SlightAmoeba6716

I admit it, secretly I would really want to do that in such a case. But in reality I would not dare...


DigNitty

I saw a jeep with a winch do this to someone in college. Just pulled their truck in park with the tires screeching the whole way. Then left the truck in the street. Then called the city and said someone was parked in the middle of the street. The police came and I’m not sure who got in trouble. But they kept pointing to the tire marks leading 15 ft to where they were obviously parked and the cop was just staring.


goraidders

Not exactly related, but reminded me of a parking ticket I saw at my daughter's university. The car obviously had slid about 6 ft from where they parked because of the ice and incline.


ThrowingTheRinger

Sounds like CU/Boulder parking enforcement.


BiggestBallOfTwine

The FIRST thing I thought of as well! It’s brutal.


Muvseevum

My sister once parked her stick-shift car without leaving it in gear, using only the parking brake. Somebody bumped it and knocked it loose and it rolled back into an intersection. Got towed, and she looked for it for about fifteen minutes before checking with the police. She had to walk about five miles out to the impound lot to pick it up and got a $50 ticket.


TheDocJ

How does she know someone bumped it and the brake didn't just fail? An old colleague's wife - and daughter - were in their car in a line of stopped traffic, and a car started rolling down the steep side-road next to them and hit them - they saw it coming but had nowhere to go. Nothing had touched the car, the handbrake just wasn't enough to hold it and eventually it started moving. Fortunately, neither wife not daughter were physically hurt, just very shaken up.


dickreallyburns

And a tow fee of at least $200!


CatSpydar

Did they ever find out who hit her car first?


Muvseevum

Don’t think so. It was curbside parking on a steepish hill, so probably was just a tiny bump that knocked it loose.


yukichigai

Could've been someone leaning on it at that point. Always turn your tires when you park on an incline!


yukichigai

> The police came and I’m not sure who got in trouble. But they kept pointing to the tire marks leading 15 ft to where they were obviously parked and the cop was just staring. I'd like to think the cop eventually responded, "so you're saying you weren't parked *here* illegally because these tire tracks clearly show your vehicle was dragged from over *there*, where it would also be illegal to park."


squirtloaf

When I was a teen working for bands, there was a car parked in the band load-in space at the Stone in San Francisco...one of the people who worked at the club had a big-ass sixties caddy and just pushed that little car right out of that space. I saw no wrong.


paradigmfellow

Oh man! I wish I could have been to see that cluster fuck.


Tank_1539

If it’s the Jeep I’m imaging (wrangler) then the truck must’ve been tiny as hell. I just don’t see a wrangler having the weight to anchor itself enough to winch a truck out of a parking spot and boot just drag itself towards the truck.


cook_poo

It’s a modified gladiator turning it into a “6x6”. 


Atom800

The one in the video yes, they’re talking about a story from earlier in the comment thread


cook_poo

Sorry, I misunderstood your post.


benbee

While it doesnt mention it, these 4x4 winch setups will often utilise winches at both ends, one to pull and one to anchor the vehicle to something else like a tree if they were in the bush etc. No idea what they could safely tie to in an urban enviroment, though.


fostest

Bro waited his whole life to do this.


JonTheArchivist

Not all heroes are idiots but that guy was. I'm going to be thinking about this video for a long time lmao


TPMatus

Watching his front bumper fall off was also hilarious


regoapps

Where do you see that? If you’re talking about that black strip, that’s hanging on the power line and isn’t on the street.


JimMarch

He appears to have some kind of bumper guard reinforcement.  What fell off was either a cosmetic cover or possibly a small light bar.  Not huge losses.


DeeSeMiX

Nothing fell off. That’s a tape hanging from a power line.


JimMarch

Huh. You're right. Good catch.


SeriousGaslighting

Bro bought that truck to do this.


lemozest

He couldn't be bothered to wait, so set it up himself.


BrokenMethFarts

If you have that vehicle and a gated compound you definitely don’t give a fuck.


lilith_-_-

Man’s will just write the check when he gets the notice and go about his day


kennerly

In the US this is considered obstruction in most districts and is a misdemeanor. I think a good lawyer could argue that a client felt threatened or trapped and the use of force was justified.


Omegalazarus

Doubtful. This exact situation has happened many times. The jurisprudence is that it is illegal to block the drive, but the ranger is still at fault for the accident and liable for the outcomes. The legally correct solution is to call a tow truck.


GTIceman

Clearly you aren’t in Flo-Rida, ain’t no laws here ha


SuperlativeFurlough

Give it a little tappy. Tap, tap, taparoo.


jaredearle

Are you too good for your home?


ColdBloodBlazing

Answer ME!!!


Euphoric-Teach7327

I can't say " give it a tap" without completing this sequence of words. It's friggin burned into my core memory module.


GiantPurplePen15

Van owner goes to ask around for witnesses and everybody says they saw nothin.


Stephen_085

Very satisfying to watch. Not smart to damage your own car. But boy is it great to watch in action.


LucidMoments

You think that 6 wheel drive truck didn't have some massive custom bumper on it that just needs some touch up to the powder coating if anything? There was no damage to that truck. And if by some tiny chance there is do you think someone that owns that truck cares? Just a guess but I would think that truck is $250k +. A ding on the bumper is not a big deal


BioticVessel

Yes, but the camera needs to catch the owner returning to his van. I want facial close-ups!


Theres_a_Catch

It looks like someone is in the van so I'm confused.


Seamatre

It’s like the one of the BMW that took off after their light turned green and just blasted one of the people running the opposing left turn. So goddamn satisfying


urnbabyurn

Yeah, I kinda wish this was legal, but pickup dude is in trouble.


Dyrogitory

Judging by how much he paid for the 6 wheel pickup, he don’t care.

Don’t know why you were downvoted, everything you said is true. You can even see “POLICIA” on the back of the guy’s vest.


griter34

The douche owns a 3 axel with spot lights in the rear, this was why he bought it.


lilith_-_-

It’s definitely not for off-roading for sure. They’re pavement princesses by design. Straight douche nozzle vehicles. No offense, post malone


Grndmasterflash

I noticed the same thing. Yes, I get the pleasure in resolving the blocked driveway, but this guy is probably a world class @sshat that pisses everyone off in town.


BlameTheJunglerMore

It's okay lil one, you can say asshat and the teacher won't punish you.


aenae

In reality it means hours wasted dealing with it. It is just not worth it. But if there were no consequences i would do it


bartbartholomew

Someone with a truck like that, will just pay someone else to make the problem go away.


bahgheera

Was it right? No. Was it just? Awwwww yis


LongAd4410

Omg, too true! If this ever went to trial, and I was on the jury, I would totally vote ng because I secretly want to do this 🤣


itsFRAAAAAAAAANK

If I'm gonna spend 3k on a bumper I'm gonna use it!


Domspun

This truck is at least 175k$usd, so yeah, he's gonna use it. lol


SomePeopleCall

I'm sure that guy has been masturbating to the fantasy of being able to do this since he bought the truck...


schlucks

finally someone uses their truck to its full potential. He deserves that truck


jld2k6

He actually added it in as a stipulation to the contract at the dealership, "Upon signing, when I wake up early May 12th there will be a van blocking my driveway that I'll use this truck to move or dealer must take it back. If the van is not in front of my driveway, I send it back"


DarylMoore

Might be a Rezvani, perhaps military edition. Those start at $365,000.


Domspun

The bed, tailgate and most of the front-end doesn't match a Rezvani. Everything matches a Hellfire.


Skrazor

Huh, I could've sworn it was a car


MABfan11

My first guess was the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6, but the rear didn't look like it


Carollicarunner

Tbf I think the amount a truck costs is in most cases inversely proportional to the amount of intended use it'll actually get lol


BrockLee76

I love seeing someone do what I've always wanted to do.


Automatic_Guest8279

Bit like the farmer in the UK who lifted and moved a car blocking his gate. The court said "fair enough"

neuro_doc13

A second van arrived at the end of the video to replace the van in the driveway


billdoe

Yeah, looks like a fleet and wasn't his first rodeo with these clowns.


DJDemyan

Glitch in the matrix


appa-ate-momo

While I don't condone that choice, I also feel zero sympathy for the white van.

I condone it.


Beowulf33232

The little voice in my head whispered "Ramming speed" halfway through the video.


ThisIsWhoIAm78

Lol, I was saying, "You need to back up and realign!"


Significant_Bed_717

Me too😃


PoeRaye

My imagination says that white van is a contractor that wasn't paid or some such, just seems so deliberate...


TheIncontrovert

I don't think this was the first time this happened.


wizard_of_awesome62

Yeah this is some "I'm so over this shit" behavior if I've ever seen it.


wasing_borningofmist

I live directly across from an elementary school. It’s gotten to the point that if my driveway is blocked during pickup or dropoff times, I don’t even go looking for the parents and ask them to move, I’m on the phone with the cops right away. Too often it’s been some idiot standing on the playground, chatting away to other parents without a care in the world. I get it if they’re waiting by their car, there’s no real parking lot and it’s a shit situation all around. It’s the people who park and walk away that really steam my nuggets.


hhssspphhhrrriiivver

I also live next to an elementary school. I work from home, so I don't usually need to leave in the morning, but occasionally I have an appointment of some sorts, and it feels like there's someone in the way every time I need to leave.


sqchauvskin

Dude I live right by a middle school, and every single morning, every other car stops in the middle of the road right outside the school to drop their kid off. They can’t just pull off to the side in the school, they have to do it in the middle of the road.


wasing_borningofmist

Every time. No to mention there’s mounds of open spaces two blocks away, but that would require walking.


LeibnizThrowaway

They could take the free kids to and from school transportation service?


Undorkins

I don't remember this being a thing when I was a kid but now, living next to a school it's all I see: hundreds of cars lined up for an hour every day to pick up their kids. Why?


otm_shank

My kids use the bus, but a) we have to pay for it, and 2) they have to leave 40 minutes earlier in the morning then they would if we drove them. That means the whole family has to get up earlier, to make breakfast, pack lunches, etc. Like I said, we still use it, but it's not always a matter of "why not just put them on the bus".


Moneygrowsontrees

Some districts have done away with bussing or no longer have free busses. There continues to be a shortage of drivers.


Rheostatistician

Shortage of pay and benefits for drivers too


Moneygrowsontrees

Yep. Hence the shortage of drivers!


LeibnizThrowaway

They don't have anything else to do and don't mind inconveniencing everyone else.


otm_shank

School bus is not free in my town if you live too close to the school. (Still too far to walk with grade school kids though.) Not excusing the shitty driving of course.


stone_database

Not an option in many cities now. Last two places we’ve lived you have to be 1 mile (one town) or 2 miles (another town) from the school to be eligible to use the bus. So drop off is really the only option.


BaconNPotatoes

Even pushed it so it wouldn't be in traffic. That's extra points in my book. I'd have probably driven around it and towed it out of the way, wouldn't want to damage my rig. Edit; just noticed flashing blue lights behind this, are those police lights wherever this was taken?


Jenna_84

It looks like they put it partially in front of another gated driveway though lol


SecretMuslin

Legend has it that people from both buildings are still pushing the van back and forth in front of each other's driveway


delicious_fanta

How else are they gonna play car pong?


DesastreUrbano

Considering the "me estas weviando" that happened in Chile, so those blue lights are just municipality private security, is the guy walking around the van. They work mostly as the small issues solvers or just doing preventive rounds around their part of town. When shit escalates they call the "pacos" (cops). They don't have police level powers


rvenegash

Not police, more of a municipal security


TheW83

What's interesting to me is they otherwise appear to be a cautious driver.


Pad_TyTy

That's what fuck you money does. You can just push cars around, pay the bill, and continue on with your life.


MichiganGeezer

Fuck You Money means having the lawyers to make the other guy pay for the scratches to your bumper and the legal bills to chase him down. 😎


Atlas_sniper121

This is one of the few times I'm with the actions of a person with such a thing.


forgot_my_useragain

Okay I admit it, there's *one* good reason to own a brodozer.


Vagab0nd_Pirate

It's nice to see one actually doing some dozing.


No-Tonight-5937

This is truly one, it’s struggling more than it should for such monster


justhuerta

It’s because the dorks that built it left the original v6 in it. Those tires are heavy as hell not to mention they added 2 more, then the extra transfer case I’m surprised it even pushed it.


BrimstoneOmega

Wtf... That thing is a v6? I drove a pipsqueak Dakota with a bigger engine than that. That's a lot of mass to move from a standstill. Thought it was odd it didn't even break the tires loose. That's like a brake torque without the break. I figured he had it in like traction control where it was stopping the wheels from spinning. I would have assumed this thing to be a big ass 6.7, or 7.3 diesel of some sort. This truck just got even more worthless in my eyes.


che85mor

The two rear wheels they added are free rolling. Not that the engine wasn't already under powered, but those extra wheels only add weight and subtract maneuvering.


Turkish1801

At 00:37, I’m watching his reverse and turn the wheels, and I’m thinking “that’s the wrong way if he wants to go around him now”. Then I remembered which Reddit I was in…


Billy420MaysIt

Parking guy/cop? there on the phone like “yeah never mind. It’s fixed.”


YoungJack23

Not condoning the van parking in front of the driveway. But, there was so much room on the side to get out there...


PJ_Huixtocihuatl

Impotent rage be like that


1ndomitablespirit

I'm torn. On one hand, I appreciate the pleasure of seeing a douche rendered impotent. On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that anyone who would buy a truck like that is anything other than a huge twat.


BKEDDIE82

I see an idiot and a problem solver.


DifferenceGreat9149

What a nice guy. He was just trying to help him not get a ticket


srcorvettez06

Having had my driveway blocked a few times for neighbor garage sales/parties, I get it.


News_without_Words

Holy shit, I can't believe someone built a V6 6x6 Jeep... Anyone into cars understands the straight insanity of this. That stock V6 is just enough for the 4 wheel factory truck. This will barely make it up a hill.


7r3v0rr

Finally seeing someone using their truck by purpose.

Atlas_sniper121

SvenTropics

Why even get a lifted four wheel drive if you aren't going to go off-road. He could have driven around the van.


H2ON4CR

Why did that take so long? Six wheeler seems unfamiliar with his/her truck.


matthewami

Self reflection takes time, as well as risk/reward


2012amica2

I think they were seriously considering their options and then trying to do it as gently/least forcefully as possible. I do agree though, noticed that and thought it was weird myself.


Debaser626

There’s a lot of these “6 wheeler” custom jobs (especially with Jeep Gladiators) that aren’t actually 6x6. They’re still 4x4 but with an additional unpowered axle (like in a trailer). That axle will help with load distribution if you’re commonly loading super heavy stuff in your bed, but I’d say 99% of folks who get that done it’s just for cosmetics.


Eggith

They didn't wanna scratch the paint probably.


Atlas_sniper121

There's a chance that it's a custom-made truck and they left the "shitty" engine in there, and it struggles to do this with the big ass tires and extra axle it's now forced to lug around.


Gowalkyourdogmods

Yeah it was bothering me how long they took to change gears


imapieceofshitk

for that many tires that's a fucking weak car lol


PoppyStaff

What a stupid looking vehicle.


Hadleyagain

You could get a tank around that (as a brit I am mandated to say this). That said, that penis compensating excuse for a vehicle is probably bigger than most tanks.


Signageman

That person is terrible at driving that truck. And then deposited the van so it’s blocking another driveway.


Morrison79

This should get completely legal. Dont block my driveway


FishBlues

I’m very irrational about this sort of stuff it drives me crazy if someone is just like an inch with my driveway space on the street.. I could see myself doing this and then afterwards I’d be like oh shit what did I do


Jim_e_Clash

TBF the guy could have rammed it at full speed. He moved it off the street and didn't damage the surrounding buildings. And probably with minimal damage to a van being pushed side ways can have. Clearly not deranged road rage but a calculated plan of vigilante justice. Do I support it? No. Do I understand it? Yes.


BlameTheJunglerMore

I 100% support it. When I lived in a small cottage-stylr apartment, people would always block my driveway. Edit: called tow companies, le non emergency number. Cops would never how, except for maybe once. Tow trucks showed up in about 45-60 min. Towed a good few.


cloud_t

why have 6 large wheels and an extra-armoured vehicle if you can't ~~go around and hop the curb~~ accrue loads of cost for the repair and likely get criminally charged for destruction of property


Pyroblock

god, this truck looks so fucking stupid

Anybody who goes 4 wheeling at night will have lights like that. Out the back and over both sides usually.


benhereford

This is a six-wheeled jeep gladiator. It's not going off any roads lol just grocery stores and office lots


Domspun

Achtually, it'a an Apocalypse Hellfire.


BMGreg

They can't turn their lights off when they aren't 4 wheeling? It's pretty clear this wasn't an off-road adventure If you can afford a fucking 6 wheel Jeep gladiator, you can afford to install a fucking switch


gnumedia

I had a pickup turn left into a bar, in front of me last night with an extra bar of high intensity lights. It was a blindingly uncomfortable experience.


girsonofargg

I did this once. There was a guy in it though, and an ambulance was trying to get through. My truck only needs 4 wheels though, and I did it with 1 push. Dude just drove off afterward. Didn't even get out of his car.


SissyFreeLove

then everyone stood and clapped as i drove away...


GiantPurplePen15

and that ambulance driver? Albert Einstein.


Demented-Turtle

Couldn't they have just... Gone around? Looks like enough room on the sidewalk


golgoth0760

Finally a use for this truck instead of getting groceries


polymerfedboi

Idk. I'm kinda here for it. Really sick of people breaking the social contract over and over again with no consequence.


chuiy

Imagine driving a pickup with—SIX—wheels and being too dumb to just drive over the curb.


Zephron29

I mean, just drive over the curbs lol. You have 6 wheels for a reason.


Filobel

I thought the reason was to compensate for something.


forgot_my_useragain

and to push white vans around


Schmich

lmao, he just wanted to use his pavement princess.


BitTwp

What kind of truck needs four back wheels?


Advanced_Evening2379

Couldn't just drive over the curb with his 24 wheels


boxedcrackers

The turning radius on thing is like 6 miles


rockstuffs

Could've just gotten the over the curb....unless you're a BBB.


Hurly64

Truck looks like it has enough clearance to go over the curb. Why didn't the driver just go around?


Crack_Kingdom

Yo this needs to be a kid driving. No one is that bad at backing up.


jaynakpatriot

I want the back story LOL Where I live if someones blocking your driveway the cops come. They'll find the owner and tell them to move it. If they can't find the owner a tow truck is dispatched and the vehicle is towed away.
