that doesnt have a truckbed so i can larp as someone who uses a truckbed."

Reminds me of some old robot chicken sketch where some stupidly rich kid is showing off his stuff. He gets to his solid gold truck and says it gets "13 feet per tank of gas".

Legalize pedestrian use of antitank rifles

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

Concealed carry self defense anti-tank mines.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I'm grinning ear to ear thinking what a round of armor piercing incendiary 20mm would do to those exposed gas tanks.

...Park that BIG MAC TRUCK. Right in this little garage...

Remember folks, always pack some dry lentils for when you randomly encounter a SUV. Or, you know, whatever that monstrosity is.

We should stop giving a shit about it and just say their models are "compensator"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Unironically that's exactly what these big trucks are for in many cases

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

Is the market made of children?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

what the fuck

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

There is a semi truck manufacturer called MAN so clearly this will be the real choice of alpha males

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

god what an awful truck.

I remember many years ago my mom had a black Toyota, it was half as tall as this thing and had more usable bed space.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The wheels in those wheelwells are like Charlie Kirk's facial features on his face.

Let's tax some chickens and stop this madness

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

People really love to accelerate climate change and then complain about it when it comes back to bite them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Does anyone know the model of this truck? I want to bully a swedish coworker if it is indeed a Scania (guy is pretty outspoken about american cars being "stupid and for stupid people")

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It isn't a Scania at least.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

He is, but the point is that Scania is a Swedish auto manufacturer

About 90% certain it's a freightliner M2 106

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago
