My neighbors GMC Denali parked illegally in front of a stop sign and crosswalk, next to my other neighbors Mazda Miata

Trucks should NOT be this tall, if you get into an accident with this asshole he's gonna walk away and you're going to the morgue.

You get the sense that petrol is too cheap in the US

I work on a building sites here in Ireland,can someone tell me why use this? It's like a van but less good in every way

I guarantee that the mx-5 has carried more passengers and more cargo then that truck ever has or will.

its owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.

To me, it's more a case of the owner feeling entitled to do this. They have the (likely easier and much cheaper) option of buying a vehicle that's appropriate to the primary environment they'll be operating it in, and chose not to. This isn't compulsion, it's just another in a chain of selfish decisions.

It sounds like the "vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living" is a self solving problem as long as the police actually enforces traffic regulations: if people chosing excessivelly large vehicle for the environment were they live keep on getting repeatedly fined because such vehicles in such environments "pressure their owners to continually break traffic law" they'll chose differently.

This is probably part of the reason why such vehicles are very rare in European cities: in such places it's even more likely that they have to break the law to park such a vehicle (smaller cities and parking space) and were the police is probably more likely to enforce such laws with a stern hand (in some countries fines even grow proportionally to one's income), especially in some countries were it's far more common for people to simply phone the police to denounce a vehicle parked in a way that outrageously breaks the rules.

These vehciles should be banned for personal use and only allow businesses to buy them. That will reduce the amount of morons doong shit like this

Wow, crazy. I'm not sure that would be allowed on the road here in the UK. How do you see where you're going when you're driving? How do you get in?

im just always thinking about how does this huge ass vehicle park in a big city

It's crazy how many micro penisses there are in the US, seeing the amount of penis-size-compensators on the road.

Compelled? Compelled??

i've got dozen++ neighbors with that kinda vehicle.

I guess some people are scared to drive in the USA without covering every inch of themselves in steel, fake carbon fiber, and Truck Nutz.

I wish the TÜV and Dekra were inspecting vehicles, using German standards, in the USA.

Email your council people. Ive done it before and they've made them move it.

But it's OK because half of his family are cops.

I have never met a Denali driver that isn't an outright cunt.

Without the Child killer 9000 to not be able to see anyone under 7 feet tall who might be in their path, how is Bob gonna take his kids to school?

The fuck is wrong with people? This is why we need the big press machine that turns cars into a cube.

Miata is always the answer.

In this case, the question would have been - which one of these cars would not survive an accident with the other?

Now imagine both on a highway and the Miata rear-ending the truck. In EU underride guards are mandatory, but in the US... I'm not sure.

Denali neighbor must have a small dick.

I bet PPB doesn't mind, if they were called about it they'd be like high fiving the owner like "hell yeah brother that's how we do it in Battle Ground fuck these Portland libs!"

One of my coworkers has something like this, big ass 150 thats bigger than our parking spaces that fit 12 seater vans. He's got 4 kids, lives in town and regularly complains about struggling to pay bills. No shit dumbass all your money is tied up in liabilities and he takes any excuse to skip work he can get.

I just wish we could return late 1800 transportation methods.. like soo roads are obnoxiously too long.

Why isn't he compelled to park down a mineshaft? Lots of room down there.

You could ALMOST Christmas Vacation that Miata under the Denali.

Lentils may well be helpful in this situation also.

What the fuck is a Miata? That's an MX-5

Everything’s bigger in texa… err. Portland?

I literally insult the drivers of these every time i see them engaging in menacing behavior (most always) and challenge them to a fight once they’ve been shucked of their prosthesis. I’ve been threatened with a gun a couple times but never have gotten the fight they seem to be looking for. This is what cowards drive.

wow that overlook neighborhood you're in is especially bad to have a brodozer like that in. I bet the asshole bought a foreclosure from a displaced Black family, what with how the area has been brutally gentrified

I wonder if vinegar in the bed would attract some flies

I disagree. While my truck is not ridiculously high, it is as long. I can park it almost anywhere, legally. I have parallel parked it on busy streets with ease. That truck owner is just an entitled prick who needs to learn how to park.

One of your neighbors is hung like a field mouse. Which it is is left as an exercise for the reader.

put a note on the windshield: "please take care to better manage your genders affirming vehicle."

Where I live the speed has recently been reduced from 30 mph to 15 mph in an effort to make the area more livable. Roads have been narrowed with more room for trees, sidewalks and bike paths. As well as artificial choke points and high speed bumps, all in an effort to improve life for the people living there. This is done alongside an effort to create larger high speed roads around the area and push cars to use those, which are the long way around but since they are higher speed still faster.

However fucking idiots driving these huge trucks can just go across the speed bumps at 45 mph and they rush all the choke point no matter if they have the right of way or not. When such a huge thing comes rushing at you, you move out of the way. They also regularly cut across parts where cars aren't supposed to go. For example tight corners where the side walk is lower so larger delivery trucks and busses can still make the corner by cutting across the side walk a bit. Regular cars are supposed to just drive around them and in a regular car the kerb will make sure people don't normally do that. The big trucks however use them all the time as they don't even notice the kerb.

Since car brains experience the efforts to slow everything down as obstacles to overcome, more and more choose to drive these huge trucks and drive any speed and route they want. This actually goes against all the efforts to make the area better for pets, bicycles and people.

We desperately need max weight and size limits for cars.

Why does GMC Denali, the largest one, not simply eat the other one?

If your truck is that clean, you should not have a truck.

Luxury pickups are such a stupid class of vehicle.

The thing about America is that it's full of loud, obnoxious assholes who do not take kindly to you if you point out the fact that they're assholes (even subtly and without using that verbiage).

I'm not 100% on board with the whole "fuck cars" thing but fuck that truck's owner sideways.

Denali is a trim level not a model, that’s a Sierra 2500 HD.

The Denali badge is just an extra “fuck you, look at my money” on top of the everything else going on here.

GMC will not stop until the Miata can drive right under it.

MIYATAAAAAA

🥹😌🥹😌🥹😌

If it’s any consolation I’m pretty sure the GMC Denali engines are straight up killing themselves for no reason, so the owner is probably due for some karma.

Why post here instead of calling traffic/parking enforcement?

That truck gives off a lot of small peen energy.

Wow, that’s quite the small dick energy.

Construction foam

I hope you report(ed) it.

This is rage inducing.

I read a book once that I feel would be an interesting one for you. The title was something to do with ecodefense and monkeywrenching from what I recall.
