On behalf of the 6’4” community, I miss my ‘98 Honda Accord daily. Stolen and mutilated only a couple road trips shy of 300k miles. Cut down in it’s prime.

To be fair, I had never seen it on the road...
Yeah we have those. I think I've only ever seen 1 or 2. It's a drop in the bucket compared to all the semi trucks we rely on but that doesn't excuse the people who buy them to take their kids to school and buy groceries. Except for Shaq, I guess. I think he bought one and customized it so he can have enough leg room.
The only time I've seen this car was on MTV cribs once maybe 20 years ago.
I saw the picture and initially thought this was a Newcommunities post about a radio controlled car community 😭 not about an ACTUAL car omg
How are you supposed to be aware of who is walking in front of you in that thing???
This truck is almost explicitly a fleet vehicle for construction and the like. Pretending encountering this $150,000 work vehicle is a common occurrence is super disingenuous.
If you're gonna be scared of trucks, we least be scared of the ones you actually see.
I mean even the 'regular' f150 is too big imo and that isn't exclusive to construction.
The F650 is pretty much the last thing you buy before you need a proper semi/tractor truck. I have seen a few, and known someone with one; and they routinely use it for cash hauls to make a living. Paying LTL (less than truck load) rates are very expensive and slow compared to hiring a contractor to haul something you need in a timely manner. The guy I knew that owned one used it to make a living hauling farm and construction equipment long distances.
Most F650's that are produced will not have a bed, because they either get fitted with a flatbed or a cargo box.
I've seen a couple that were mobile paper shredders/recyclers (for larger businesses)
