Don't forgot the LED headlights that outshine kilonovas.

They already have those. They call them jeeps.
I believe cats have been getting wider by an average of 5mm per year for the last few decades
Maybe ease up on the lasagne.
Stop breeding w i d e cats
No!
You'll bring ruin upon us all!
The big sad box is highly accurate.
Canyonero! (Unexplained fires are matters for the courts)
The federal highway commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.
She blinds everybody with her super high beams! She's a squirrel-squashin', deer smackin' drivin' machine!
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride!
Smells like a steak and seats 35!
Westside Customs in shambles for not coming up with it sooner
Stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9, IRL.
I am both horrorfied and delighted by this, thank you
I want to see that and the half-width Jeep (also owned by the same museum) driving down two lanes side by side.
When you think your copewagon proves that you really are the main character.
I drive a Chevrolet Movie Theater.
I can't believe this was like 15 years ago. I also remember from the same time that I don't drink beer, I drink liquor.
Fifteen? Interior Crocodile Alligator was 2007, back when ytmnd was relevant.
Oh no
Cars are wider because the bigger the area under the car the lower the fuel economy is allowed to be.
There's also the fact that all of the modern safety equipment takes up more space.
Which makes sense, if course
don't give them ideas
I’d love to know why anyone is downvoting this. Truly curious what’s to dislike here.
They don't like being called out
Probably strikes a nerve with some people.
That would look fierce parked diagonally 8 standard-sized parking stalls and 2 handicap stalls.
These ads really sold me on the concept of wide cars as a kid. Just look at it, it's so wide.
I drive a vehicle that's 2.5m wide, 3.5m tall, and 11m long.
Sounds perfect to drop the kids off at school. Like, all of them.
I could hypothetically transport like 40 children depending on how you pack them, probably pretty easy because of how soft their bones are.
But I live in this thing so no trespassers.
A bus from my childhood with very close dimensions is specced at fitting 110 adult people, eight per square meter. It was believed to possibly actually fit 200 at peak rush hour. Folks gave it a loving nickname ‘cattle wagon’.
the latest volvo is 1.98m wide. the underground garage at my last place had a 2.2m wide door which i once managed to clip in my chevy volt. i wonder if the auto-pilot or whatever is good enough to navigate that.
shit i wonder if i'm good enough to navigate that. there's a reason i ride a bike (it's more fun)
EX90? And when the mirrors are extended, you're easily up to 2.1m wide. It's like they want to crash into stuff when driving in the city. Or "störst går först" mentality...
no the ex60, the "smaller" one...
Already happening in Texas.
