    My first thought was
    “Who gets out of this car and thinks ‘yeah, that’ll be fine’?”
    But then I realized this is a person that saw this monstrosity of a “car” and thought to themselves
    “Yeah, this is fine, I want that.”

      Ich vermute der Wagen wird von einem recht klein geratenen Bodybuilder gefahren. Ist ein bisschen wie bei einer Essstörung, nur dass sie sich und ihre Autos immer zu “schmal” finden und nicht zu dick. Körper und Auto sind zu klein für das Ego.

        Merkwürdigeweise werden solche Amikarren hier in meiner hinterwäldlerischen Region hauptsächlich von irgendwelchen kleinen IT Krautern gefahren… warum auch immer.

    Is the tram’s power enough to ram that Ram? Surely it won’t be able to dodge the tram’s ram.

    An impressive respectful fine of up to €1K is highly appreciated in these disrespectful situations with total disregard for the public transportation.

      Höchst wahrscheinlich wird der abgeschleppt, da die Tram da nicht mehr vorbei kommt. Ich hoffe der bekommt für das Blockieren der Tram noch eine saftige Strafe aufgebrummt, über das reine Falsch-Parken und die Abschleppgebühren hinaus.

      das bringt leider nicht viel, wenn die Strafe nicht am Einkommen & Vermögen berechnet wird

        Das sollte man wie eine illegale Müll-Entsorgung im öffentlichen Raum behandeln:
        Den Truck fachgerecht entsorgen und dem Halter die Rechnung dafür schicken.

    Had no idea how truly huge some of these pickups are now days until I started loading them at Lowe’s. Plenty of reasons to need a powerful truck in America, particularly for contractors and the like, but fuck me.

    My 2004 F150 is tiny compared to these monsters and I can do whatever. Hell, I towed a 20" boat with my Eclipse convertible, I think a normal pickup can tow about whatever. My next vehicle will almost surely be a small pickup.

      Nah, even for contracters there are far more practical options like the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter style vehicles. The current Ford F-150, Dodge RAM, Cybertruck and so on are just impractical and a safety hazard to everyone else. You literally can’t see children in the driveway ahead of you. And most people who drive them aren’t even contractors.

      And there are SO MANY of them. I swear it’s like every other car on the road here in Colorado. You work in an office, Larry, you don’t need that stupid thing.

      They all drive like psychos too.

        I’d love you to see what I load and compare to European trucks! The guys in lumber load some scary shit on “regular” trucks. The other night I was helping and the truck owner and my boss were like, “Yeah. Let’s just stop and you can come back.”

        Guessing in Europe monster loads get moved by even bigger trucks, purpose built?

          When spending time with my relatives in Vietnam told me one thing, then it is this: You don’t need a truck to haul impressive amounts of stuff, you don’t even need a station wagon… hell, you don’t even need a CAR! A 125 ccm Honda moped with an determined rider can transport amzing loads of stuff.

          Yes, purpose built. There aren’t many uses for pickup trucks here when you can just get a normal 7.5 tonne truck. For an F350, you need a truck license in Europe anyways since it exceeds 3.5 tonnes. (yes curb weight is slightly below, but you exceed it as soon as you have more than just the driver.
