Splintercell. All. Of. Them.

Why would you call it gas? It's a liquid?

Splintercell.

Oh guys I'm kidding of course. I was going with the OP's theme here.

Should have added something like '/s' I guess?

Install a ROM on your phone and claim it no longer works on there :-)

I am soooo happy with my Fairphone 6 running /e/OS (no more google)

It's like a warm bed of privacy.

In that case, the end justify the means. :-)

Well I agree. My first reaction was a bit tongue-in-cheek. On purpose to conjure a very specific image; A person owning a huge monster truck without the intention of using it for it's intended purpose but for propping up one's ego.

A Toyoto Hilux is not something I would consider. More along the lines of: https://www.hotcars.com/the-sickest-lifted-trucks-weve-seen-in-2020/

Or these: p.s. Vans have camera's these days, allowing you to even see the ground underneath your fender. So even better then you could ever get with just your mirror's.

Yeah Sorry, I should have said I'm not American. I'm Dutch. I've been to the USA and these things "fit" better in a car-centric society. At least there is room.

But even there I still question it's usefulness, you cannot see right in front of you. You'd miss wheelchairs, children, etc. And van's can usually carry more the the flatbed of a truck.

Yeah I should have said: I'm from the Netherlands as well. And my gripes are only valid here I think. The roads here are NOT made for these monster sized units. Parking one of them means you are half way parked on the curb, meaning pedestrians and wheel chairs can no longer pass.

I've seen cases where these "parked units" block the flow of traffic and even trams!! #useless
