    Yeah. An ex coworker of mine deemed it necessary to drive such a wankpanzer in our medium-sized german city over the astonishing distance of 5 kilometres to/from work.

        Those are even legal in Europe? Some dude imported one here, as an impulse buy, as he had won a large money prize on Euro Millions, and it had the nastiest of ends, as he jammed the thing between two building in a narrow street. The car was cut to pieces on the spot, to be removed. The rumour mill spoke of nearly 75.000€ to the trash.

          I saw a bunch in the Netherlands (in smaller towns and villages) and a few in Czechia.

          NL has supposedly cracked down on the tax loophole which made these attractive to b entrepreneurs (something about imported vehicles), so hopefully we start seeing less of them over time.

            I think you think this thread is talking about the cybertruck but they're just talking about regular pick up trucks.

              You barely see any pick up trucks in Europe (or at least in Austria). I know like one or two farmers who have one and that's it.

              People who like big cars buy SUVs here.

                Unfortunately I do see them (a bit) in the Netherlands... Something them being a tax loophole for entrepreneurs (but they're supposedly closing it). Definitely niche though, indeed the emotional support vehicles are the big German SUVs...

                  I always see it as him unknowingly showing solidarity for the African community

                    How does a human skin turn green? Is he so old and expired that fungus is forming under that?

                    My first thought that he put some really bad makeup on his hand...

                      He's permanently a person for a very very long randomly sized amount of time that is shorter than 100years and longer than 1 second. It could be a heart condition or covid in a week or next year on good Friday. Who knows. But it won't be 100 more. My guess is 5 to 10 more. He'll be litigating the entire time.

                        So Ford gets taxed while the “import” brand doesn’t. Another well thought out policy by this administration. My “foreign” car was built in Alabama.

                        They just need a metric to wave in the face of their very stupid voter base. If they don’t get any, they’ll make some up. They absolutely do not care if this policy successfully results in the stated intended effect.
