Straight to fucking jail for this one. Jesus christ.

A six wheeled jeep with giant wheels and a long pickup bed. The word, hellfire is visible in the rear wheel well. Parked in Printers Row, downtown Chicago.

Remove valve stem cap. Insert lentil/pebble. Return cap and tighten till air can be heard escaping.

Actual military Humvees have a system that automatically re-inflates tires so I'm curious if the lentil would defeat that and also if this horrible vehicle has this feature.

Such a feature would cut into the obscene profit margins on vehicles like this sold to consumers, you can safely assume it does not.

It's actually based on those ugly Jeep pickups and not a Hummer let alone a Humvee so you are probably correct.

Yeah. It looks so much like an early 2000s Hummer I just kinda assumed that pedigree but it's a Jeep Gladiator.

It's either a diesel or a Hellcat, which I am blindly assuming takes premium.

Taylor Scheinuk @taylorscheinuk.com

It probably does, though car companies have acknowledged the stupidity of their customers for a while now with ECU programming that detects fuel octane and pushes/pulls timing accordingly. Probably the funnier would be if it actually TAKES regular 87 but they put premium in it to "boost performance"

Russ, #1 Sean Dunn Stan @russ41.bsky.social

Not sure that'd apply to something as tuned-out-the-ass as a Hellcat, but we're way out in the weeds here; we're assuming they even know to fuel it up to begin with, which for someone in this market is not a safe assumption. And hey, better spent on premium fuel than straight pipes.

Slight deformation in any back wheel and I guess the rear half of the vehicle will just destroy itself.

Papa Rides A Bike @paparidesabike.bsky.social

I'm no car guy, but around 2000, it seems like they started chasing families instead of waterfalls. The jeep used to be super stripped down, narrow, & short. That's one of the things that made it good for off road. Then it got wider, longer, and then went from 2 to 4 doors, all to sell to families

Maybe. I drove one of the last models that was of the small variety. I think it was a 2003. It was a 6 cylinder and it got about 19 mpg, which was pretty middle of the road at that time. It was not a very heavy vehicle.
