This is the opening plot to Beetlejuice
The view through that hole in the bridge looks like something out of Soul Reaver.
I watched the Fall Guy movie recently.
What I remember from the TV series was the guy drove an absolutely enormous truck for no real reason at all.
In the remake he drives a similar sized truck, but now it doesn't stand out from anybody else's at all. He drives. That's it.
It's like seeing Chunk from The Goonies. Now he's just a kid, rather than the fat kid.
I straight up thought this was AI generated...wtf
Allow me to show you something I was stopped behind in downtown Nashville last week…
How the fuck is putting everyone in undue danger legal? You’re free to put other people in harms way.
Even if this were illegal (and it may or may not be), it would only be a problem for the driver if cops chose to enforce whatever the relevant regulation was. If a cop pulled this abomination over, it would only be to admire it.
Fun fact: cops in the US are not required to actually know the laws they're enforcing.

I think the front end is commonly used for heavy duty commercial purposes like dump trucks, but selling it for consumer purposes should be illegal.

Tim Burtony soundtrack intensifies.
