This beast of a truck has been parked near my studio almost every day lately. It's absolutely enormous. I think it belongs to one of the guys that work in the establishment next door. Sigh. I will never understand why anyone would want a vehicle like this. It's just so.... obnoxious. Truly, it boggles the mind. But I won't bore you by repeating myself -- you can read my feelings about ridiculously macho-fied trucks in THIS post from July of 2009.

I agree.
Pickup trucks have their uses and for decades all the work of pickups was done by 1/2 ton, two wheel drive trucks.
I'll bet the headlights on this truck are higher than they'd be on a Kenworth. With the tires extending past the fenders you don't want to be anywhere near this truck on a wet road, it would send spray all over.
In short, it's inconsiderate to drive a truck like this.
That's funny Tamera, because I always say the same thing when I see one of these monsters!
Totally agree with you Wayne! And Lois, you know where I'm coming from :) Let's not even start on the carbon footprint thing. OMG I can't even imagine the mileage.
I think it's an ego thing or maybe he just wants people to be aware of him coming down the road so they won't hit him. Who knows.
Too big for me too !
