try living in the south, these behemoths are everywhere and i feel like same way, feel like it is unsafe to drive my sedan near those big trucks. I think i'll invest in an semi truck, that'll show people who the man on the road really is.

I would recommend that you upgrade to a Marauder produced by the Paramount Group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDoRmT0iRic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDoRmT0iRic

  You can get ex-military vehicles surprisingly cheap. The 5 MPG hurts a bit after awhile, however.

    5MPG? Pssh, get something that's 5GPM and you'll never worry about a wreck again.

next obvious step after the semi would then be an M1 Abrams...

    And at a top speed of 0.6km/h, easily avoidable by pedestrians.

  I have seen this on the road. I had assumed it was a custom made vehicle bolting the front of a semi to a stock truck bed.

  Could you please not post flamewar comments to HN? You did it repeatedly in this thread, and it's what we're hoping to avoid on this site. We've also had to ask you this before. Please just don't do it here. I don't want to ban you, but when accounts do this kind of thing repeatedly, we don't really have much choice. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      I said 'repeatedly' because you posted obvious flamewar comments several times in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32426780 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32426780 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32426607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32426607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32426432 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32426432 We ban accounts that post like that, so please don't do post like that here. In terms of the specific comment I replied to: even if we ignore your other comments, it seems obviously sarcastic and aggressive. If you didn't intend it that way, you should have written it very differently. People sometimes think that their intent communicates itself when posting comments, but it doesn't—it has to be encoded into a message in a way that the reader can receive. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=disambiguate%20burden%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
