US cars in Europe 🤦🏻‍♂️

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 80 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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.

Honestly the ranger is too big as well IMO, even alongside obnoxiously oversized cars like the GLE and Q5 it looks kinda ridiculous. Could possibly throw the mitsubishi L200 in there too

I agree. A vast majority of trucks in the US never see any time off road or even towing. They do dumb stuff like this Ranger is doing.

He’s off road - what more do you want?!

I don't understand this bricks with wheels.

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

[–] silkroadtraveler@lemmy.today 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Definitely some idiot redneck soldier stationed in Hohenfels, Rammstein or Schweinfurt.

Nah wrong license plate

It should be KL, NEW, AS, or BIR.
