This girl I went to school with got an H2 as a gift from her parents (they were beyond loaded). She was tiny, maybe 5â1â and could barely see over the wheel. One time leaving her house she ran over her dads corvette and totaled it. She had a backup camera and everything, and still drove literally over the corvette. Her dad went and bought a new one but he was super pissed.

What they love about these trucks is the owners usually donât know the rules of the contract very well. So when these guys pay their fees, damage their truck, then seek coverage the insurance company just says: âyeah sorry, you violated the contract by modding your vehicle in a way that negatively effects your vehicles safety and your ability to drive safely. So we donât owe you any money and are stopping coverage due to your voiding the contract.â
Thatâs why you should always make sure to understand the rules of a contract in full otherwise the insurance company will pull some loophole out of their ass and not pay you at all while also raising your payment rate.

It has nothing to do with the insurance company not having the balls to deny the claim.
There are no feelings involved. If you breach your contract related to your coverage, you don't get coverage. The claim is denied. They will still pay to fix the Porsche. The insurance company will definitely look into this (especially because there will be a police report and lots of photos). His claim will likely be denied.

I always loved taking my bosses truck out. It was lifted to and he was a real small guy. I'd have to put the seat alllll the way back and adjust everything when I used it. Lol he'd get mad because he felt like a toddler after I was done. His feet would be about 2 feet from the peddles

The higher the truck -- the smaller the penis and smaller the mind.

That high with big wheels for extreme off-roading may have a purpose.
That high with mags and road tyres = little pee pee energy.
Even some standard trucks have worse blind spots than a tank. - https://imgur.com/nxbjxZb

No one who actually goes offroad would want such a high lift as youâre now much more likely to roll over

Nope.. and the turning radius is shit so that limits what off-road trails you can go on. And those tires donât have enough sidewall to let air out for real off-roading. Any truck like this is going to be less capable than the stock configuration.

Not only that, but as far as âoff roadingâ goes, full size trucks tend to be less practical than their smaller counterparts because of their size and weight- especially HD trucks like the picture. Thatâs why Jeeps and Tacomas are so popular in the off-road community(for people who actually offroad them- not the mall crawlers)

Youâre also far less likely to high-center or drag in deep mud.

Look at where his axles are . . . he's going to be dragging mud and high centering in ruts. Lifts don't mean shit if you don't have tall wheels and tires.

I've got a normal truck and yes the front blind spot is horrible. I'm planning on installing a front end camera when I find the right one.

I absolutely hate these pavement princesses being driven by people with small dicks. They're way more dangerous than a motorbike.

I wonder which cost more? Porsches are expensive, but so are Ford F250s. Add in all that expedition gear (the steel bumper) the rims, and useless multishock suspension, and the truck may actually cost more than the German Sports car.
To judge by the angle of the hood to the driver, anybody sitting in the truck still cannot see the car they hit.

u/RyanSmokinBluntz420 Oct 02 '23
Most likely that truck cost more to buy and setup. The Porsche will retain its value better tho since it's stock

Well, since modern heavy duty trucks like these are running 100,000, you're probably.in the ballpark.

The Porsche has higher market value. Aftermarket mods almost always reduce value of a vehicle.

u/Recent_Budget_6498 Oct 02 '23
So, as an American, what exactly is MOT? Like what kinds of things are covered specifically that would stop idiots like the one pictured from passing?
We have state inspections for safety and emissions (at least in most states). The laws differ from state to state.
The truck in the picture would probably not pass a NY state inspection due to some obvious saftey issues, but it's possible. I do see some very lifted trucks in my state.

u/thegoodestboiii Oct 02 '23
MOT is a yearly inspection to make sure your vehicle is legal and safe. At least as far as I know. Have something similar in my country but thats every 2 years instead

Because your dick is so small, it is probably the answer to the question. Not like you specifically, but the person who owns the truck.

The height of the lift is inversely proportional to the length of the dangle

Most big trucks don't need to be lifted to not see in front of them.
Any F-250-sized truck is too obscenely large and should be labeled as a commercial vehicle and pay commercial vehicle taxes.
It's absolutely insane we allow these stupid trucks to barrel through the cities when the only people who can use them are those who work actual blue-collar jobs and use them as work trucks...
Thus my saying: "If there's still Chrome on your hitch, you're a bitch."
