I had a giant metal ladder fall off of the top of a work van and come right at my windshield while I was driving to my own wedding. i barely braked in time, but it had some serious Final Destination vibes. All things considered, I still think that the scariest thing that day was the final bill for the wedding.

good that it worked out at the end. otherwise might have been the worst day of of your wife’s life instead of the best. I’m quiet happy with my weddings Bill. we needed an official interpreter, because we have different mother tongues, which was like 100€ and that’s it.

We got pushed into having the large wedding that our parents wanted and what we were told we were “supposed to do”. Though it was beautiful, we both regret it. You are being much smarter about it.

I strap my shit good. This is pre-tie down. Plus I was just going a couple blocks in town.

I thought the roof was attached to the truck and it was like a mobile hangout

I wanted to get one of those tiny grandpa trucks when they were going for like $4k new, but apparently they’re illegal everywhere in the US. We’re stuck with $60k “entry level” monster trucks.
Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They’re illegal in some places, but I think they’re mostly fine. The deal is you can’t import a foreign made car unless it’s more than 25 years old, so the poor American car companies don’t have to compete.
The real scam is the importers get 'em in Japan for a couple hundred bucks at auction, haul 'em over here and sell 'em for 8k plus. They’re pretty rad, but parts can be kind of a bitch.

Yeah, this isn’t rocket surgery
Also, yay for an actual work truck, and not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days

I heard a real kicker recently. It was something like
Best instagram roast of a modern truck guy I’ve ever seen.

Yup, someone on Lemmy mentioned about needing a pickup truck for work … I specifically remember that that same day I’d seem three workmen on a single 125cc scooter towing a trailer with tools and a bunch of 2x4s on it.

Hahah brilliant
My dad and his workmates just use a VW Sharan for construction work. By the stuff they do to it, it’s impressive that all 4 wheels are still attached.
It always baffles me when people say they NEEEEDED to buy a new work truck when I see how dad uses their sharan at work.

I’ve got some big ass American iron too, but it’s old and actually worth a shit. Never understood lifts you need and ladder for, and 3’ beds. Totally worthless vanity boosters.
Trucks are for doing shit, not hauling your sorry ass to the grocery store.

Exactly. Take a 1989s LWB F250 with crewcab for example - full length bed, carries a work crew, can do a reasonable amount off road, and can be absolutely beaten on for years.
That, I can respect.
