• Good idea. I'll get right to work on developing my flying 5000 sq. ft. house that runs on crushed baby seal skulls.
• Man, the gas and insurance will be killer on that truck. That truck is for people like California's Governator.
• Two hundred and fifty eight inches oh my!
• Well, it's not so bad. It's just a crew cab medium duty truck with a pick-up bed. You could probably have the same thing done to a Freightliner M2 with a crew cab. It's also pretty close to an Ford F-550 (the big big big brother of the F-150). Now if you want excess, you want a class 8 motorhome, esp. a Volvo 610.
• They've finally done it. They've made a car that I would be too small to get into. Judging by that picture, and the given dimensions, I'm really not sure I could reach the door handle. I am, however, more than happy with the size of my penis.
• And before I saw class 8 motorhomes, I wanted to do something like that but some kind of Hino truck. And really, that CXT thing looks pretty useless. It's sold in the US & Canada: the road system is pretty good and even Toyota Camrys can get almost anywhere. It's too big for most recreational trails. Oh, and my uncle drives dump trucks for a living. Dump trucks that and skidders. And it's actually less tiring & hard to drive a skidder trough deep woods than a heavy truck on dirt roads. What you really want to enjoy t3h 0ff-r0ad is some kind of ATV. And to carry an ATV, you simply need a midsize/fullsize pickup.
• And that article sucks bad. They basically reprinted International's press release. And added some errors for good measure: "The vehicle weighs about seven tons empty and can carry another six tons in its truck bed." Yeah right. The bed is 8' long. A Toyota Echo is 14' long. How are you going to fit that in? Sketch it up, you fucking moron. Fucking Leonardo da Vinci. Oh, and the Ford F-Series goes to F-750. (altough F-450s and up are commercial vehicles)
• I am, however, more than happy with the size of my penis. Oh really, flashboy. Does your blog come in first in search engine searches for big cocks? I think not.
• Here's an article on it with less PR spin (herald@miami.com / bogus1 worked for me). The long & short of it: The base price is $93,000, but options can push that up to $115,000. Some other big pickups cost under $30,000. Company officials say they expect to sell nearly 100 this year and 500 next year. I love the comment on Autoblog: "If this sucker isn’t a Red State item, I don’t know what is."
• PS - Oops, forget about the "less PR spin" comment I made... I just saw the other FPP link to CNN.. good job. What I posted was kinda redundant.
• I am, however, more than happy with the size of my penis. Hhhmmmmm.........contemplates flashboy's comment. This is ridiculous. There are about a million other things I would buy instead of this.
• Man, this is the first car/truck that I think needs to be surrounded by its own entourage of Toyota Echoes.
• The CXT - For those that want to prentend driving Optimus Prime.
• Oh, crap, you had to mention Optimus Prime. Now I really do want one.
• Reminds me of that Onion article "New Ford SUV Holds Eight Passengers And Their SUVs". Unfortunately, I am not able to find it any more on their site.
• Flying cars, people. Feel the rage. We were supposed to have FLYING CARS. TELEPORTERRRRRSS!!! * shakes fist *
• MonkeyFilter: We were supposed to have FLYING CARS.
• I heard Oprah was going to give one to each of her audience members on her show sometime next week. I'm with Richer: skidders rock for tearing a new snowmachine trail through the backwoods.
• In the CXT's product brochure, their slogan is "The Brilliance of Common Sense".
• Maybe the other car companies paid this one to make the CXT to make their land leviathans look tiny by comparison. Though it probably just was the result of their marketing department falling asleep during a Transformers marathon on Cartoon Network.
• So, turns out it's a commercial and PR success. And they gave it two little brothers .
