Yeah, nothing I’ve written is sarcastic. Sarcasm translates poorly on the internet. You generally have to do something like #eyeroll for that to get across. I’m 100% serious that if you’ve got $100,000 to blow that a F450 would make way more sense than a Merc S-Class. Thinking differently is fine, it’s just wrong.

Why? Many Americans take advantage of the ability these trucks have. In fact, I’d say they get more use for they are built for than any car with massaging back seats does.

Have they not invented sarcasm where you live or what? It sounds like you feel a lot of disbelief if you missed as obvious a joke as that one...

So we’ve narrowed down the 195 countries on planet Earth to “America” and “the south of France”.

It seems uncharitable for you to assume the rest of the world are homorless, condescending scolds.

That’s amazing that on the internet you’d immediately assume I’m an American. Only an American assumes he’s only dealing with Americans online.

And we just don’t care....

You have just defined the Ford’s advertising campaign.

$100,000. The F-450 vs Merc S-Class comparison.

Not everyone that lives outside of a big city is broke af.

I love that a lot of us here would be like “ITS STUPID TEXAN TRUCK NONSENSE ITS SO DUMB” and your response to it is just freaking perfect. Its kinda funny because all the American Jalops see tiny euro cars and drool, and you’re over there seeing an irrationally large truck and just like “I CAN HAZ PLZ?”

i love this car. i LOVE this car. Must be the fact they arent sold in spain, but i find them freaking glorious. if i ever win the lottery im importing one.

Precisely. This is a direct substitute for a high speed chase, for which probable cause has already been established.

Is it magnetic? I assumed it sticks to the bumper like a giant booger.

Honest question: if you were president and received situation reports stating ports were full of aid supplies that could not be delivered, would you send more supplies?

Katrina was as bad as it was primarily as a result of the failures of local government to implement its own disaster response plan. Example: One mile from the superdome

FYI, if you have found a plane part, take it directly to the authorities. Do not take it to a journalist.

They were. This whole situation is far beyond get mobilized. They don’t have the infrastructure to “accept” the help we are trying to deliver. Ships are stuck at sea having to bring in supplies via helicopter and small boat. Supplies are in port and there are no comms on the island. This has nothing to do with the…

Finally a real-world application for Dakar trucks! The roads aren’t 100% going to be there, but supplies need to get through.

Then why choose the National Anthem to protest? Why not player introductions, or the halftime marching band if it’s not about the flag or country? Not arguing the basis of the protests, just the method and contradicting messages like ‘it’s not about the flag or country itself’ ... because it is.
