That's not a little white car. That's just a white car. Fuck cars, but fuck these monstrosities that wouldn't be street legal in any reasonable country especially.

Yup, that used to be a mid size car back in the day. This is actually a pretty good illustration of how out of control the size of our cars are getting

Fuck cars but I think it's a Camry, which is actually a mid-size car.

This model was advertised as a “Wide-Body Camry” because they were so much more spacious.

Double parking should be an automatic tow even if half the lot is empty.

I'd be happy with small print that says you have to buy two parking tickets. Nice and small at the bottom so they don't realise and just get slapped with a £90 fine whenever they park like it.

Being in Aus, a car park like this would most likely be free.

If I couldn't find parking I would 100% do what the white car did (and have done before)

How about free the with small print that if you take up two spaces it's 90 dollar bucks an hour, payable by calling a premium rate number?

I went to work one day at Disneyland. And a truck took 4 parking spots, right at the front. The lot was packed, people were parking at the end of the rows not even in spots. I drive a very small car. My hood fit under their bumper so I parked in front of them in just one of the spots they took.

I came back to a nasty note on how they paid for 2 spots (but took 4) and how much of an asshole I was for parking in the only spot I could.

I’m impressed the guy in the white car was able to get out of that

Also the dude in the big truck has a small penis, this just convinced me.

Wow, it costs alot of money to be an idiot. You can get a truck that is equally, if not more functional for 10 grand. You could even super splurge and get one for 30k that is even incredibly similar on the non-functional stuff too. There are much better things to spend the 100k remaining than the difference between a 30k truck and a 130k truck.

I grew up on a tobacco farm, shit ton of manual labor, and the extended families all helped each other

A cousin had a jacked up truck (obviously we're all hillbillies).

But he lifted it so much, it couldn't hitch to a trailer, and only one of the wagons. He took a functional truck and made it almost impossible to actually use it for anything.

I've been shitting on all the idiots driving lifted trucks ever since. I have zero idea why so many guys live in cities and work desk jobs but drive a giant truck for their commute. And there is an insane amount of them at my current job.

My point is, even in rural areas this shit is completely useless. The only reason anyone buys them is they're insecure in their own masculinity. They need a big truck to feel like a big boy

That's too much for a truck that's never going to see real work. All hat, no cow.

Nobody likes these fucks in the giant trucks. I run a condo and those trucks stick out about 2 feet into the driveway and fit tightly on the wide side. We started banning them and it pissed off a few rednecks, but if you buy a car that literally doesn't fit in your parking spot, that's your problem.

I've got an old F150 farm truck and I still make a point to park in east Jesus nowhere in a parking lot so I'm not in the way. It's common fuckin' decency.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

same but then it never fails when you come back and it's mysteriously surrounded by beater cars.

Like attracts like, dude.

I'm considering putting Nerf bars on, only to hide the rust. But the flip side... i'm not sure I have anything to mount them to besides the rust...
