Canyonero! (Unexplained fires are matters for the courts)

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride!

She blinds everybody with her super high beams! She's a squirrel-squashin', deer smackin' drivin' machine!

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 30 points 4 days ago

Smells like a steak and seats 35!

The federal highway commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Don't forget the LED headlights that outshine kilonovas.

I am both horrorfied and delighted by this, thank you

Stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9, IRL.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I want to see that and the half-width Jeep (also owned by the same museum) driving down two lanes side by side.

Westside Customs in shambles for not coming up with it sooner

🎵Canyonaro!!!🎵

Cars are wider because the bigger the area under the car the lower the fuel economy is allowed to be.

[–] mech@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

Which makes sense, if course

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 3 days ago

There's also the fact that all of the modern safety equipment takes up more space.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

The big sad box is highly accurate.

[–] aeiou@piefed.social 24 points 4 days ago

don't give them ideas

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I drive a Chevrolet Movie Theater.

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I can't believe this was like 15 years ago. I also remember from the same time that I don't drink beer, I drink liquor.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fifteen? Interior Crocodile Alligator was 2007, back when ytmnd was relevant.

These ads really sold me on the concept of wide cars as a kid. Just look at it, it's so wide.90s Pontiac Grand Prix magazine ad

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They had to invent these wide cars so that people could transport their long eggs from the supermarket

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Chickens like, the fuck? Why isn't this coming out?

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I believe cats have been getting wider by an average of 5mm per year for the last few decades

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Maybe ease up on the lasagne.

[–] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You'll bring ruin upon us all!

I’d love to know why anyone is downvoting this. Truly curious what’s to dislike here.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 3 days ago

They don't like being called out

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 4 points 4 days ago

Probably strikes a nerve with some people.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

the latest volvo is 1.98m wide. the underground garage at my last place had a 2.2m wide door which i once managed to clip in my chevy volt. i wonder if the auto-pilot or whatever is good enough to navigate that.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 3 days ago

wow that's... tight

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

shit i wonder if i'm good enough to navigate that. there's a reason i ride a bike (it's more fun)

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

EX90? And when the mirrors are extended, you're easily up to 2.1m wide. It's like they want to crash into stuff when driving in the city. Or "störst går först" mentality...

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 4 days ago

no the ex60, the "smaller" one...

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 4 days ago

When you think your copewagon proves that you really are the main character.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

They already have those. They call them jeeps.

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I drive a vehicle that's 2.5m wide, 3.5m tall, and 11m long.

[–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sounds perfect to drop the kids off at school. Like, all of them.

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I could hypothetically transport like 40 children depending on how you pack them, probably pretty easy because of how soft their bones are.

But I live in this thing so no trespassers.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

A bus from my childhood with very close dimensions is specced at fitting 110 adult people, eight per square meter. It was believed to possibly actually fit 200 at peak rush hour. Folks gave it a loving nickname ‘cattle wagon’.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Already happening in Texas.

[–] ghost_rider69@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Down side: you're more likely to get hit by car due to bigger hotbox

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

The fact that you are driving halfway into oncoming trafic doesn't help

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

That would look fierce parked diagonally 8 standard-sized parking stalls and 2 handicap stalls.
