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
I drive a cool, classic car most of the time.
It attracts a lot of 60 year old blokes with names like "Terry" and "Ian" every time I pull up to a stop.
I haven't seen a girl so much as look sideways at it.
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
And a dodge challenger, Chevy Camaro, all of the Nissan Z series and all of the skyline series, the delorean dmc-12, most mustangs, Acura nsx, Subaru wrx sti, the list is literally hundreds of cars long.
All of these cars are definitely too much car for that dude I can guarantee it.
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."
It's impossible to safely drive a car like this. You can't see children standing in front of you, and no matter what you're gonna pollute. Pollution is dangerous.
I know I'm going to catch some heat for this, but... Maybe you should be out watching and paying attention to your kids and keeping them out of the fucking street??? I mean, fuck dickheads who need to advertise their small dick by driving these abominations, but whether they're squished by a Ford F650 duallie with a 84" lift or my little compact sedan, they're gonna have a bad day
So what's your solution, then? We just drive our huge trucks and run over all the kids who have bad parents? We take a life that we could have saved, in order to spite someone else? Cause that seems evil.
So parents shouldn't be held accountable for their crotch spawn running amok in a right of way? What's YOUR solution? Funny how (at least in the US) you need to take a test and be licensed to drive, but any two dipshits can somehow find a way to literally not take any one of several available, some even taxpayer funded, precautions, or, irresponsibly have the kid with the plethora of options available, squirt out another human being, no test or license required. If you can't be bothered to take care of a kid, then don't fucking have one. This includes being present when they're outside playing when there's the chance of them being hurt. /rant
So you want to hold parents accountable by killing children. And you don't think that's evil?
By all means, point out where I said that. What I did say is, if you're going to have a kid, do the work. Get out there with them, and be a PARENT. Don't sit on your phone while they're bouncing a ball that could go into a busy right of way. I must be an evil monster for wanting parents to supervise their kids. I'm sure a whole lot of other bad things besides getting hit by whatever vehicle you deem to be the bane of humanity that might not happen if you're actually attentive.
Oh, I get it. You changed the subject to parental responsibility and decided to ignore the subject topic without telling anyone.
Yeah, I don't want to talk about parental responsibility if we aren't talking about oversized cars. I don't care about the tangent you're on. You should have told me you were changing the subject so I could ignore you.
If you and taken the time to read - believe me, I understand time is valuable and arguing with people on the internet is a waste of it - you'll see that I mainly agree that "Rollin Coal" and dick-envy sized trucks are fucking dumb. But when I see someone whining "what about the children!!" I can't help but state that maybe some parental responsibility could avert the majority of the children getting smooshed by any vehicle, from an 18 wheeler all the way down to a smart car.
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.
