You should have to prove you have commercial uses before you can buy a truck like that. Average Joe shit heads that just want a big truck to keep their ego propped up should be told to get therapy and a sedan.
Under communism car dealerships will mostly be converted to mental health care facilities to assist with the transition of car-guys and truck-chuds out of their illness.
We can harness the power of the car guys. They can be converted into war on cars people if you make them realize they also hate traffic. The deal is: you get to drive your hobby or project vehicle or whatever, on mostly empty roads (albeit a slimmer network), you just have to do useful shit.
Imagine a car guy getting an open road, their own hobby vehicle and the instruction to take this kidney to the nearest hospital.
EDIT: The truck chuds all get converted into #carryshitolympics people
There's no better way to tell people you don't actually do physical labor than a 4' bed.
A minivan with the back row of seats removed is a superior work vehicle to this thing in every imagineble way.
Or a station wagon… both alternatives you don’t have to lift as high to get stuff in the back either.
You're talking to a guy with a kiddie pool full of sand in the back of his Subaru outback to sand icy driveways.
Plus whatever your carrying isn't exposed to the elements so the sand isn't frozen solid when you need it.
I hold true that the utilitarian car has been perfected with the Volvo 940 and all subsequent R&D should've flown into either making it more efficient (you do not get to change a single shape even the tiniest fucking bit) or develop EV engine swap kits that could be installed by a 10 year old with a lift
Seriously!!!! My partner has a forester that they have filled with field equipment for their job. I have a VW Golf that I have hauled Christmas trees on top of. We will both empty out trunks and put our seats down so we can lug our trash to the dump or bags of mulch back from the nursery.
I don’t need a 4ft bed and 8 inch lift to do normal labor with my vehicles.
:this: :this: :this:
If you have a crew cab truck with a short bed you have just ruined much of the purpose of having a truck!
I use an '89 Nissan as my work vehicle. Many of my coworkers who use modern pickups take twice as long to load the bed lol
You don't spend $130k on a workhorse you spend $130k when you want a luxury vehicle that's worse in every way than an actual luxury vehicle but you get to keep telling yourself you're really working class.
This is the perfect vehicle to call into a zoom meeting from a job site, never get out of the vehicle, and then go to the bar at 3pm.
I'm telling you, wealth is wasted on the wealthy.
They make all the good stuff super expensive with the idea that only the rich will enjoy it: like college, walkable cities, healthcare, vacations, art, learning artistic skills, decent fashion, healthy food, gyms, culture, etc....and they end up getting high off their own supply of proleslop and do shit like this in order to make themselves look poor.
The rich are intelligent enough to recognize good taste and make it expensive....but why do they make this country so fucking ugly and live in the ugly-ass, car-dependent boonies?
Pretty sure this guy isn't wealthy and is up to his eyeballs in debt to pay for this monstrosity.
The rich are intelligent enough to recognize good taste and make it expensive
Eh, a lot of rich people things (especially their interior design) are really gaudy and ugly, it really depends on the fancy thing I guess.
Oh don't get me wrong, the wealthy are super tacky. I just mentioned that part because all the objectively beautiful, good things (or the closest there is to it) in the US is ALWAYS the most expensive.
But the wealthy have this weird quirk of indulging in some hideous shit, and that's what I mean by them getting high off their own supply. They reserve some things as proleslop, ugly disposable clothing, disgusting 'food', ugly irrelevant suburbs in bumfuck nowhere, and porky actually likes them.
I'm just wondering why the stuff I like that is also not to porky's taste (and get called gay for liking by normies and porky alike), is also stuff that the wealthy gatekeep for only them and jacks up the price so as they can only be enjoyed by other rich people.
God I still remember all the boomers yammering on about their cruises to me when I was a bartender and don't even get me started on the their little tantrums when covid kept them from their floating petri dishes
I mean, there’s a difference between having a lot of money and being “wealthy.” This sounds like an old man complaining at clouds, but look at all the rich kids or influencers decked out in Gucci and yeezys and LV. Everyone knows they have money, but no one thinks they have taste.
Billionaires and politicians wear the blandest bullshit. A slight step up from being a billboard, but no one is giving style points to Zuckerberg lol. It seems like the richer you become, the less you care about brands and looking rich. But that comes with an overcorrection where you don’t give a shit about anything but numbers.
Zuckerberg also still wears stupidly expensive clothing. It just looks plain. I get the power move he does, I like to employ that one myself to lanyards and suit people, but wearing a $800 grey hoodie that looks like a $25 grey hoodie seems even dumber to me than wearing the $800 gucyeelvly shit.
It'd be uncritical support if they didn't go there to talk about how lazy minorities are taking everybody's money (they're still taking 75% of what they're charging the client for their employees labor)
It's even worse than that. GM, Dodge and Ford don't officially sell their full size trucks in Australia. There's a company in Brisbane that charges an arm and a leg to import and do right-hand-drive conversions on base level trim trucks that an average dumb fuck in the US can afford but here they're sPeCiAL and, of course, they don't fit anywhere. I hope this removed gets keyed everywhere he parks.
Oh, no, nobody buying these things in the US can afford them. These things roll off the lot powered more because of subprime lending than gasoline.
For that price you can buy two full size trucks in China.
1970s Toyota:
- used by 5 generations of insurgents on every side of a conflict
- taken apart and put back together for 20 years now - truck of thesus
- carries tens of thousands of pounds of explosions, ammo, and anti air guns
- shot at 5 million times, air struck, blown up by an IED - only needs a new tire
2024 Chevy Silverado Bulge XXXL Extreme Traversal Man Edition:
- risks death just to look at screen to change AC
- lost keys, can’t start car
- repairs cost 5 months of wages
- used to transport groceries and 20 pounds of tools (no other car can do this!)
- medical bills increase from high blood pressure every time I see a scratch on the door
- used by insurgents in the War Against Pedestrians
The ruling class fears the power of the hilux, they know it is the key to our liberation
I actually saw a small 90s Toyota pickup on the road today, I was all
i would be so tempted to do my first carjacking lol.
my dad still owns a tiny old school nissian frontier with like 250k miles on it and i hope to one day inherit it as my grandfather passed it down to him
Any car with a touchscreen isn't worth the child slaves blood shed to build it
i'm a pretty chill bro, and by that i mean i have legendary non-reactive dissembling abilities. people who straddle spaces or otherwise park like assholes make me see red. i don't even mean sloppy, because shit happens and people get in a rush. but impeding others' ability to use space.
when i get older and have handed out my last fuck, i am totally gonna carry ninja rocks and blow out the windows of people like this. the only solace i take is knowing how deeply emotional burger brains get about people fucking with their petroleum chariots.
Another fun idea is drilling through the side of a wheel. Assuming they are using tubeless tires they will need to replace the wheel, not just the tire
Virgin Chevy Silverado 2500 HD versus the Chad 1994 Toyota Corolla
The corolla unironically has transported more stuff over rougher terrain.
I was yelled at for closing the door of a Tesla too hard lol
To be fair, there is a nonzero probability of entire contraption combusting because of that.
I drove a pos Toyota for a while in my 20s and would cherish the opportunity to do this. If some clown was crossed into the adjacent space and I could still fit in the line I’d get in there as tight as I could, preferably to the drivers side. I’d crawl over and get out on the other side of the car. One time I went out the sunroof lol
That one was really funny. There were no spaces left in the lot and this super fancy sports car had taken two, one space over from a massive bush. I scraped the shit out of that bush and parked 2” from their driver side door
this has to be a bit... right? making fun of the way the truck's parked???
I've keyed people's cars for doing this shit and I have no regrets
Pretty sure the statue of limitations is up on those but yes, in GTA
the lil flourish abt the doors almost makes you think it was the truck guy posting. but surely it must be the owner of the white car making good bait.[putting my 130k$ faberge egg in public voice]: how dare people not respect my riches
Pickup trucks should cost, at most, 13k and the heater should be an option. Cmv
