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

Mad Mad was written at its time about the pronounced obsession with cars in the mid 20th century. Kinda like American Graffiti.
Later one of the writers (George Miller, maybe) recognized crude doesn’t refine itself.
I mean, they don’t let me make these types of jokes no more. Fucking Government…
What a ridiculous gender affirming vehicle.
Cyberpunk 2077 cosplay
A castrated, cucked man drives this.
Penis Extender 6900
I’m sure this is someone who has all their shit toghether. No issues whatsoever.
Camo pyjamas.
Yeah but you see that’s smart.
Boogeymonster already knows aboit the blanket trick. So then when it does pull away the blanky:
yoink
“Huh? Where’d he go?”
Someone made Bane their personality.
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.
Pro Life!!!
And he will be taken out with 1 drone strike if it ever came to actual conflict. I wonder how much that monstrosity cost.
He’ll be taken out if the local Applebees closes for a week.
It was only $10k, actually. Just put something down, drive it for a few months and let the repo guy come get it. Cheaper than renting.
Nah you just roll the negative equity into the next one and then the one after that and
At the end of the spiral you’ll have a base model F-150 with 200k principal owed on it at only 17,9% APR for 10 years
It’s the exact same with preppers. Oh I see you’ve got stockpiles of food in this basement so you could last about 6 months, I’m sure the ash clouds will have dispersed by then. Presumably they are on some special alert list so that they’ll be told in the event of nuclear strike so they can get to their nice bunker in time.
More than the drone
What else are you supposed to drop Tarquin off in?
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.
The huge radiator grill is all fine and dandy until you accidentally ingested an entire cow into the air intake.
True (and funny), which is why any proper doom mech should have a cow catcher on it. Or a giant spike ram. At least according to my 12 years old imagination.
Woah I’ve never seen a fully rendered cyber truck, I always just see the ps2 model.
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.
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.
Will presumably it does about quarter mile to the gallon so it’ll be out of fuel and abandoned at the side of the road within the first week.
Oh I love this. So many parts so exposed, if someone carried a grudge they’d just take a cordless angle grinder to it and it’d be disabled without you even noticing until you try to drive it away. Shit, you could just cut into the engine block sooo easily.
What the fuck are those actually supposed to be good for?
compensating
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.
Car guy here, let me explain!
Nah I’m just fucking with you, I don’t have an explanation. This doesn’t look fun to drive on roads and despite having more ground clearance than something like a Toyota RAV4 and 6 wheel drive and everything, I wouldn’t take it off road either. So much distance between the first and second axle. Damn thing looks like it could bend pretty easily if you drive it the way one ought to drive an off-road vehicle with a Hellcat engine: Like a trophy truck. Because trophy trucks are built to take that beating and this is almost certainly not. So you can crawl slowly with your 900 horsepower tuned Hellcat and watch some dude in a Wrangler pass you at a fifth of the price and a third of the engine size because smaller and lighter is an advantage when going off road over heavy and clumsy usually.
😆
Yeah dude, it just makes no sense whatsoever except as a dick extender. Such nonsense.
Also you could actually buy a dick extender that’s actually amazing to drive on road for that money AND have enough money left over to buy something that’s better than this off road
And probably a literal dick extender, too! 🥒
people entrust their money to somebody who makes decisions like this?
that’s… interesting
His taste in vehicles aside, he is apparently quite savvy with money management.
He also owns a Ukranian jet. Refurbished, of course.
I didn’t think you could find an uglier car than the cybertruck, but you’ve done it! Jesus fucking Christ.
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.
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.
Not legal in DC, either, but unfortunately that doesnt stop people
The main differences that in the EU, if something is not legal, companies are not allowed to sell it.
Then how do people do things like auto racing on tracks if they can’t buy non-street-legal cars? Or off roading? You can definitely buy plenty of Unimogs that look effectively the same as this.

They can’t. This class of vehicle isn’t legal in the European Union it’s why the cybertruck isn’t legal (there’s a whole bunch of other problems with it as well but the weight limit is a major problem). If you wanted anyway just to have it on private property you’re out to luck. Someone did train import to cybertruck into the UK and had it confiscated.
I think there is a classification for vehicle that you can get if it’s something like a race car or rally car but it can’t be driven on the road and has to be driven around on a truck to move it.

Looks like there are plenty of places selling similar vehicles in the UK and EU.
Look closer. They are not like the vehicle above. None of them has tires that are extending beyond the fenders. None of them has dysfunctional fenders like that abomination above. Guess why.
The difference is the these laws are enforced here
Must be nice, lol. Unfortunately, in the US, most rules around the road legality of a vehicle are enforced during inspections, which not every state has. Even the states that have them have a really low cost on the inspection, so mechanics who do them are incentivized to just rubber stamp them.
Other than that, lots of problems are considered a “secondary offense”, which means you won’t be pulled over for it, but you can be ticketed for it if you are pulled over for another reason. Broadly, I dont think that’s necessarily a bad policy, but it does have the effect where they end up being effectively unenforced unless the cop has a reason to want to hit you with the book.
In the EU enforcement of traffic rules is a matter of member states, but many rules are codified on EU level, at least for what is street legal. That abomination above violates the common rules already quite clearly. It is thinkable that one can grey import individual cars and get a custom license for that but even than some modifications will be required, but that depends on the local authorities. In any case it must be hard or expensive as you basically don’t see that kind of nonsense on the streets.
If you are seen driving an obviously non-street legal car and can’t come up with papers to the contrary your vehicle gets immediately grounded, towed and you can call a taxi. If you are a repeat offender chances are you could lose your drivers license and when you are driving without one consequences can get much worse.
But hey, you can still get an Aixam for your mobility needs without a drivers license: https://www.aixam.com/en/ They even sell “Crossovers” for those with increased compensation needs.
Are RVs illegal in the EU? This doesn’t look bigger than those, just dumber.
There are likely numerous things that make this hard to get street legal. The one I am pretty certain are the tires extending beyond the anyway entirely dysfunctional (non street legal) fenders. This is horrendously dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
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.
I drive an old ass S10 and it gets better gas mileage and has a bigger bed than most of the newer bigger trucks coming out these days.
12
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.
It’s because when you are 12, you still have a baby penis and no testicles, which is exactly the requirement for owning this truck.
These guys are narcissists and don’t age past 12 emotionally.
dual axles to haul the heaviest of insecurities and crushing debt
Along with hauling around an inverted weenie and underdeveloped cranium.
