What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

Truck costs more than the house. . and will probably be repo'd within 3 years.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 3 hours ago

This is what the Merryweather assholes in GTA chase you in.

[–] jcs@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Looks like an armored Rezvani Hercules 6x6.

These are $$$ in general:

But they're also driveable in SnowRunner for much less money.

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

You know what the first thing I think whenever I see a guy driving a large truck?

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 6 points 6 hours ago

The first thing to be abandoned as soon as the highways fill up with stalled/crashed/flooded cars.

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago

Theirs a dealer/fabrication company in Ft.Lauderdale FL that makes these, I don't recall the name as it was on holiday once.

After driving through those highways, it's really mad-max out there. I can see why you'd want one of these.

Holy crap, I saw that thing at the airport. Pavement princesses are not really my thing.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (3 children)

What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you're hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn't big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.

It's even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.

Just stupid.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

big tungsten cube

Tbf if you can afford this thing you can probably almost afford a big tungsten cube..

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I'd rather have two cubes and a vehicle that doesn't reek of midlife crisis.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Two cubes?!

Hey everyone I found Jeff Bezos' lemmy acct. You seen the tungsten prices lately?!

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Holy shit. It is, isn't it? Perfect!

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago

Maybe it's for ~~when the liberal woke mob antifa cannibals hurl a spear through one of the back tires so you still have backup tires~~ . . .er. . . "Towing"

Lmao.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Well, at least it's not a cybertruck

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Beneath this atrocity is a Ram 1500.

So this truck will last 3 to 4 years tops, probably significantly less so after all the aftermarket work done to it.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 hours ago

oh jesus, The transmission probably fell out in the driveway just from the attention from reddit.

It's worse. At least the cyber truck is electric so they're not belching out gas.

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

So how much petrol/uranium this things consumes per 100km

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 7 hours ago

That's the 2022 Copewagon Deluxe XL.

I'm also curious about WTF is going on on his lawn.

WTF is that wedding arch doing there?

WTF are those giant balls?

WTF is a fake lion doing there?

WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?

[–] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?

I'm pretty sure those are natural gas meters. Around here they're usually tucked out of the way, against the house, often with a protective pole to prevent a car from crashing into it and causing an explosion.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 12 hours ago

The balls appear to be crimmus ornaments, the pipes look like utility meters.

As for the lion? He doesn't concern himself with the rest of the setup.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It has a built in magnifier to see the driver's penis/ clitoris.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Man. I know it's a terrible waste of space, energy consumption and all around douchey vehicle... But 6 year old me thinks it looks pretty cool

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah like, who wouldn't wanna drive a Warthog or a giant construction vehicle?

But I think the line where it gets douchey is "I commute every day with this thing, it belches out tons of fumes, and I bully everyone else off the road because I'm secretly scared of all my neighbors."

[–] drath@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Just... drive a train at this point. There's nothing more badass than a train.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

NGL that pic you shared looks bad ass!

[–] drath@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Funny thing is, it's definitely real as it's on a public display, but nobody knows who built it and, most importantly, why they built it. There are numerous equally plausible yet contradicting legends, some people tried to investigate but results were inconclusive, possibly because there were multiple built completely independently, or because it was a top secret project and intelligence planted red herrings. Maybe some vodka drinking took place. But, one thing that is common amongst most legends is that it couldn't steer for shit, hence why it was scrapped.

Local Walmarts must be wild if they need this.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That kinda looks sick. I love cars that aren't just stock standard stuff.

I mean, that thing is pretty badass but obviously doesn't need to be anywhere near city roads. Some dude out on a 100 acre ranch? Sure, probably. Still an abomination but at least it would have some utility. But in a city? Nah.

[–] CheerfulPassionFruit@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Not even a dude on a ranch, they can also just use some small Japanese truck. Or if you really need the terrain capabilities, then use a digger!
