Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid’s heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

The perfect height to deliver devastating head and chest injuries. It’s almost like they deliberately designed this thing to kill kids.
Not to mention it’s so high up and the hood is so massive, you can’t see the ground for like 10 feet in front of it.
And 30lb e-scooters that can fit under your desk are the problem! /s
In all seriousness, is it any wonder why pedestrians get murdered at crosswalks? The drivers of those tanks can’t see anything below the dash!
That’s either a pregnant lady who is too old to be pregnant, or a kid wearing his backpack the wrong way.
It’s a bumbag but worn over the shoulder because somebody found a new way to sell all their leftover early 90s stock to kids.
Is it really just for kids?
I quite like my small crossbody pouches, they are nice to have when you don’t need a backpack but also don’t want to walk around with your pockets stuffed.
Granted, mine are all designed to be worn across the body and not just a fanny pack with a longer strap.
At this point in my life “kids” is everyone below about 30.
I suppose that makes me a kid then :)
I’ll try to take it as a compliment
Ha. I ride a bicycle. Never need to stop at intersections or signal my turns anymore.
Luckily the Idaho stop / yield laws are being adopted by more states now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop#Legality_by_US_state). I’ve also experienced motor vehicles yield to my bicycle even when they arrive earlier at an intersection if they’re not in a rush, which is nice.
After getting in one too many contact incidents with cars I ended up getting one of those bicycle helmets with turn signals and found that drivers yield more often to me with turn signal lights that when I used hand signals. As if it’s subconscious for them to pay attention to flashing turn signal lights but not hand signals.
A kid could be taken out with a bicycle. Why do you train your kid to walk that close to vehicles? Do you also give them pointy objects to stab into outlets?
Oh, why didn’t anyone else think of that! Tens of thousands of kids get injured this way per year, why don’t they just stop getting injured? Are they stupid?
Are they stupid?
Well yes, but that’s besides the point here.
2013 VW Golf 2.0 TDI. Although I’ve not driven it since February due to a complaint with the financial ombudsman service as it’s evident I have a blown head gasket which was causing me issues from buying it used.
Now have a 35 mile each way trip on the Metrolink and train to work. Luckily Incan WFH three days a week.
I drive a Gazelle.
bruh… a used kid
But can we talk about how comically awful those tiny-ass wheels look that raised truck
Looney-toons-ahh-truck, smh
Technically they aren’t that badly sized. You don’t want the whole wheel well filled with the tire, it needs room to move around. If they were ever to go offroading they would have plenty of room without their tires scraping against the body of the truck, although this pavement princess probably never sees dirt.
This morning I was driving to work and I saw off in the distance something moving behind an F250 truck. As I got closer and got to see the back, I realized it was the owner of the truck offloading tools at the worksite. He was on the shorter side, true, but a fully grown man completely hidden by the box of the truck.
Used kid?
Used for the photo. Also, he’s not brand new. The new ones cry a lot.
They don’t make kids like they used to. Can you imagine that a brand new kid in 2024 is much shorter than this 10 year old used kid!
A brand new kid, in this economy?!
I used to live on a farm without trash pickup, so she got a good bit of work done. Not longer on the farm since my parents passed, but didnt have the courage to trade her in since it was my moms favorite vehicle.
Still get the occasional full load since I’m a big dude with a truck. Makes me feel good helping out people with small cars.
Reminds me of the safety flags we used to have to attach to our Big Wheels so that drivers could see us.
Lexus RX450h Advance
It’s not big big, but still big enough to fall into the SUV class, and certainly quite big for the tiny roads in the UK
picrel isn’t mine, but is very similar
what’s the mileage on it?
