    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

      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.

        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.

      It's worse because I doubt you would be able to live somewhat comfortably in one of these, while taking up the space of an actual RV. I just can't wrap my head around this type of car.

      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.

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

    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.
