I wish I could repossess and crush any trucks like this that aren't being driven through a swamp every day.

Visiting southern US for the holidays. There was a truck idling to warm it up yesterday, it was 47F out. We saw the driver walking up as we passed so proceeded to have a conversation about big strong manly men in their big strong manly trucks being able to handle "a bit of a chill".

If one of those big trucks runs you over then sue the manufacturer. I'm sure if someone dug deep enough they'd find the old vehicle size standards document out there somewhere.

Don't judge ... that poor man needs that large vehicle in order to accommodate his extremely large penis and enormous testicles ... the loud engine sounds are to warn others of his condition and let everyone know everywhere of what he has to live with ... that poor man ... it's a real problem

Damn right, this is nothing but gender affirming care.

Tyres protruding that far outside the body are seriously dangerous and would be illegal here in Australia.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (6 children)

They are illegal in the States as well, but you'd need someone to actually enforce it.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Actually legal in WVa and Alabama, no suprise.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That isn't surprising. They won't pass inspection in the semi civilized states I've lived in, but things get sketchy really fast once you get out of the northeast.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Slashing tyres is probably moral in this situation.

Just don't get caught.

Those things are even worse on the road than they are when they're parked.

“Sorry about your dick buddy”

I can tolerate a dirty truck that’s all dented to hell, that person clearly needs their truck for some kind of work. A clean truck that’s large is just screaming “don’t look at my dick”

When I see something like this, I agree with my country 72% taxation on gas. If they had to pay $8 per gallon like us, they wouldn't buy those monsters

Cars should be taxed by weight.
