It's genuinely insane that anyone is allowed to put that on a road

I've never seen anything this ridiculous in person, but I've seen plenty of dumb trucks. Things like maybe lift kits and low profile tires, wheels kicked out to the side...so setup for off-road but with zero grip, shit turning radius, wobbles on the highway, and also shit for towing.

The one that kills me is $80k trucks in the trailer park. Spend your money how you want, but it seems crazy to have a rapidly depreciating vehicle that's worth more than your home.

There must me an easier way to prove how big your dick is.

Trailers aren't cheap either. The park here has unremarkable units, not even new, in the 60-80k range. Almost a decade ago the lot rent fees were already over 500 a month, and they don't even do any lawn care or snow removal.

they are probably taking huge loans, thats why they are living in trailer parks.
