AWKWARD!!

[Viking2002]

That was Win 98, all right. That 'truck' looks like some personal amphibious landing craft for people with more disposable money than sense. Now, here was a truck (representative, of course): a 1998 Ford F-150 extended cab three-door, bought it with all the trimmings. Sport package, 5 speed manual with cruise control, premium sound, gold velour cloth interior with woodgrain trim, split bench seats with an armrest you could smuggle a family of Mexicans in, full bedliner, ABS toolbox, lots of goodies. If the dealer hadn't screwed us on the warranty after fixing a faulty harmonic balancer twice, we'd probably still own it. It was as comfy and roomy as a Caddy, and was a dream to drive. We'd do 750 mile road trips in it with two Dachshunds roaming free-range inside, and it was like being in your living room.

Ark II’s pickup truck.

I’m surprised that old shoe hasn’t been resuscitated due to climate change nonsense.

It’s one of those cars that looks really cool when you first see it, and after a while it looks like a volkswagen kit car. :)

What the max weight one can put in that bed?
Thing looks flimsy.
What’s the mileage with weight in it?

what a chore it would be to clean bird poo off the back windows.

LOL....... Back to the future....

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature!

...

And it’s a great way for the truck to get free publicity.

It’s similar to President Trump misspelling a word so a Tweet gets massive coverage.

No wheel wells.

Thing about ballistic glass is that it does that with the outer layers on all of it. It’s designed to stop bullets, this demo was stupid because had it just been a think Plexiglas that ball bearing would have done nothing, but a bullet would go right through. This is the exact opposite spectrum is all.

[Balding_Eagle]

The ugly design is a reflection of where society is today.

There will be a lot of takers.

[SkyDancer]

The sound was okay, the picture was like looking through steamed glass. I’ve never had any problems with Youtube.

What are your results?

The modern PT Barnum is at it again.

Someone here put up a thread about this truck earlier on and he was having an orgasm about it, saying put up the 100 to get in line or you’ll miss out.

Oh well :)

Mine are 12p 93d 87u and that is on a VPN over WIFI

Mine are spectacular. ;-)

I could pay a few more bucks and get 10 times that but there are no servers that serve up that fast. Those are close to lan speed over the internet.

All of your speed tests are better than the LAN that I am on (I just checked).

Apparently Elon was unhappy Ford beat him to the punch with the absolutely Abominable Mach-E and had to prove he could make an even uglier vehicle!

In a span of one week the Pontiac Aztek has fallen from it's decades long perch at #1 to #3 in the list of ugliest vehicles ever made.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

That is funny... really really funny.

[ßuddaßudd]

why would a truck need bulletproof glass ¿?
I asked for transparent aluminum by the way..

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Would be very big for drug dealing hood rats.
