500excf type r posted:that f150 can hold ~3x more I'm not so sure. Thats a Ford F150 with the extended passenger compartment - note the 4 full size doors (the rear doors are not reverse hinged, they are normal car doors). That bed is on the shorter size, either the shortest - 5.5 feet, or the middle length, 6.5 feet, and 50.5 (4.2 feet) inches wide. I do not care about depth, because they make these things called cargo straps. A Kei truck typically has a bed length of 6.7 feet, and 4.6 ft wide. Maybe I made up all of these numbers, or maybe modern trucks are absolute garbage that are only status symbols rarely used for their intended purpose. Of course, towing capacity varies wildly between these two, but Pepe Silvia Browne posted:it won't tho In conclusion, gently caress cars. edit: and if you mean 3x weight - then yes, I concede. Kei truck can haul 770 lbs, while the manly F150 can haul 2,200 or so, more if it has the huge bed. Of course, you could afford a swarm of kei trucks for the price of one of Ford monstrosities. edit 2. what a terrible top of the page. In gently caress car news, I'm shopping for a pannier for my bike, so I can be less sweaty and haul more cargo, so if any one has suggestions, do that.

i recently got a little cargo tricycle and just returned from riding it to the grocery store. obviously the 98 degree (37C) heat isn't super comfortable but with the wind in your face from motion it's really not that bad. anyway my verdict is: three wheels good.

God im so loving tired of closecalls. Was walking across a 4 lane and a bunch of other pedestrians were in the cross walk at a walk light and someone just gunned their car through the red. I screamed at them, ineffective I know, but loving christ can I just have like 1 loving day where a driver doesn't do some insane poo poo like that?

last night i was sitting on my porch with my wife and our dog, enjoying a quiet thunderstorm when suddenly - BANG! yet another t-bone collision at the intersection which should be a four-way stop. Everyone was okay - of course the driver who blew through his stop sign and drove directly into oncoming traffic's first words when exiting his car were not "I'm so sorry!" or "are you okay?" but "I STOPPED!" bro if you stopped, your car wouldn't have plowed into another car. that's what being stopped means, it means you're not moving.

Driver runs over and kills a six year old riding his bike while talking on the phone after running a stop sign, and it takes a year to charge her https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/wom...JC5BVYXXOD3UJU/ quote:Wood left the courtroom surrounded by family and her attorney had no comment. But in court, he said, “Not every accident is criminal.”

That makes your heart stop. So brazen. So who's fault is it? The government who didn't regulate? The company who didn't care? The sidewalk, parking lot designer? Capitalism? There's a long list before it gets to the driver who is guilty. Why did the car exist in the first place?

All the causal poo poo is just placing the gun in someone's hands, but you still charge the guy that pulled the trigger.

Real hurthling! posted:poop in the back I was discussing with a friend why there are so few pickups in the uk. he said because everything in the bed would be stolen immediately, and then then bed would fill with leaves and rainwater. your post made me realise people would definitely bag their dog poo poo and then drop it into the next pickup truck, that would 100% be normal if there were pickups here.

Everyone was okay - of course the driver who blew through his stop sign and drove directly into oncoming traffic's first words when exiting his car were not "I'm so sorry!" or "are you okay?" but "I STOPPED!" lol thanks for the flashback two houses and 20 years ago I lived at the corner of a 4-way stop that people absolutely could not stop for had one of them fancy cordless phones (not cellular) and every time we heard the SSSSSSSSKKKKKKIIIIID *CRUNCH* we'd sigh and take it out to them to call for a tow/ambulance/daddy/whatever it happened ludicrously often. 4-5 times a month and that's just when I was home to deal with it. I often came home to find fresh car spoor on the intersection. Maybe a fallen headlamp, sometimes they molted a bumper or hubcap. someone somehow managed to go underneath the rear of a schoolbus from the side. Bro, how did you not see the gigantic yellow sheet metal wall in front of you? never had to deal with any fatalities at least but jesus. there's a loving daycare nearby too, how nobody managed to tbone someone and crush an infant i have no loving clue. it's not even a thru-street! it was narrow and treelined and everything about the design screamed 'hey go slow here there's not a lot of room' but people did it anyway

wasn't the red baron WW1 germany? can't remember. oh i forgot to give an update on my friends house that had their bedroom turned into a makeshift garage by a drunk driver They've got some new "decorative" boulders between their house and the road, and the wall they had to replace is no longer hollow cinderblock, it's rebar-reinforced concrete filled cinderblocks anchored into a deeper foundation. and they still sleep in the livingroom on drinking holidays. yay, car.
