Do they offer these for RAM drivers too? I need it for my city.

    In Canada, they lift them so no one can see them having gay sex with prostitutes. But then, they are tippy, so they punch the wheels out past the fenders, which sprays shit everywhere in rain, and causes the hubs to wear quickly or break. What amazes me is that these guys have jobs that pay money. Of course, both lifting and wider wheels are not legal, but police do not enforce because they all own lifted trucks with wider wheels.

    This Boomer woman, in a lifted pink BarbieDozer, ran into her spa because she could not see the sidewalk in front of her.

    The op picture is from the UK, since it refers to the NHS. An Australian sign like that would say Medicare

    But yes, it's people cosplaying blue collar

    One of my favorite classic Top Gear episodes was when the lads drove locally sourced used cars across Africa.

    Oh now I want to start shoving these into the windshields of every F-150 and other cope wagon I see in a parking lot.

    I do like how it specified city, acknowledging yeah there's sometimes a decent use case for this, but why the fuck did you bring it here?

    I'd be mortified too. You mean I didn't need to spend all of that money on a power vehicle?

    My two year old likes big trucks, it hurts my soul to act excited when we see one.

    To piss them off, I would add fake breasts to a small sedan and tell them it's the same thing.

    Ooh I live near cowboys. You do NOT want to piss them off.

    That's why I told YOU his truck is trans, NOT him.

    I live near cowboys too, and pissing them off is basically a local pastime. They get red in the face if you refer to their lifted pickup Pavement Princess as “gender-affirming care”. They’ll balk at first. Then you drop the “you drive it cuz that’s what real men drive, right? Because it makes you feel manly? Yeah buddy, that’s gender-affirming care.” They’ll piss and moan about how it’s not true, but they’ll remember it going forwards. Every time they start to drop the “real men drive trucks” BS, they’ll remember that conversation.

    I know if I got so utterly owned by a completely anonymous stranger the very first thing I would do is run to the news and tell them all about it.

    I have a Jeep.

    Kind of a useless on-road or urban vehicle and so it's only used for my frequent trips requiring 4×4.

    Range Rovers are a weird one because they too are pretty useless on-road while also being notoriously useless off-road. Really highlights insecurity, stupidity, ora combination of the two.

    Funny, in Australia Jeep is not respected as an of road vehicle, we don't do much rock crawling which is where they shine.

    LandCruiser is the off-road vehicle here. Isuzu off-road trucks are also respected

    Jeeps are not sufficiently reliable

    They're very reliable because of their mechanical simplicity (intentional) which also makes them very easy to work on in the wilderness with a minimalist tool kit by design. Have never had a "failure" in 130,000 and that thing gets mechanically pushed so hard. Granted I maintain it very well due to the role is has.

    But compared to Toyota reliability, that's kind of their whole reputation. And I guess outside of the few major cities, Australians aren't exactly surrounded by towns and workshops, so it makes sense they want the most reliable. The LandCruiser is, after all, an agriculture vehicle first, but with fairly good off-road capability as part of that design. They've been designed to be in the middle of no where farming for years and be able to limp for months if a part fails and can't be repaired any time soon.

    Not sure why you'd pick one as a recreation vehicle, though, unless touring extreme remote is your main 4×4ing. I don't imagine every Australian is into that though. And even then, I'dprobably take an Ineos or a classic Unimog for the lols.

    If that's the way they are in America, I'm surprised. In Australia and the UK they are famous for being one of very few vehicles where you come out ahead if you buy extended warranty

    Probably a Red Bull can then, because uk and USA cans are like 8” and 10” in circumference. Red Bulls are something like 6.5”.

    Don’t ask why I know this useless info unless you like to know more about geek night trivia, and beer.

    Mortified seems like a strong reaction. Somewhere between annoyed and reflective should be the response.
