I'll just leave this here. Took this shot of my car a few years ago.

Ugh, that reminds me - just a few weeks ago, I ended up next to this monstrosity:

With it being that high up off the ground, using the truck bed for any actual purpose is going to be difficult, unless you have an actual semitruck loading bay in your back yard.

That truck has not, and will not, experience a single second of actual work.

Nor will it ever leave pavement.

perfect working height for unscrewing part of the diff

Why does it remind me of this two

Who am I to disagree?

I'll add to this too, taken a while ago of my old car in an Australian shopping mall, and Nissan Patrols aren't even the most egregious here.

Before I read your comment, my stoned, dumb ass was wondering what the arrow was supposed to be pointing at.

It literally looks like you could just drive under that fucking monstrosity lmao

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

the upsetting part is that the body would fit under and the windscreen and above - the fragile parts - would get hit by the bulk of the truck… cars are made to crumple on their noses etc - nasty gore scenes ensue

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

just wait for the cars to get even bigger and you can just cut through traffic by driving under them

It's a temptation every Miata owner faces.
