be kind to the poor pfc, he’s paying by the week for seven years for that shitbox.
This truck screams “I just blew my enlistment bonus”
Small down payment at best.
Small something
This is a real thing that happens. I know someone who took his bonus and bought a red Toyota Celica and put Lambo doors on it.
I’ve heard that people who drive a Dodge Ram are most likely to have a DUI on their record.
For real. Might have changed since then though.

Because some people only live inside their tiny little bubble and can’t think outside of it. So therefore if I don’t have a need or want for a truck then no one else should.
That only works if what you want doesn’t also affect other people. If you buy a giant pick up truck that endangers other people, for no other reason than your own ego, you’re probably an asshole.
Your world view is so tiny. You don’t know shit.
You’re probably an asshole. Only because your own ego is so great and your own mind is so limited you can’t take time to think outside your own tiny little box.
It’s sad really. Also don’t leave your house ever. Your actions endanger other people.
Have you never had to tow a trailer? Haul lumber or stone? Bring home a large appliance or furniture? Help a friend move? Or are you just assuming anyone who uses a vehicle you don’t need is an asshole?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. None of those needed or would have been better with a pickup. Have driven a pickup as well. Was pointless and crap.
I read that too. I think the 2500 model had the highest rate.
Unless another model has truck balls, which doubles the trucks overall douche-value.
yeah i heard that from regular car reviews!
People who make poor life choices are more likely to make other poor life choices.
It was BMW drivers, rams were a close second to Tesla in driving incidents and highest overall combined incidents and dui.
Saw that recently as well. Wondering if the stats are US versus the world. BMWs just don’t seem common enough in the US to hold the top spot. Unless every driver is constantly tanked at all times.
BMW’s are all over, at least where I live.
At least the alcoholic grindset yuppies are well represented by the BMW 4 series and Audi A4 in the top 5.
Absolutely zero surprise of Ram trucks being #1. The only vehicle that has ever crashed into me was a Ram. All the tires were mismatched and the driver came to his deposition with alcohol on his breath. They’re a fun bunch, those Ram drivers.
I’ll rarely see Rams used as actual work trucks. At least around me, it’s all Fords and Chevy. And if it a Ram, it’s got a Cummins in it. Hemi is weekend warrior shit.
Still the same, up there with BMW
Serious “you will address me by my husband’s rank” energy here
Is this a thing? Lol that’s so depressing.
they’re called dependas and yes very much a thing
Dependas be like that.
Any soldier of worth I’ve ever known, …any true soldier, wouldn’t advertise their profession as such.
Wannabe.
Nothing more.
This screams boot to me, lol. I bet you they financed it at something ridiculous too.
Is there an r/JustBootThings on Lemmy or Kbin? Some of the shit on there was hilarious.
I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.
Yeah that shit was pretty much the epitome of r/JustBootThings
We were all boots once. Some of us grew out of it.
Boot?
Boot is a derisive term, in this case it’s referring to young inexperienced people fresh out of boot camp. The mindset refers to doing trashy and/or foolish things usually coupled with a strong sense of entitlement (“thank me for my service!”).
Not sure who downvoted you, nothing wrong with asking questions to learn stuff.
Something typical of a person fresh out of boot camp.
Fresh outa boot camp.
Nothing worse than a moto ass boot.
100% he’s a POG too
Pineapple orange guava?
No, it’s that thing that was popular in the 90s:
Pogue. The word is Pogue. As in Pogie Bait.
POG is a backronym and must be obliterated with prejudice.
wanna bet he’s a 92f or some shit?
maybe a 74a who’s huffed too much ojt
No true Scotsman…
And the Ares is quotes, blegh.
Exactly. Most actual soldiers would say Marine, etc. rarely use soldier.
Unless they are in the Army. Then they would rightfully call themselves a soldier. Soldier, Airman, Marine, Seaman, Guardian and Spacie. I guess not sure on the last one
Guardian… haha… Finally the semen have someone they can laugh at.
Eh, a lot of us did stupid stuff like put a CIB sticker on or something. This is a whole 'nother level.
There used to be a community for this on the website that shall not be named. “Don’t Dead Open Inside” I think?
There’s here too! !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz
The fuck is ohaa.xyz?
Instance…
It’s a place. For things.
New to Lemmy?
I’ve never seen ohaa.xyz either.
It’s not about having seen it it’s about being surprised by a new instance name. It’s the nature of federation
A lot of the images didn’t load because they “contained errors”
I bet it’s financed ar 29.9%

The fuck is a hemi?
A Hemi indicates the top of the combustion chamber has a Hemispherical shape, rather than the typical frying pan type shape.
The increased size of the chamber means additional fuel and air can be introduced, which increases power output.
It’s old tech like carburetors. It’s wasteful on fuel, but MOPAR fans love it.
Doesn’t it also mean a higher compression ratio? Meaning more power behind the same A:F ratio? Or am I as dumb as the guy who put the stickers on that truck?
“Due to the shape of the hemispherical combustion chamber, it’s difficult to raise the compression ratio high enough to fully take advantage of its superior shape, irrespective of the brand on the valve cover”
https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/hemi-engine-pros-cons/
This is also interesting:
“If the 2003-present Gen-III Hemi isn’t a real hemi engine, then why do we call it that? With good reason, Chrysler (now FCA) wanted to extend the “Hemi” branding to its third-generation Hemi V-8 because of the instant recognition and status it carries.”
It’s something rednecks will ask other rednecks about whether they have one or not. If you see that sticker, there is about a 30 percent chance that the driver of the vehicle is drunk.
An old-fashioned engine design.
It’s a type of engine design found mainly in certain pickup trucks. I don’t know why but it’s an important thing to some people.
Can’t forget the charger.
It’s the engine in the truck. It’s a Chrysler V8.
The car I think
You just By A Driving
Got
Passed Soldier A Hemi

Apparently one who isn’t literate either.
Imagine being a soldier and still having something to prove on the freeway
Dishonorable discharge
from his penis too.
Don’t dead open inside
People who treat driving as some kind of competition should have their license permanently revoked.
When I’m driving all day, I try as hard as possible to forget who passes me and who I pass. This little kid in my mind is like “pay attention, lars, don’t let them get there first!”. It’s gross.
I kinda do but the only one im competeing with is myself and the shitty dirt “road” I decided to drive on.
You, just by a driving, got passed. Soldier, a hemi!!
Hope I’m not the only one trying to put these words to Smooth Criminal.
You just got passed by, you just got hit by, a soldier in a hemi!
I’m speeding, I kill people for the government, and my engine has hemispherical combustion chambers!
and my engine has hemispherical combustion chambers!
Not even that anymore. HEMI is just a marketing term.
Wow, he’s got TWO things to base his whole personality on. What a complex, nuanced existence he must lead. 🙄
And here I am with like 10 hobbies and unable to keep up with them. I still find myself unable to communicate with others though as my hobbies are niche and not the norm for most people.
I wouldn’t recommend using vinyl lettering on a RAM as your method of communication. Try a makerspace, they’re wonderfully wide-ranging in terms of hobbies and interests.
Can I use vinyl lettering on my Chrysler Pacifica PEV? It’s the same maker of RAM but more soccer mom and less douche nozzle. How about “You just passed a middle aged man getting 40mpg”
OMG please do! LOL
I am often amazed by the aggressively-driven minivans I see. It’s like they’re upset they’re driving a minivan, and taking it out on the rest of us, or something. I don’t know.
I mean, I see plenty of other aggressively-driven vehicles as well, but the minivans always stand out because they seem like pretty much the antithesis of a vehicle you would expect to be driven aggressively. No one is buying a minivan for the performance, handling, or cool factor.
I don’t have anything against minivans - they’re extremely useful vehicles for hauling people or things and reasonably fuel-efficient while doing it.
But also he’s passin people. Getting ahead!!
