"This might be for folks who work on oil rigs (Edmonton is close to several), a vehicle like this means they can travel as a full crew. It's still terrible but that might explain it."

I'm keeping my hopes up that this thing would not be street legal in my country.
It is. Stuff like this is usually built on a "cube van" factory extended cab n chassis frame, where the normal pickup box would fit on, bolt up like factory, but leave a 2 or three foot gap between a normal cab and the front of the box.
I would hope, this ab monstrosity needs at least special drivers licence in most of Europe.
It seems to be too long. I doubt it would be road legal here. And if it was, by some absurd event, it would probably fall under C category, which is for heavy load vehicles. It would not be something someone would park in a supermarket parking lot.
It’s got nothing on an F650 super truck. I’ve driven past one on I35 outside of San Antonio, TX.

For a size reference, here’s Doug DeMuro, 6’3” (1.9m):

It’s a class 6 medium duty work truck converted to a passenger truck.
Even if you somehow need a vehicle this size, you can park it in a way that it only takes up two spaces, not four.
They where not even trying, with that thing you could go for the 8 spaces.
Too much truck, not enough dick, as they say.
Slide under the midpoint with a battery powered angle grinder or a sawzall and cut 3/4 of the way through one side of the frame. Then you just let physics do the rest when they hit a good hard bump.
Xanthan gum and muriatic acid will make a nice corrosive paste that might do the trick if you're into edging with your sabotage.
Sawing that thing without being caught is hard. So, about that xanthan and muriatic paste, what kind of gloves should I use for protection?
Nitrile gloves, thicker the better. It will break them down but it will take a while. The fumes are chlorine gas, but aren't that bad if you're outside. What you really have to watch out for is getting it in your eyes, wear goggles.
Baking soda will neutralize it, so you might want a gallon of water and some baking soda on hand. It will burn your skin if you leave it on you, but it takes a minute and you have time to just wash it off.
Paint brush would be a good way to apply it.
Stanz: It was all fine until dickless parked his truck. Mayor: Is that true? Venkman: Yes, this man has no dick.
I've been saying Canada is just Diet US. Credit where it's due, they elected the lesser dumbass. Also, healthcare. Good on y'all. Obviously Canada is better than the US but my fellow Americans act like it's the promised land or something. The cost of living is still to damn high, and they still have the same right-wing populist idiots we have. Also, I get our bills and coins suck. Dead old white man and all but how is the fucking royals supposed to be better? I think fascist monarchs are way worse. To any Canadians offended by this, please don't be. It was not my intent to offend you and I very much realize I am throwing stones from a glass house here. Love you guys!
SIR! PUT DOWN, AND STEP AWAY FROM THE WELDER AND NO ONE NEEDS TO GET HURT!!!!
there should be a law that if a car goes past a certain size it's officially a public transit and people can barge in and expect you to drop them off along your ride.
Does canada have really lax limo safety laws? i recall hearing about stretch SUVs in the US that killed like entire friend groups during prom in the US because there's absolutely no regulation of these things in some places.
No shot that's a real/unmodified model... right?
No these are modified. Last time I saw a vehicle like that it was a Mormon family out camping with their 17 kids
Edit: honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car.
Same with this picture — if somebody felt the need to pay $$$$$ for extending the truck, they’re probably actually using that space for something productive and not just driving it around empty. I’m way more mad about the incredible waste of every suburban individual having their own heavy duty cargo hauler for daily chores that don’t need it, then I am about modified special-purpose vehicles doing a job.
No car manufacturer mass produces a chassis like that. That's an unholy marriage of a suburban and an F250 super duty.
At first I thought this was here because of how stupid and obscene this truck is. This just SCREAMS "my penis is 1 inch, and I'm insecure". It gets a whole 30 feet to the gallon!
Then I noticed the park job. This is the type of park job I'd intentionally smash with the shopping cart, on my way to return my cart to those little cart return cages.
This guy is an asshole. Plain and simple. Yes, fuck the truck too, because it shouldn't even exist, but aldo fuck this guy in particular. I hope a meteor falls from the sky, crushes the back half of his truck into a pancake, and otherwise doesn't cause any injuries or harm.
I used to see that one (or a reasonable hand-drawn facsimile)all the time when I lived there. I thought it was just an Edmonton-themed limousine.
