I just don't understand how can people enjoy driving this boat. You see nothing, parking is a nightmare and what benefits do you get?

Police can't see you have gay sex with prostitutes, it's why they jack up the suspension. Tell everyone.

Make pee pee feel big

Out of town they're pretty nice to drive to be fair. Wide and long wheelbase = great on highway, tons of clearance = shouldn't be too worried about getting gravel dings on a dirt road compared to a low car.

But of course most of them are driven around town mostly, where there's literally no benefit to the size unless you're trying to score a gouranga. You don't get the seating capacity of a large SUV and unlike a van your back's open so good luck storing anything there without getting it stolen when parked unless you get a cover for the bed, in which case why didn't you just get an SUV that lets you switch between extra seats and cargo space?

On the plus side, you never see them in places with difficult parking.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

You do. They just use more than one parking space or partially block the road/sidewalk

[-] matlag@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Nah, they just use 2 or more spots, or block part of the way.

in placea with actually difficult parking, no

but you do see them blocking shit nearby. and making places perfectly normal but slightly tight parking absolutely terrible to navigate through because they jammed a boat into the small parking lot and blocked half the lane

Everyone i ever knew who drove these things is just because they can and how manly and loud it is.

They like the idea of everyone looking at them longingly. What they don’t realize is everyone is looking at their abhorrent vehicle.

Because it makes small PP look large. Very big. Get many women.
