my friend from ontario says:
"This might be for folks who work on oil rigs (Edmonton is close to several), a vehicle like this means they can travel as a full crew. It's still terrible but that might explain it."
- They could get a crew van, fit more in it, and still fit in a standard parking spot.
  Probably also quite a few thousands of dollars cheaper.
  
  Fuck you, vans are gay and you're stupid cuck. /s
  That said, I recently saw a guy that bucked the trend and pimped his family van instead of going full truck. Lowered suspension, wider wheels, hot vinyl and a spoiler. Looked pretty good tbh.
  
  I thought the same, but there may be a very specific combination of conditions where this could make sense: bad roads where ground clearance is needed, no sharp curves that require shorter wheel base, need to take 8 people and need to take their tools/materials. but probably they did just because they could
  
  No ground clearance on van, gona get stuck in the mud. less payload on van, can't just drop a skid of what ever or extra long things like hydraulic cylinders into a van with out akward fucking around. less tow capacity on van, notice the tow bar on the back... What are you gona put a welder, diesel cans, gas cans, pales of hydraulic oil for equipment/ slip tanks, pumps and what not into the van too with the occupants? What about the greasy and oily ass clothes. Throw em in the van too? So they stain and fill the cab with VOCs?
  This is a purpose built one off, and alot of you are out of touch with how work gets done. Not evey job is hauling standard 8x4 drywall. Alot more trades work than just slinging plaster around.
  
  he doesn't disagree, he notes it's still bad but that might explain what we're seeing here, kind of.
  
  Nope. Required to have 4 wheel drive, and a diesel motor, for pipeline or drilling rig work. No gasoline or propane engines, greater explosion risk. Vans really, really suck off road, I have both a pickup and a van, both chevy, both old, both 2wd. There is no comparison between the truck and van off road or dirt roads, even though same powertrain. Ones a pavement princess. Now, a Suburban diesel 4x4 almost fits the bill, but no box for carrying whatever tools you need to take to the rig, or a welder.
- have they never heard of a bus?
  
  A bus... to the oil rig?
  
  In Canada? I'm speking from my brief time in ontario - they have busses but public transport lines aren't all nicely interconnected.
  also, swed nyet
- Crew? Naw. They drive their own rigs.
  But someone who has a poor understanding of birth control because god said so, yes.
  
  That entirely depends. There's lots of rig crews pile in one or two vehicles at the hotel yet.
- all aboard the petrolsine!
- I can guarantee each employee drives one of these (or similar) and do not carpool to work or from office to site.
  
  you might be on to something!
- Oh? And that also means they have to take up 4 parking spots...?
  
  i mean yeah, probably? lol
  don't get it twisted, I'm not defending this monstrosity
- Your friend makes love to cars. Here, they fuck them.
  
  I mean he drives because you don't have a lot of choice out there, but he's also agrees with the "fuck cars" of it all.

I'm keeping my hopes up that this thing would not be street legal in my country.
- It is. Stuff like this is usually built on a "cube van" factory extended cab n chassis frame, where the normal pickup box would fit on, bolt up like factory, but leave a 2 or three foot gap between a normal cab and the front of the box.
  
  I would hope, this ab monstrosity needs at least special drivers licence in most of Europe.

Ah yes the Ford F9000 Pedestrian Pulverizer

Even if you somehow need a vehicle this size, you can park it in a way that it only takes up two spaces, not four.
- They where not even trying, with that thing you could go for the 8 spaces.
  
  Make it two tabs and we speakin'

Truuuuuuuuck

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 ½ mm, should last you about an hour.

Stanz: It was all fine until dickless parked his truck. Mayor: Is that true? Venkman: Yes, this man has no dick.

SIR! PUT DOWN, AND STEP AWAY FROM THE WELDER AND NO ONE NEEDS TO GET HURT!!!!

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!
- I was diagnosed with cancer last year. I am now cured. Cost to me, $0.
- my fellow Americans act like it's the promised land or something.
  So do lemmy Canadians.
- I've been saying this. Honestly, if the US ever goes full 1930s-Germany they're going to be our Poland. I wouldn't even want to move there if I have to leave, at least not long-term.
  
  Austria, more like.
- Oh "we" didn't. Carney is right there on camera with the Maxwell/Epstein/Trump/Clinton set, dudes sister in law is Ghislaine's best friend, connected to British nobility, cousin to our previous prime minister, the whole "conspiracy" is on the fucking wikipedia pages about them. I haven't had health insurance in 9 years. It's provincial, not federal, despite my countrymen that think it's a "right" because of rhetoric, not reality.

there should be a law that if a car goes past a certain size it's officially a public transit and people can barge in and expect you to drop them off along your ride.

"Gas prices are getting out of control"

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.
- I've seen some pretty extreme limos in Alberta. But I also recall people having problems getting registration with extreme limos coming from the US. So it seems to be a bit willy nilly. It varies by province.

No shot that's a real/unmodified model... right?
- No these are modified. Last time I saw a vehicle like that it was a Mormon family out camping with their 17 kids
  Edit: honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car.
  Same with this picture — if somebody felt the need to pay $$$$$ for extending the truck, they’re probably actually using that space for something productive and not just driving it around empty. I’m way more mad about the incredible waste of every suburban individual having their own heavy duty cargo hauler for daily chores that don’t need it, then I am about modified special-purpose vehicles doing a job.
  
  […] honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car. […]
  Wouldn't some kind of van be more practical? Perhaps they wanted both a van and a pickup truck, but they didn't want/couldn't afford 2 separate cars, so they just melded the two together?
  
  There's some family in the area I live in which owns a full length van and has a stick family sticker that has probably about 10? kids in it. I've never seen it at a time that I can count but it's more kids than I can eyeball and tell you how many on the stick family
- No car manufacturer mass produces a chassis like that. That's an unholy marriage of a suburban and an F250 super duty.

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

At first I thought this was here because of how stupid and obscene this truck is. This just SCREAMS "my penis is 1 inch, and I'm insecure". It gets a whole 30 feet to the gallon!
Then I noticed the park job. This is the type of park job I'd intentionally smash with the shopping cart, on my way to return my cart to those little cart return cages.
This guy is an asshole. Plain and simple. Yes, fuck the truck too, because it shouldn't even exist, but aldo fuck this guy in particular. I hope a meteor falls from the sky, crushes the back half of his truck into a pancake, and otherwise doesn't cause any injuries or harm.
- Probably driving it around without any passengers
- My dude I think you need help. There are legitimate reasons for a six seater with a bed. Not in my use case and, as I can see by your response, definitely not in yours.
  While personal vehicles used for transportation are largely against logic, there are industrial uses for a truck like that.
  
  shopping is most certainly not one of those use cases
  
  But the park job? Could it not fit in two?
  
  there are no industrial uses for a truck like this, you do not need a lifted 6-seater with an open bed for anything other than satisfying a need for attention.
  you could maybe invent a highly specific usecase where this would be convenient, but that scenario is going to be a fantasy that doesn't apply to reality.

caaar

I used to see that one (or a reasonable hand-drawn facsimile)all the time when I lived there. I thought it was just an Edmonton-themed limousine.

It goes up to 11.

That’s no truck, that’s an Air Force practice bombing target. Or should be.

Valve stim remover

what the fuck kind of carbomination even is that
- It is a 6 door pickup. They are very common.
  
  I would not say common, but they certainly exist. I've only seen maybe a couple in person here in, let's say the very central U.S. There are no factory produced trucks like that as far as I'm aware, these are all (very expensive, I'm sure) aftermarket or custom conversions, on top of the already $60k-100k truck.

Aye, that’s a Pavement Princess bought with more money than sense.

It somehow looks like a dachshund. But less cute :(

Drove all the way up there from Texas?
- From Texas up to Snow Texas

Taken from about here.

looking at that car burns the eyes

That when his compensation isn't just small, it's inverted

Yeah, this is ego driven performative art. Love em' or hate 'em the United States Army knows how to troop transport, and this is sacrilegious.

This person is truly ashamed of their self.

Mmmm looks comfy
Edit: it does not look comfy. It looks like you’ll feel every single bump and rut twice - once when the front hits it and again when the back hits it.

Stretch-650

Keep some gel deodorant in your purse or backpack and put it on the car door handles of people who park like this.
- What does that do? I'm not familiar.
  
  It's just deodorant in gel form instead of solid or liquid. It gets all over the offender's hands and is stinky, a little gross, and hard to remove.
  But it also doesn't damage anything, so in the end, it's just a harmless prank in response to someone parking like a jerk.
  
  Slimy hands.

Somebody needs to take a long, hard look at their short, stubby dick, and get real.

i like cars, but i agree fuck this car xD

Man is this A.I.? All sorts of fucked up little details if you zoom in. Trucks like this exist out there, why fake it?
- I don't think so. The dirt coming down from the handles is very consistent with rain on a vehicle after driving through the dry Alberta dust areas. I don't see anything particularly inconsistent with a custom stretch job here. They'd need a way bulkier frame under a stretched truck like this, and the extra height is consistent with a tall frame and lift.
  Edit: sorry for the bad site, but here's a 3 year old picture of another stretched dodge for you to compare with: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/fx5uyh/this_six_door_dodge_ram_i_saw_at_mesa_verde/
  
  no lugnuts
- Only inconsistency I see is around the tailgate with the tow setup, specifically the blurry corner of the sedan's body panel behind it, probably a rain drop on the glass in front of the camera.
  Edit: also see https://liftandtow.com/products/z-series/
  
  Good point. Any reflections I've looked at are consistent too.
  
  No driveshaft
- Some phone cameras do something like that, especially if the lens are dirty.

THIS IS SO FAKE, WHY LIE ABOUT TRUCKS ARENT THEY BIG ENOUGH AS IT IS?
- https://www.kingseriespickup.com/
  https://www.f650pickups.com/augusta.html
  https://stretchmytruck.com/services/six-door-conversions/
  6-door pickups are very much a thing.
- I don't think it's fake, just look at the last door; it's the dry/dirty spot below the handle is a different shape which tells me it isn't just a copy/paste of another one. The center door window is also narrower than the others, to accommodate the additional pillar that would be needed for the structure.
  Plus it (probably) wouldn't be centered in 4 parking spaces if it wasn't that long. Normal length trucks take up 2 spaces at most, if the driver is an asshole. It's very possible, if expensive, to modify a truck like that. You've seen a limo right? Same concept.
  
  My guess is this is for the oil fields in some way since you could get a crew into one vehicle.
  Never the less the fact that they choose a pickup truck when they could have had a really sweet off road van is depressing. You can't account for taste I guess.

stupid lame brainwashed idiots (dwz) repeating childish slogans from a douchebag who got kicked out of his own riding. give it a rest...nobody cares about your regurgitation of horse shit.
- ......what?
