What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

No mud whatsoever. Fucking poser ass coward.

While my little truck is a disgusting mess all the time. Shit in the bed, etc.

It's a truck. It gets the cheap $1 wand wash every 3 months.

I wash my Tacoma every 5 years or so, as long as I do not get stinky mud on it. The bed does get washed a bit more often.

The last time I washed it it looked so foreign to me I kept losing it in parking lots.

This kind of shit is typical in a lot of upper middle class neighborhoods in FL. You'd see Hummers, pseudo-monster trucks, etc sitting in front of dainty houses with highly manicured lawns. All so that they can drive vehicles that are far more likely to kill people.

Its funny because its built to destroy but the owner would likely cry if it was scratched.

6 wheels for considerably less than 6"

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

They need that for the difficult run to Publix obviously.

What’s with the weird archway over the front of the driveway? Is it getting married?

[–] pahlimur@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Christmas light arch using pvc pipe.

These are the first people who would die in a real collapse, probably killing others as they go. I loved Mad Max and Car Wars too, but I know it's fiction.

They need it for safety from that rogue lion on the left.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The dude has two lions. All year round.

It's a sign that this man has an enormous penis and extremely large testicles ... probably cancer.

I also don't like the truck but there are like 2 original thoughts in these comments. You're all as good as AI.

I feel bad for the engine, with all that extra shit on it I’m sure it doesn’t help with power to weight. And in pretty sure that the rear axle isn’t a driven wheel so it’s basically a permanently attached trailer.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Surprisingly the rear axle is driven! I had to look this thing up to find out WTF it was.

I get so mad seeing these in the parking garage at work. Like, you drove that to park it at an office and then go up the elevator? WTF? And yes I'm in West Central FL and the arms race of ever bigger vehicles is insane.

Though at least my neighborhood isn't just a bunch of those garage houses, it's older and varied and not many garage front houses. So many trucks though. Some are guys who need them for work, some are not.

Basing on the micropenis to truck ratio, I'm going with an educated guess of penis length of .0018 micrometers.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd say that Floridian trucks are evolving, but they don't believe in evolution. Satan himself must have left a gift.

That’s actually cool.

There’s a point where modifications get so outrageous and unique that they can get away with this. There’s nothing special about a lifted dodge, but this. One doesn’t just casually acquire/maintain something like this.

I see what looks like nice double wishbones on the front too, and an okay height for its stance. It isn’t one of those crumby lifts that ruins the suspension.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, they acquired more money than brains

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

More debt, probably.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Impractical as heck but cool looking.

I think I read somewhere that about 20% of the population spends money foolishly. Constantly buying premium cars, electronics,fashion, food, boats, etc. etc. while racking up debt to a point that they aren’t saving any money and live month to month.

If it wasn’t for that 20% out economy go into recession and millions would be out of work. Products the rest of us use would likely increase in cost as manufacturing would need to make the revenue somewhere.

If someone wants to spend their money on stupid shit let them. It keeps others employed.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

That's an interesting idea, though I'd imagine it would secure profits more than employment.
