    I have a real truck, and a tow strap. If I saw some shit like this I would gleefully hook up and drag that piece of shit “truck” wherever I felt like putting it lol. I wonder of there’s any laws against removing obstacles from the roadway?

      The problem is that this is almost entirely normal for the Bay Area. I drive around a ton in the bay and the amount of people that just double park on a road, or throw their hazards on and just put it in park is INSANE. So while this person is a douche as well, the cyber truck thing is really just clickbait since people in shitbox Hondas do this too.

      Just to be pedantic, it is categorized as a truck too, Class 2b, “light duty”. So it’s the same class as the GMC Sierra 2500, Ford F-250, and the Nissan Titan XD. I do agree it’s a piece of shit but only in that it’s a bigger piece of shit than the rest of its class.

          Apparently, and not just in the US:

          Light-duty trucking is a United States designation for trucks and vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight up to 8500 pounds and payload capacities up to 4000 pounds. Light commercial vehicles are a similar class of light-duty trucking vehicles found in the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada and have a gross vehicle weight up to the equivalent of 7720 pounds.
