You don’t fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

I really think driving these things around should only be legal for work purposes.
The loophole is many who own their own trades business still drive them for personal uses because they can’t afford (don’t want) another car.
If only the people who drove them for legitimate work purposes owned them, even as their only vehicle, it would be a huge number off the roads.
I think that it’s going to take societal change to stop this from being the norm. In Australia there was a road safety campaign with the slogan:
“Speeding. No one thinks big of you.”
It essentially compared speeding with having a small penis, by using the metaphor of a wiggling pinkie, and thus embarrassing perpetrators.
In other words, it needs to become uncool to drive such a massive vehicle. Perhaps “The bigger the trick, the smaller the …”

Fuck these big ass trucks, should be illegal!
They should reduce the height on parking garages to exclude them.
They have a steel beam barrier at 6’2" at the entrance to my hospital parking and some broski rams into it every week.
Agreed, but that’s probably an issue for fire safety. There’s probably some regulation that mandates a minimum height.
And some vans designed for transporting people with wheelchairs/powerchairs could be blocked out.
I dunno, I’ve met parking garages I couldn’t safely walk through at a modest 6’5"
emotional support truck
shaft disorders are no laughing matter
There should be an oversized vehicle parking area in the most inconvenient section of the garage, and if your vehicle is too big, you have to go park there.
my aunt used to seek out parking garages that either were proactive at ticketing vehicles that were sticking way out like that, or had a lowered roof at the front to prevent larger vehicles in the first place. She said she was surprised that they existed but said it made actually navigating it so much easier.
I can defo understand that, it’s hard enough parking as it is, and thats without a vehicle taking up half the roadway as well.
It’s really bad where I live, in Seattle. The vast, vast majority of parking spots are compact (even the ones not labeled as such). And you’ve got these and giant SUVs making it hard to park and, even moreso, get in and out of a regular car.
The US government classifies it as 8 tanks.
But it’s classed as a motorcycle for fuel consumption requirements.
And a small business for tax purposes.
A non passenger vehicle is likely whats its designated as. Or a “light truck”.
But how else is he supposed to convince himself he’s not an insecure, emotionally stunted man-child?!
car racism why :(
Car racism, that term made me smile. :)
On a related topic, most cars today are white, gray or black. Other colors are rare. Its said to be because people think those colors are elegant. I just think they are boring for cars…
car brain why :(
why big car bad :(
Literally poking out into where traffic is supposed to be? Gets in the way? Wastes more gas just cuz big=“cool” (big != cool). Has same size truck bed/towing capacity as Japanese trucks literally half the size
Besides other reasons mentioned cars like this have a much higher chance of causing casualties when they’re involved in accidents. Driving those things is harmful to the environment and everyone around you.
They’re actively raising fuel prices (by driving up demand), destroying roads, fucking up the environment and cause 61 traffic fatalities a year on average (according to the IIHS).
What’s not to love?
“racism” fucking lmao
What?
Just a troll
