    Now what about if you’ve lifted the front about 2 feet and lower the back? That’s big these days.

        Fairly certain the suspension would not be needed when you liquify a human being under the tracks

      NICE. I would like to see the Cybertruck and BYD vehicles added, among others, but I will definitely take a broader chart over a cherry-picked up-to-date one!

    Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.

    Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.

    Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D

      I’m guessing the European ones are harder to get into, though, or have less sleeping space. That engine has to go somewhere,

      The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.

    Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.

    I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old…

    I’d go for the Abrams if it didn’t have such bad fuel economy. Then again, I guess it’s good to get out of a traffic jam.

      Hmm, could you electrify an Abrams? I wonder if there would be a way to make it street legal, given that’s it’s not so much different from a large SUV at this point.

          Yes! And you can dump any removable armour, because road rage incidents rarely involve calibers larger than 55.

      I can tell you’re not American because we consider fuel economy to work like golf, the lower the number the better.

        I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what Eddie Hall(former world strongest man) did. At least he drove over someone else’s car before.

        Make sure you try that before in front of a mirror like in Taxi Driver for convincing results.

    I wasn’t aware with my European mind that you can call an Abrams uber there. Wow.
    Seems like the perfect solution for a lot of urban problems.

      Make sure you specify what kind of firearm you want with the uber order, otherwise you could get something stupid.

    What about the lower-profile Warsaw Pact tanks? Are they safer to drive around small children?

      They’re actually really good for this, none of the crew had any jolt or bounce injuries after either Budapest or Tienanmen.

      You’d have to file a 285 if you tried to pull that in a sherman.

    My take from this is rear engine vehicles are the safest to drive around small children.

    Lambo it is.

      TBF, the type of vehicle doesn’t really matter. If you want to murder someone, do it with a car and just claim you didn’t see the person, that you are shocked, and it’s just an “accident”. Nobody will question this.

        Especially if the person you murdered is on a bicycle, or has ever ridden a bicycle.

    Wait, does the driver in an Abrams really only have the periscope and the hatch, with no higher-mounted cameras?
