    To make matters worse; lots of the trucks listed that I see on the roads have aftermarket larger “off road” tires and lift kits, making them a good 12+ inches taller than stock.

    And of course, I see them hauling stuff in the bed or on a trailer about 20% of the time at most. But gawd damnit, they’re exercising their rahhts!!

        I once saw a pickup hauling 2x4s. I only noticed because they were too long and not tied down so they dumped them all over an intersection.

      20% in Emotional Support Vehicles? That’s a lot!

      12 inches for the last one is an extra 6.5 ish feet.

      Edit: 10.43/1.60 times 12 inches is my calculation.

      I saw a truck the other day hauling some downspouts in its bed. Except the bed was so short the spouts were sticking out about 3’ over the side of the truck.

      and much safer and more fuel efficient.

      wait a moment… it makes a shitwagon EVEN worse handling and more gas guzzling?

      Holy shit batman, it’s almost as if the owners of these shitwagons are giant assholes

        @mojofrododojo @Lettuceeatlettuce I saw something really wild today. This dude had a Dodge Ram that was lifted… but the tires were small, probably smaller than the recommended size tire for the truck. He was vrooming through a downtown area rolling coal at people dining outside bars & restaurants. So cool. 🙄

          sounds like a grade a toolbag.

          I wish we could execute coal rollers on the roadside. our children, struggling to breath in the future, will wonder why we didn’t.
