i just like how silly and absurd this truck looks
its like a satirical cartoon truck meant to poke fun of enormous trucks, except its real and unironic.
Itβs got nothing on an F650 super truck. Iβve driven past one on I35 outside of San Antonio, TX.
For a size reference, hereβs Doug DeMuro, 6β3β (1.9m):
this legit looks like a semi, but for people with tiny genitals
These are medium and heavy duty trucks, they're like semi-lite lol (semi-semi?)
They make a lot more sense in literally any configuration other than pick-up truck.
Example:
Itβs a class 6 medium duty work truck converted to a passenger truck.
How many bananas tall is Doug?
I'm keeping my hopes up that this thing would not be street legal in my country.
I've been saying Canada is just Diet US. Credit where it's due, they elected the lesser dumbass. Also, healthcare. Good on y'all. Obviously Canada is better than the US but my fellow Americans act like it's the promised land or something. The cost of living is still to damn high, and they still have the same right-wing populist idiots we have. Also, I get our bills and coins suck. Dead old white man and all but how is the fucking royals supposed to be better? I think fascist monarchs are way worse. To any Canadians offended by this, please don't be. It was not my intent to offend you and I very much realize I am throwing stones from a glass house here. Love you guys!
Ah yes the Ford F9000 Pedestrian Pulverizer
Does canada have really lax limo safety laws? i recall hearing about stretch SUVs in the US that killed like entire friend groups during prom in the US because there's absolutely no regulation of these things in some places.

Stanz: It was all fine until dickless parked his truck. Mayor: Is that true? Venkman: Yes, this man has no dick.
Too much truck, not enough dick, as they say.
Slide under the midpoint with a battery powered angle grinder or a sawzall and cut 3/4 of the way through one side of the frame. Then you just let physics do the rest when they hit a good hard bump.
Xanthan gum and muriatic acid will make a nice corrosive paste that might do the trick if you're into edging with your sabotage.
Sawing that thing without being caught is hard. So, about that xanthan and muriatic paste, what kind of gloves should I use for protection?
Nitrile gloves, thicker the better. It will break them down but it will take a while. The fumes are chlorine gas, but aren't that bad if you're outside. What you really have to watch out for is getting it in your eyes, wear goggles.
Baking soda will neutralize it, so you might want a gallon of water and some baking soda on hand. It will burn your skin if you leave it on you, but it takes a minute and you have time to just wash it off.
Paint brush would be a good way to apply it.
Nitrile, thickness Β½ mm, should last you about an hour.

I didn't know they made buses with a cargo bed.
