This was taken BEFORE tram went to ramming speed.

Why would you even do that? Give that asshole a fat ticket for doing something like that

I worked at Hornbach in the Netherlands, it's become a big thing among small independant contractors.

We would have about 50 of these trucks pull into the drive-in every single day.

I do think they are pretty cool looking, but the bed is so tall that even a dutch person can only gain access through the rear door. Outrageous with their 5.4l Hemi but i liked the sound and a fairly impractical car overall.

They haven't been Dodge Rams since 2010. The brand is just Ram now, they spun off from Dodge.

I'm in the US and have a 1970 Fiat 500. That little car can handle quite a few of my needs. I sometimes use it for work, when I only have estimates. Normally I drive a full size Ford E150 van.

I appreciate the Fiat because it's so different from everything on the roads here, just fun to drive, (I'm 54, so at an age where things like lumbar support and other creature comforts are nice) and it's just uncomfortable enough to make me really appreciate our more modern and larger vehicles (the For van, a Mercury Cougar convertible, a Dodge 2500 4x4, and a Volvo XC70).

The only real bad side is that between it's age and the fact that they were never freaky imported into the US, parts aren't readily available. The last time I used it for work, it broke down.

I hate our cars too. Not just because I'm too scared to drive one though.

Modern day trolley problem. Do you ram the Dodge Ram?

[-] BynaD@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Dodge the ram or ram the Dodge.

Where is the tailor made tramway dilemma meme here?!!!

[-] superkret@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

There is no dilemma. Just Ram the Dodge.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well it's on fixed tracks, so there's really no way to Dodge the Ram.

The original post was on reddit, a few years ago.
