I'll just leave this here. Took this shot of my car a few years ago.
I'll add to this too, taken a while ago of my old car in an Australian shopping mall, and Nissan Patrols aren't even the most egregious here.
Ugh, that reminds me - just a few weeks ago, I ended up next to this monstrosity:
With it being that high up off the ground, using the truck bed for any actual purpose is going to be difficult, unless you have an actual semitruck loading bay in your back yard.
That truck has not, and will not, experience a single second of actual work.
Nor will it ever leave pavement.
perfect working height for unscrewing part of the diff
Why does it remind me of this two
these*
Who am I to disagree?
I like your car
Thanks!
It literally looks like you could just drive under that fucking monstrosity lmao
the upsetting part is that the body would fit under and the windscreen and above - the fragile parts - would get hit by the bulk of the truck… cars are made to crumple on their noses etc - nasty gore scenes ensue
It's a temptation every Miata owner faces.
just wait for the cars to get even bigger and you can just cut through traffic by driving under them
