Dear Americans,

What the FUCK?

Why don't they just put a lift kit on the locomotive?

That vid is from 2017. The track has since been replaced.

Anon learns a long focal length compresses the depth of field

>>2039044 (OP)
Bad track was bad. That's why someone made that video.

>>2039066
To a degree, but that train is tilting like fucking Pisa also, reality probably wasn't too far off.

did the train make it

>>2039188
Yes, very slowly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X2A2f6E5DI

>>2039054
Why do americans do this?
Like whats the point? I literally cant comprehend this.

>>2039220
That truck came from the factory as a dually (4 tires on the rear). The owner just put a lift kit on it and bigger tires. It can either be for better off-road clearance or just for looks.

>>2039221
>or just for looks
Let's be honest, it's almost always this.

>>2039222
It depends on where you live. In urban areas yeah, that's the case nearly every time. In the sticks you'll still see trucks built up for show occasionally too but most have a more modest lift/tires than that one for trails or work.

>>2039221
>better off-road clearance
Do you need to go overlanding to reach your destination?
>or just for looks
Who wants to look like a petrol sniffing retard by choice?

>>2039228
>Do you need to go overlanding to reach your destination?
There are people who enjoy offroading/trail riding or need an all terrain vehicle for their line of work
>Who wants to look like a petrol sniffing retard by choice?
Whoever wants to

Would you believe me if I told you the railroad industry used to hire a lot of Irishmen?

>europeons cannot even imagine riding over nonflat terrain
I guess this explains their cars, sad! Beefy American CHAD vehicles can withstand all kinds of terrain.

This is what happens when you let immigrants build your railroads.

There's no terrain on earth that would require that trucks ground clearance and also allow for its width.

Gender reaffirmation. As pictured by >>2041130.

>>2039054
just needs dangling balls, a gun rack, and a "don't tread on me" bumper sticker to show how small the driver's penis is

Notice how that terrain was deliberately designed by humans, and that truck achieved nothing worthwhile at all.
It's a show truck, just like >>2039054

>>2039044 (OP)
do european rails really not have any stunt jumps built into them?

>>2039054
this truly triggered the eurpoors kek

>It's a show truck,
Built decades before show trucks were a thing.
I suggest you look at who Willock's largest customers are.

>>2041468
The least they could do is to put a gas cap on the tank filler.

>>2039044 (OP)
Sound transit (Seattle) is building a track just like this across the I-90 floating bridge. Should be a fun ride!

>>2039044 (OP)
>>2039189
No way I'd attempt that, fuck outta here.

Funny you should say that, I recently got overtaken by a pickup truck with a "don't tread on me" sticker on it, and live in Europe. I often wonder what has gone wrong in people's lives to end up like that.

>>2041950
So late stage it was already fixed by the time you complained.
