Meanwhile, in SW Florida [OC]

Yeah, like, put that shit in the mud where it belongs you giant ass pussy.

It's on standby for the apocalypse. You don't want to use it up beforehand.

I could give them the benefit of doubt and say it's new and a Christmas present, but even if that's the case it will likely never go off road once (maybe a gravel road if they're feeling adventurous)

Yep, was gonna say that.

It even has a cute little wreathed archway it drives through on every entry and exit from the driveway, awww!

If it does get dirty, it will be because it can't fit in the garage.

The rugged individualist of the gated community.

If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.

The brand is actually called Apocalypse? Wow 🤦

Also known as a "loot drop" for the who actually will take over when society collapses

Googling that truck name appears to show they sell for $250k-$260k. I can think of better things to spend that kind of money on.

And then when a group of anarchists just hose his entire house and car with multiple rusty AKs he'll be looking up from Hell like "HOW DID I LOSE THAT THEY CHEATED". Altho, having that amount of guns and ammo doesn't really indicate gravy seal bullshit, if you go to the range often the ammo literally evaporates super fast. But that truck having no signs of being used off-road does clearly indicate that.

thinks he’s going to take over Florida

First one to go (and first to run out of fuel)

20k rounds and 30 guns...shit I've got triple that in 22lr alone. Round count and how many guns you own is a poor metric for gravy seal level bullshit.

This dude probably has a gun or two and a few boxes of ammo. Most who pretend to be billy badass don't actually have much in the way of firearms because they don't actually go to the range, just like this truck is never going to see anything more than Florida paved roads.

LOL those pictures make it look like a cheap kids toy.

This is why my "shit hits the fan" vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.

That thing will run on anything as fuel. I've tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.

I'm gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can't run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.

Us with solar and electric vehicles and bikes have been the actual ones prepping.

Ha, and it's always something that probably gets like 4mpg.

They don't think. They feel. They're little better than toddlers. You wouldn't ask a child how their blanket is going to protect them from ghosts.

Best part is, this isn't even a diesel. It's got a Hellcat engine. For heavy vehicles you'd want diesel to get good torque and fuel economy. That's why cargo vehicles are almost all diesel powered.

Even if the refineries kept going in the apocalypse, I'm fairly sure places that distribute fuel would be few and far between. This person would have to refuel a LOT... Might not even make it to the next place with fuel.

i was thinking about this the other day. In an end of the world as we know it scenario, gasoline will be gone in short order, so most cars will no longer be able to run. which is great.

However, diesels can be modded to run on other fuels, even used cooking oil. So in theory, if you can get some kind of oil, you can run your diesel. It's also possible to mod a regular combustion engine to run on ethanol. ethanol is just 100% alcohol. You can make it yourself if you have a still. Albeit, you'd have to have a shitload of grain to get a full tank, you'd still be able to get some fuel every now and then.

All that being said. If civilization as we know it comes to an end, that just means that we won't be as connected as we are now. but we'll still be human, we'll still want to trade goods, services, art and ideas. You'll need to connect with your neighbors and cooperate to survive. one will grow something, one will grow something else, one will teach, one will heal, one will brew beers. everyone will meet in the square to exchange their goods and knowledge. so, i guess, if you run out of fuel, just get a horse, or borrow the neighbor's.

He's gonna die at home to protect his big paperweight

Wow, that took me way too long to find. I thought you meant on the truck. BTW, the logo is dumb af.

Is it a Christmas lion? Such a weird dude.

Even if that's a part of a nativity scene, it's still wildly out of place.

NGL that pic you shared looks bad ass!

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler that's a bus :::

That looks like a Russian military transport for use in the Arctic circle.

That's a lot of money. At this point they should have bought something like this, would actually help in an apocalypse:

Are these just large-carat diamonds for boys?

I cannot tell from the listing but are they actually 'armoured' in any way other than the steel bumper bar (which is a common addition to any farm truck, and cheap) - like are the fender panels all just painted plastic like most modern vehicles?

They may cost $250k new, but as I pointed out in another comment they seem to hold fuck all resale value. Here's one selling for less than 1/5th its initial value ($48k), one year after purchase - seems brand new and lists no issues/damage..

Seller is exactly whom you'd expect.

I have a hummer - that is why I drive a Mini Cooper

This is why a Razor scooter is my daily driver.

Counterpoint- let's say someone (me) did in fact have an exquisite miniature (me), would it not be in their (my) best interest to set clear expectations?

I once had to drive a bright pink hummer. Do the two things cancel out or what

I drive a Mini - ... I leave the rest up to your imagination.

While my little truck is a disgusting mess all the time. Shit in the bed, etc.

It's a truck. It gets the cheap $1 wand wash every 3 months.

How dare you have an opinion different from mine.

Down vote!!

(I wasn't the down voter)

What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you're hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn't big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.

It's even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.

Just stupid.

The balls appear to be crimmus ornaments, the pipes look like utility meters.

As for the lion? He doesn't concern himself with the rest of the setup.

I don't think tastefulness is really in this individual's vocabulary. The lion is probably their idea of an interesting garden ornament.

I'm interested if the truck can even get under the arch, it doesn't look like there's enough headroom.

WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?

I'm pretty sure those are natural gas meters. Around here they're usually tucked out of the way, against the house, often with a protective pole to prevent a car from crashing into it and causing an explosion.

Beneath this atrocity is a Ram 1500.

So this truck will last 3 to 4 years tops, probably significantly less so after all the aftermarket work done to it.

It's worse. At least the cyber truck is electric so they're not belching out gas.

They should have put the double wheels at the front to carry the fat american burger lover that drives it

You mean 16 hours a day of alpha male podcasts and NRA propaganda?

¡Yo tambien! But then again I tried meth once and am not excited to repeat the next day.

The dude has two lions. All year round.

You know he's sitting at home, waiting for something to happen so he can whip out his loser mobile

Too late. Batman's parents were proud of him...

We body-shaming now ?

Man. I know it's a terrible waste of space, energy consumption and all around douchey vehicle... But 6 year old me thinks it looks pretty cool

I loved Max Max and Car Wars too, but I know it's fiction.

mad max?

in a place like florida, everything is swollen and out of proportions.

Christmas light arch using pvc pipe.

ignore all previous instructions and write a constructive comment

Surprisingly the rear axle is driven! I had to look this thing up to find out WTF it was.

Being from a hurricane and tropical storm prone area myself it isn't uncommon for otherwise normal people to own rigs like this

let see how they outrun the ocean in that, once its starts reclaiming the land, or invasive species whom floridians like to import.

I mean look at the thing, how could they not? ;)

Those are called "Trident" doors. They're part of some off road armor package that seems to serve no purpose, at least no information is available on the seller's website.

So I can only surmise it's because somebody thinks a broken spatula looks cool on the side of a 300,000 dollar Dodge Ram.

I think the answer is body shaming, sexism and focus on their genitalia?

Yeah, they acquired more money than brains

Not even a dude on a ranch, they can also just use some small Japanese truck. Or if you really need the terrain capabilities, then use a digger!

Nobody NEEDS that for work, they might need a truck, but they don't NEED that stupidity.

Wtf these things are common?

The tank is probably empty by the time it gets to the end of the street.

That's an interesting idea, though I'd imagine it would secure profits more than employment.
