The petrosexual male, who can only get sexual aroused by loud rumbling engines and black sooty exhaust. It's a well known fact they have lost the ability to get it up for a woman a long time ago. Be very careful when entering they're garage as you can find many fluids in the floor, and not all are from the vehicle.

Can't blame them when they decided to marry the largest right wing woman they could find.

"You want me to wear a flashlight to bed? Huh, this looks like those lights on your truck. And why is your phone making that engine noise? Is that SOOT in the humidifier?!"

So many lightbars...my god. This is someone that hates people.

Your username. Delightful!

[–] Redditsucks1@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I bet they didn't even upgrade or install a second alternator.

[–] nothing@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

But I hate people without doing this. Help!

Ah the "I think being an asshole is a personality" person

I'm really glad I live in a place where this driver would get a big fine the first time they're stopped, and most likely get their vehicle impounded if they were seen more than a few days later with the lights still attached.

(EDIT: Anyone complaining that they need this many are lying or they have very low intelligence. If you need this llevel of light, you have a generator and actual lights in the back of the truck. If you need one or two of the huge ones for actual work, you'd have covers for them, which makes it legal again(since you'd have to stop the car and get out to turn them on, and can't just flick them on while driving since that is a deadly hazard to others))

Switches light bars on, battery shrivels up like an old balloon.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's no problem, he can hook it up to some spare batteries on the passenger seat. It's not like anybody's going to be sitting there

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's one of these on my street :(

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it hard to resist the urge to fuck with it?

[–] LazaroFilm@artemis.camp 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would so just tape cheap IKEA LED bars on the hood of my Prius and park next to it.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would be tempted to surreptitiously add more and more lights to their truck over a period of months. Maybe a bar light at first, but eventually it would devolve into christmas lights, old lightbulbs, etc. It'd be hard to pull off but worth it IMO.

This might be illegal in your area. Might be worth a non emergency call to the cops and let them know the owner always flashes the houses around at midnight not letting people sleep.

[–] nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on where they live cause the cops might be these same people

No-one can convince me this person doesn't have brain damage due to lead poisoning.

My buddy is a general contractor and actually does need a truck for his job. Ironically he has a really hard time finding one with a large enough bed for what he needs anymore. Most of the trucks being built now are designed with hauling groceries home from the Costco in mind, not hauling lumber and sheets of drywall.

[–] dragoness@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My brother is in the market for a truck. He wants it to actually put things in the back of it, specifically a motorcycle.

I know that there are trucks out there that have beds big enough, there has to be, but holy moly it's like every truck bed is made for 3 grocery bags and a 6 pack. I can haul more in the back of my GTI then some of these trucks out here. When the hell did they turn so useless??

If I have to hook up a trailer to carry most things what's the point of a truck

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Last year I bought a truck with an 8ft bed. Its very unusual to see a single cab long bed truck that's as new as mine (2012) without it being someone's fleet truck, in fact, it's the only one I've seen for sale locally. The next cheapest truck was twice the price, had twice the miles, but it also had a 4 door cab and a little 5 foot bed. It's apparently what most people want.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get short bed trucks at all. If you can't lay down in it it's not a bed. You're better off with a station wagon in 95% of situations.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or a minivan. You can load a lot into a Dodge caravan that has the seats removed or folded up.

[–] nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also has the mirrors on trailer extension so pavement princess can look bigger but they never connect a trailer

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And if they do pull a trailer, it's 20 under the speed limit in the passing lane.

Not enough light bars, hard pass.

[–] nothing@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Light bars are expensive! I'll take what I can get from conquest.

The larger the exhaust the more things they like in their butt

Rims are too narrow

I drive a Unimog to prove my penis is small but prehensile.
