Canyonero! (Unexplained fires are matters for the courts)

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride!

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 25 points 3 weeks ago

Smells like a steak and seats 35!

She blinds everybody with her super high beams! She's a squirrel-squashin', deer smackin' drivin' machine!

The federal highway commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

I am both horrorfied and delighted by this, thank you

Stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9, IRL.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I want to see that and the half-width Jeep (also owned by the same museum) driving down two lanes side by side.

Westside Customs in shambles for not coming up with it sooner

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Cars are wider because the bigger the area under the car the lower the fuel economy is allowed to be.

[–] mech@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

Which makes sense, if course

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's also the fact that all of the modern safety equipment takes up more space.

[–] aeiou@piefed.social 19 points 3 weeks ago

don't give them ideas

Don't forget the LED headlights that outshine kilonovas.

The big sad box is highly accurate.

I drive a Chevrolet Movie Theater.

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't believe this was like 15 years ago. I also remember from the same time that I don't drink beer, I drink liquor.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fifteen? Interior Crocodile Alligator was 2007, back when ytmnd was relevant.

the latest volvo is 1.98m wide. the underground garage at my last place had a 2.2m wide door which i once managed to clip in my chevy volt. i wonder if the auto-pilot or whatever is good enough to navigate that.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 2 weeks ago

wow that's... tight

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

EX90? And when the mirrors are extended, you're easily up to 2.1m wide. It's like they want to crash into stuff when driving in the city. Or "störst går först" mentality...

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago

no the ex60, the "smaller" one...

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

shit i wonder if i'm good enough to navigate that. there's a reason i ride a bike (it's more fun)

[–] StellarExtract@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

These ads really sold me on the concept of wide cars as a kid. Just look at it, it's so wide.90s Pontiac Grand Prix magazine ad

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They had to invent these wide cars so that people could transport their long eggs from the supermarket

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Chickens like, the fuck? Why isn't this coming out?

[–] speckofrust@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I’d love to know why anyone is downvoting this. Truly curious what’s to dislike here.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Probably strikes a nerve with some people.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 2 weeks ago

They don't like being called out

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 3 weeks ago

When you think your copewagon proves that you really are the main character.

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I drive a vehicle that's 2.5m wide, 3.5m tall, and 11m long.

[–] mech@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds perfect to drop the kids off at school. Like, all of them.

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

I could hypothetically transport like 40 children depending on how you pack them, probably pretty easy because of how soft their bones are.

But I live in this thing so no trespassers.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Already happening in Texas.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I believe cats have been getting wider by an average of 5mm per year for the last few decades

[–] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Stop breeding w i d e cats

You'll bring ruin upon us all!

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe ease up on the lasagne.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

They already have those. They call them jeeps.

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

That would look fierce parked diagonally 8 standard-sized parking stalls and 2 handicap stalls.

[–] ghost_rider69@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Down side: you're more likely to get hit by car due to bigger hotbox

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that you are driving halfway into oncoming trafic doesn't help
