      These cars look weird on american roads. Over here they look absolutely ridiculous and everyone riding them should benlaughed at. There is a guy who lives near me with a lifted truck with all the redneck swag like a confederat flag and funny stickers like: only gay cops pull me over and how much better a v8 is. I’d be embarrassed beyond believe if someone made me drive that thing.

        I saw someone at my local tip in a ram1500. It looked ridiculous.
        I’m there unloading rubble from my city car, and the guy is pulling twigs out of the blanket covered truck bed.

      That’s just the Ranger, which was a Euro designed truck before the US got it back.

      The F150 is another foot wider.

        With personal plates. You want these in Europe, but they don’t belong in shopping center parking lots.

    One of the 4 lane streets in my city got the extra lanes turned into bike lanes. Not just painted, they’re raised up from the car lane, and then further raised for the sidewalk, proper curbs between each mode of travel. Absolutely fantastic.

    PEOPLE NOW PARK IN THE BIKE LINE ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

    There is no parking along this street, but since the businesses and apartment buildings need vehicle access there are extra wide sections of sidewalk, marked specifically for stopping with a motor vehicle in a way that doesn’t completely block bikes or pedestrians.

    Drivers will still stop in the bike lane RIGHT GODDAMN NEXT TO THESE.

    Drivers are slowly wising up to it, but I still have to veer onto the car lane about once a commute to round a car neatly blocking the bike lane.

    Obviously not Spain, here we need your two flashing “parking lights” going and you can park w h e r e v e r you want.

    …apparently

        I’ve always wanted a beanie with two flashing orange lights, so I can put it on and sit on the hood of cars parking illegally while flashing their hazard lights. If they ask/tell me to move, I’ll just reply “it’s okay, I’ve got my parking lights on” and remain sitting on the hood for another few minutes. One day.

      That’s universal. In college I always carried packets of ketchup or mayo to put on car door handles when people left their cars unattended in no parking zones. 4 ways on, of course.

      We call them dickhead lights here, because they indicate someone is being (or about to be) a dickhead

    The exact same thing happened to me yesterday lmao. I was biking to the bus station and I just see a stupid ram taking half the bike path. Not even sure why these are allowed to be imported, should be plain illegal.

    If it ain’t big enough to take up 5 parking spots, isn’t tall enough to where I can’t see a 6 foot tall person directly in front of my vehicle, I don’t want to drive it because I’ll feel like a sissy girl and not a man!

    ~ The foreigner American I assume drives that vehicle
