This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn't fit in many places around here it's owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.
Follow up: To whatever bootlicking idiot called PBOT and asked for enforcement on this block, it didn't help. It made things worse just like I cautioned such actions do in the discussion below. They didn't ticket the truck (Which was indeed parking in front of the stop sign this morning) but they did ticket just about every-other car parked on this street for non-street safety related things like parked wrong orientation, literal broken window, expired registration, etc. You probably cost my neighbors a few thousand dollars in combined citations for minor procedural issues, now everybody is miserable and the truck is still parked there. Please, never ever do that again. Your fantasy of calling law enforcement to fix all the problems is not what happens in real life. It doesn't matter who they are, NEVER CALL THE COPS ON YOUR NEIGHBORS.
If your truck is that clean, you should not have a truck.
to be fair its function is to make people in 1800s-platted, narrow downtown Portland streets afraid that they'll be run down by this idiot who can't see where he's going. If he actually went out with his vehicle he'd probably own a Land Cruiser like the rest of the Portland off-road bros
You just spat in the face of 90% of full size truck owners, and I'm here for it. Well done good sir/ma'am. Carry on.
I have a F150 for work. Today I towed my 10K trailer for two loads with 4,750lbs and 6,500ln on it. I also drove offroad for around 20 miles. I would love to drive a smaller vehicle. I got the smallest vehicle that I could find the job. It's stock on everything except for some all terrain tires. I still hop in my wife's car to drive around town.
My neighbor has a truck like the one above. He got groceries in it today. He's an pharmacist.
Your neighbor has fantasies about cowboy hats and wheat fields. You use your 1/2 ton properly.
I'm am pretty sure I've hauled more with my little hatchback than this person has with their truck.
To put that thing to shame, I've traveled internationally in a Honda Fit that was packed like a clown car.
I know a guy who got seriously mad that kids drew hearts in the dust on his f350. Sir, if you are concerned about the paint on your vehicle being scratched, sell your truck and get a car.
I'm old enough to remember when trucks were tools and not fashion statements. It's a completely bewildering experience to go to a modern dealership and see the cheapest truck be a $70,000 luxury minivan in a trenchcoat.
