Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did'nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the "biggest, baddest Truck on the road" for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by "you know dude I'm 6,4ft. I don't fit in any other vehicle" makes me go up the wall.

I've seen a lot of trucks but never one of these IRL.

I saw the picture and initially thought this was a Newcommunities post about a radio controlled car community 😭 not about an ACTUAL car omg

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I've only seen one of these at a car show. Just once.

About 35% of us have been groomed to be cavemen.

These types should do us all a favor and roll coal in the privacy of their closed garages.

On behalf of the 6’4” community, I miss my ‘98 Honda Accord daily. Stolen and mutilated only a couple road trips shy of 300k miles. Cut down in it’s prime.

The only time I've seen this car was on MTV cribs once maybe 20 years ago.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah we have those. I think I've only ever seen 1 or 2. It's a drop in the bucket compared to all the semi trucks we rely on but that doesn't excuse the people who buy them to take their kids to school and buy groceries. Except for Shaq, I guess. I think he bought one and customized it so he can have enough leg room.
