At that point it should be classified as a monster truck

I think I already know the answer, but... Aren't there laws against those abominations? Nothing at all?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Hahahahahahahaha

And then if there are, they don’t really get enforced.

Phew, I'm really happy it's not allowed here. The BMWs usually park like idiots though 😁

Saw a similarly beefed up car take up 4 spots once in a parking lot. They pulled forward and so took up both spaces front and back, but also was too wide and so just parked down the middle. Only way it gets worse is they park diagonally to take up even more spaces.

And the BMW is much better and nicer car to drive as well

The seats are so comfortable while waiting for the tow truck.

Set fire to it. The end.

The dumbest one I came across was equally high but had a handicap license plate, placard and all. I wish I grabbed a picture.

I know some physical disabilities might still let you climb a ladder to get into your vehicle but c'mon.

If one of those big trucks runs you over then sue the manufacturer. I'm sure if someone dug deep enough they'd find the old vehicle size standards document out there somewhere.

Visiting southern US for the holidays. There was a truck idling to warm it up yesterday, it was 47F out. We saw the driver walking up as we passed so proceeded to have a conversation about big strong manly men in their big strong manly trucks being able to handle "a bit of a chill".

I mean... Most considerate big truck owner actually

Overlooked point. Where I come from those monsters park exclusively in compact parking spots.
