It's genuinely insane that anyone is allowed to put that on a road

dual axles to haul the heaviest of insecurities and crushing debt

I've never seen anything this ridiculous in person, but I've seen plenty of dumb trucks. Things like maybe lift kits and low profile tires, wheels kicked out to the side...so setup for off-road but with zero grip, shit turning radius, wobbles on the highway, and also shit for towing.

The one that kills me is $80k trucks in the trailer park. Spend your money how you want, but it seems crazy to have a rapidly depreciating vehicle that's worth more than your home.

There must me an easier way to prove how big your dick is.

Trailers aren't cheap either. The park here has unremarkable units, not even new, in the 60-80k range. Almost a decade ago the lot rent fees were already over 500 a month, and they don't even do any lawn care or snow removal.

they are probably taking huge loans, thats why they are living in trailer parks.

In fairness I would have thought this looked cool... When I was 12.

However, it's almost a certainty that a "regular" truck could out perform this thing in every metric.

Its notoriously difficult to get the dual rear axles to provide a meaningful benefit to traction and even load capacity.

However, there will be a huge hit to economy, weight, acceleration, and handling.

In summary it would be an absolute pig to own.

This is the key point. Most behaviour like this is pretty much identical to twelve year old kids wanting attention. I am going to guess anyone who wants to buy this has not received any real affection and attention from their parents.

Republicans must have the smallest dicks known to man.

I think there was an episode of South Park where they told all the angry men that the average penis size was much smaller than it actually was and then they weren't assholes anymore

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

I remember that episode, it was called "T.M.I."

As far as the idea goes... it's worth a shot. :D

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

I personally know a guy who owns one of these things. He's a mid-70s white guy who manages money. He lives in Washington DC. It's the ugliest fucking car I've ever seen.

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I put aside my dislike for trucks that are used for commutes or even less than that but bpy, is that an ugly disfigured design, lacking any kind of proper proportions.

Luckily that Compensator 9000 is certainly not street legal in the EU.

[–] evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

Not legal in DC, either, but unfortunately that doesnt stop people

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

The difference is the these laws are enforced here

I didn't think you could find an uglier car than the cybertruck, but you've done it! Jesus fucking Christ.

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

That's a normal beer bottle on the back fender, by the way. This thing is fucking gigantic. It shouldn't be road legal at all.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

people entrust their money to somebody who makes decisions like this?

that's.. interesting

Why though. What's even the utility of something like this?

Surely, surely... the inconvenience and cost of having something like this in your life must outweigh that of renting a trailer for those off times when you need to haul something.

That thing just looks so stupid and huge and bad.

Amazing. You can fit soooo many groceries in that after yoga class.

Looks like both yours and OP's image are from here: apocalypse6x6.com

The absolutely irony of these chud tanks is that theybwpuld be the FIRST vehicles to break down in the apocalypse.

The Canyonero was ruled unsafe for highway or city driving by the Federal Highway Commission.

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.

[–] MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

To be fair, it does look totally badass at first glance.

Reminds of those pictures I used to draw of future vehicles with more huge wheels and tracks and sections than necessary. And there were usually laser cannons and grappling hooks on them.

This specimen appears to have neither a laser turret nor giant robot crane claw or saws mounted on it, thus, unacceptable.

Take it away, it offends me.

A gender affirming truck for an emasculated insecure manlet.

[–] SchadeMarmelade@feddit.org 24 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I was talking with a colleague once and he told me to type soemthig (can't remember the name) into google, and that thing came up.

Apparently there is a company, american of course that takes already big toy trucks and turns them into... that.

Their website is full of like post apocalyptic talk. Cuz you know, a giant trucking guzzling gallons of a ressource that will be hard to come by, full of electronics that will stop working after even a tiny EMP hits, will be very useful.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Fascists are all about surface aesthetics. That's why everything's about "optics" and "narrative" these days. They don't have a sense of solid reality to any of it. So they see a film like Fury Road and think, 'yes, cool. I must be like Joe'.

They have no sense that Immortan Joe is a desperate fool who has squandered the humanity of everyone in his orbit. If you try to talk about themes and interpretations, you will be met with scorn. That's my experience.

That's something I would have used for my game idea called "Evil Car", a car racing game, where you fuel cars with the blood of orphans, and tune them by sacrificing cute puppies and virgins to it.

[–] jackintosh@feddit.nl 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Never played Carmagheddon?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I played it, but I want to make it even more evil.

Ironically a better view over the hood than a new truck. lol

Guy probably has an arsenal at home, has a bunch of guns in the truck and at least one or two on him at all times.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

And he will be taken out with 1 drone strike if it ever came to actual conflict. I wonder how much that monstrosity cost.

Bit of a personal bone to pick, people like this make me feel cringe whenever I say I'm a pepper or have a firearm. Movies don't reflect reality, the world doesn't stop in a day, and if a single car collides with that behemoth, he'll probably wind up in deep debt.

This thing will fold like a bedsheet if it actually gets into a collision with a car

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.nz 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My guess is it has exactly zero crumple zones, so that monstrosity won't fold, but the spines of everyone involved will

In the early 80s I would have thought this was the coolest thing and would have looked around, certain KITT must be nearby. I guess some people never grow out of the toddler fascination for BIG TRUCK.
