    I do like how it specified city, acknowledging yeah there’s sometimes a decent use case for this, but why the fuck did you bring it here?

    Oh now I want to start shoving these into the windshields of every F-150 and other cope wagon I see in a parking lot.

    is the cartoonishly inflated emotional support truck culture taking root in AUS as well? is it similar to the states where you see these hideous monstrosities driving around all polished and manicured, obviously never being driven off the pavement, or hauling anything more than dog food for the owner’s pomeranian?

      In Canada, they lift them so no one can see them having gay sex with prostitutes. But then, they are tippy, so they punch the wheels out past the fenders, which sprays shit everywhere in rain, and causes the hubs to wear quickly or break. What amazes me is that these guys have jobs that pay money. Of course, both lifting and wider wheels are not legal, but police do not enforce because they all own lifted trucks with wider wheels.

      This Boomer woman, in a lifted pink BarbieDozer, ran into her spa because she could not see the sidewalk in front of her.

        The proof there is no god of Abraham is that the god of Abraham flooded the world to get rid of people like this already, and it clearly didn’t work.

      The op picture is from the UK, since it refers to the NHS. An Australian sign like that would say Medicare

      But yes, it’s people cosplaying blue collar

    I’d be mortified too. You mean I didn’t need to spend all of that money on a power vehicle?

    One of my favorite classic Top Gear episodes was when the lads drove locally sourced used cars across Africa.

      How old does it have to be? Because I live in a European city founded in the 9th century, and work near another founded in the 1st century. They’re both full of these gigantic monsters…
