How in the FUCK are these allowed on the roads? I saw one go by me with my own two eyes and it was the BIGGEST thing on a regular old road I've ever seen, hands down.

That's cool as hell. Please note down their location. If I survive the first couple of days of the rev I want this thing for a command vehicle.

Ooh, for the price of a whole additional car you can get the jet-ski package!

I'm trying to think where you could even use this. Maybe logging roads or something? I feel like the very long wheelbase would make it bad for a lot of kinds of offroading. Don't get me wrong, I know this thing ever only goes too and from the office.

Yeah I was thinking something like mining or logging. Don’t think I’d want a luxurious interior being mucked up by work boots though. And no one is going to be loading gravel from a bulldozer into the bed of a truck with a paint job worth more than a normal car.

Just yesterday I saw a G Wagon being used for a real job as a tow truck. They’re pretty cool trucks when used as designed.

Edit: I guess the wheels aren’t that crazy big for a functional truck.
