What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there’s a decal that reads “Apocalypse 6x6.”
You must log in or register to comment.
“what is that thing” that is manifestation of parental lack of attention and affirmation.
Not enough people talking about Christmas Aslan over there behind the truck.
Truck costs more than the house. . and will probably be repo’d within 3 years.
Looks like an armored Rezvani Hercules 6x6.
These are $$$ in general:
But they’re also driveable in SnowRunner for much less money.
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.
Could be shit quality or some critical flaw, where you look at it and go wow so cool I’ve more money than brains, buy it, and then realize it’s bad, drop the price, and hope some sucker will buy it.
I’m betting on it not being street legal and/or something has a very short life for some poorly engineered reason.
Bold to assume that this thing would still drive after the apocalypse, when you don’t have the fuel, tools, spare parts and access to the manufacturers service manuals for authorized repair shops.
This is what the Merryweather assholes in GTA chase you in.
You know what the first thing I think whenever I see a guy driving a large truck?
The first thing to be abandoned as soon as the highways fill up with stalled/crashed/flooded cars.
Holy crap, I saw that thing at the airport. Pavement princesses are not really my thing.
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.
big tungsten cube
Tbf if you can afford this thing you can probably almost afford a big tungsten cube…
I’d rather have two cubes and a vehicle that doesn’t reek of midlife crisis.
Two cubes?!
Hey everyone I found Jeff Bezos’ lemmy acct. You seen the tungsten prices lately?!
They didn’t say how big the cube has to be. You can get tungsten dice from games workshop (but don’t).
It is a jeep gladiator.
Holy shit. It is, isn’t it? Perfect!
Maybe it’s for
when the liberal woke mob antifa cannibals hurl a spear through one of the back tires so you still have backup tires. . .er. . . “Towing”Lmao.
Theirs a dealer/fabrication company in Ft.Lauderdale FL that makes these, I don’t recall the name as it was on holiday once.
After driving through those highways, it’s really mad-max out there. I can see why you’d want one of these.
Well, at least it’s not a cybertruck
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.
Jesus not even a 3500? Basically always towing its limit carrying the added weight of all that bullshit.
oh jesus, The transmission probably fell out in the driveway just from the attention from reddit.
Older rams had a trans that would absolutely break or grenade itself. New rams, as much as their engine and electronics still suck ass, have a ZF Transmission and it’s REALLY good. Dead reliable and holds power.
It’s worse. At least the cyber truck is electric so they’re not belching out gas.
I’m also curious about WTF is going on on his lawn.
WTF is that wedding arch doing there?
WTF are those giant balls?
WTF is a fake lion doing there?
WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?
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.
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.
Just… drive a train at this point. There’s nothing more badass than a train.
spoiler
That looks like a Russian military transport for use in the Arctic circle.
NGL that pic you shared looks bad ass!
Funny thing is, it’s definitely real as it’s on a public display, but nobody knows who built it and, most importantly, why they built it. There are numerous equally plausible yet contradicting legends, some people tried to investigate but results were inconclusive, possibly because there were multiple built completely independently, or because it was a top secret project and intelligence planted red herrings. Maybe some vodka drinking took place. But, one thing that is common amongst most legends is that it couldn’t steer for shit, hence why it was scrapped.
Tap for spoiler
that’s a bus
Made from an actual train by the looks of it
It has a built in magnifier to see the driver’s penis/ clitoris.
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
Yeah like, who wouldn’t wanna drive a Warthog or a giant construction vehicle?
But I think the line where it gets douchey is “I commute every day with this thing, it belches out tons of fumes, and I bully everyone else off the road because I’m secretly scared of all my neighbors.”
So how much petrol/uranium this things consumes per 100km
The tank is probably empty by the time it gets to the end of the street.
That kinda looks sick. I love cars that aren’t just stock standard stuff.
How dare you have an opinion different from mine.
Down vote!!
(I wasn’t the down voter)
