I've said it before and I'll say it again but these are the drivers that are calling you a tankie online. The people driving literal fucking tanks

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Actually, I think the people that drive these tend to be too-far right to even know what a tankie is. The people calling you tankie probably drive, like, Priuses.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The people driving these cars are more likely to call you an f-slur.

Work as a mechanic and these guys are always the type to have right-wing bumper stickers and make their politics known to everyone.

The one thing that I learned as a meth addict several years ago was that the likelihood of there being a gun in the vehicle and the vehicle being unlocked goes up rapidly and exponentially with every right wing sticker.

Those stickers literally make them targets for car prowlers.

On the other hand, it's good to know where to get what we in the business call "an offensive handgun" if you need one in a hurry.

Soon the smallest car you'll be able to get will be a whole full size RV

[–] tripartitegraph@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm almost impressed with how absurd and ugly this is

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They took the worst aspects of an 18 wheeler and a pickup truck and combined them at the expense of literally every single benefit.

I mean fuck you could have a basically pre built truck camper on that platform that would somehow look better and have better aerodynamics.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Fucking tax these things like the heavy vehicles they are already

Reminds me of some old robot chicken sketch where some stupidly rich kid is showing off his stuff. He gets to his solid gold truck and says it gets "13 feet per tank of gas".

Legalize pedestrian use of antitank rifles

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Concealed carry self defense anti-tank mines.

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I'm grinning ear to ear thinking what a round of armor piercing incendiary 20mm would do to those exposed gas tanks.

...Park that BIG MAC TRUCK. Right in this little garage...

Is the market made of children?

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Remember folks, always pack some dry lentils for when you randomly encounter a SUV. Or, you know, whatever that monstrosity is.

[–] sisatici@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We should stop giving a shit about it and just say their models are "compensator"

[–] Dingus_Khan@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Unironically that's exactly what these big trucks are for in many cases

[–] xi_simping@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

what the fuck

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

There is a semi truck manufacturer called MAN so clearly this will be the real choice of alpha males

[–] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

god what an awful truck.

I remember many years ago my mom had a black Toyota, it was half as tall as this thing and had more usable bed space.

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The wheels in those wheelwells are like Charlie Kirk's facial features on his face.

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Does anyone know the model of this truck? I want to bully a swedish coworker if it is indeed a Scania (guy is pretty outspoken about american cars being "stupid and for stupid people")

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

It isn't a Scania at least.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He is, but the point is that Scania is a Swedish auto manufacturer

About 90% certain it's a freightliner M2 106

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

People really love to accelerate climate change and then complain about it when it comes back to bite them.

[–] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

lol Clearly a delivery truck with a stupid truck bed.

the mcmainsion of trucks

[–] NotErisma@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's an International MXT truck.

I can't believe I know what that truck is.

[–] Confound4082@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

It looks similar, but the mxt has a more squared off cab.

I think this is a freightliner M2 106
