Yeah. Let's get upset at a car that even Americans posting here admit they've never seen on the road. It's a piece of crap, but hardly a problem worth paying any attention to.
Fuck Cars

I recall at a place I used to work. There was an older guy who drove a similar monstrosity to work, GMC 6500... maybe. Im 6'3" and could easily walk under the mirrors.
I noticed after about a week that it hadn't moved. Finally, I got curious after 3 weeks of seemingly no movement from it and asked around.
Apparently, the guy that owned it, was climbing in to leave and fell backward out of it. Spent 2-3 months in the hospital recovering. No one needs one of these things
As a European, that’s definitely an impractical, asshole vehicle. You couldn’t drive or park that anywhere here.
As a guy though? Gotta love a big, fuck you vehicle. It’s like a giant kids toy. Highly impractical, but I bet you’d giggle if you drove it. Only Americans could ever build something like that.
I've literally only seen F650's in the wild that had big box trailers on them being used as commercial hauling vehicles. This picture of one is the only time I've ever seen one seemingly for personal use.
