Is there any backstory? For all we know the car owner just did something horrible and the truck owner has blocked their escape until the authorities arrive.
Yes. This was originally posted on Reddit and has since been resolved a while ago.
Cool way to get me to break every window on your shitty truck.
Maybe that is the trick. Set up a camera and record. Now they have footage of you commiting several crimes.
All it takes is a big hat and sunglasses and maybe a covid mask and they can’t prove it was you.
Alright

A tire valve stem removal tool is a few dollars.
A knife is way better and u probably already have one
Knife is not way better, it’s actually a pretty dangerous way to deflate a tire.
Four nice sturdy nails placed strategically, pointy end up, immediately behind each tyre. Be content to know that justice will come when the time is right.
Make sure to put them on the corner of the tire, then it won’t be repairable and they it will need a new tire.
Strike-anywhere match heads are ~⅛" wider than the space between the pin and collar of said valves, and are far cheaper. The slow leak is nearly imperceptible — until all wheels are flat simultaneously. 🫠
I all of you immediately suggesting keying and shit makes me.
I think you accidentally a word…or six

no shit the offender drives a pavement princess pickup truck
Considering I don’t see a lift kit, expanded exhaust, and giant low-profile tires; this just looks like a regular pickup truck to me. The luster on the paint is even a little faded, so it’s getting old. Driver is just an asshole here. Probably a shitty driver, since the rear bumper is hanging at an angle.
dude, a pickup truck is terrible no matter how you qualify it, they’re needlessly huge and have barely any cargo space, they’re just objectively bad in every single way.
there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck, they even come in actually usefully lifted versions that would traverse offroad environments better since they’re lighter.
there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck
I like the mini-trucks like the Kei, they are practical and useful for light loads around town. What they don’t do is heavy loads and / or long distances.
So here’s a “use case” where my full sized American pickup truck is required. Several times in the last 6 months I’ve pulled a triple axle trailer weighing 12,000lbs (5,440 kilograms) a distance of 200 miles (320 kilometers) at an elevation of 6,000 feet (1,828 meters) ). Assuming the weight didn’t collapse the rear axle or buckle the frame on a Kei then trying to actually pull the weight would certainly destroy the transmission and / or engine.
If you want to discuss “cargo space” then ALL pickups, including the Kei, suck. Holding cargo internally is what van bodies are for, not pickup bodies. This why city based tradesman the world over drive chassis with van bodies.
So called “Off Road” is a whole different can of worms, nearly no one really does it (even if they think they do) and I’d submit that NO mass produced pickup is truly suited for it as real Off Roading is done with vehicles specialized for the terrain they are working in.
Mini-trucks are great at what they’re meant for but they aren’t meant for everything.
Are you seriously saying a fucking kei truck is more useful than a pickup?
You’ve never done a day of blue collar work and it shows. That chintzy little JDM truck can’t do half of what America’s work force needs.
Unless you’re talking about towing other cars and carrying entire trees yea a kai probably wouldn’t make the cut but for furniture transportation fire wood mail delivery and mulch transportation are all things that take way less horsepower than you think hell even with car towing I’ve done with a dinky little 4 wheeler from the 80s if a atv can do all the things I mentioned a kai can absolutely accomplish them and you don’t take up soo much space when you take your haul through the city the reason everyone hates full size pickups is because soo many people just use them to get groceries and nothing more
It’s good as a shop truck sure. But most American CARS have double the payload weight of a kei.
They have a place, but what I was responding to was nonsense. Pickup trucks are a necessity for tons of work. A lot of crews doing different work haul trailers full of their tools and material.
so what’s so magical about the US that people need pickups there but not in the rest of the world? If you need to haul tools you have a van, which can carry a vastly larger volume without getting things wet.
I’m not going to sit here and argue workforce necessities with you.
Your statement was false, that’s it. Pickup trucks are an immutable necessity for the vast majority of workers in America.
Cope harder.
Yeah, that’s an insane comment. I regularly tow an 8,500 lbs trailer with my pickup and regularly haul 2,000 lbs of pellets for our stove in it. Sometimes I tow the trailer with an additional 500 lbs of stuff in the bed of the pickup. I seriously doubt a kei truck - which aren’t even available here in the US - could handle either of those tasks.
Yeah, the post reads like someone who’s never done any manual labor in their life.
I’m their mind pickup trucks were being used to haul paper and poster board to their office job. Hahahahaha
And let’s face it, there are quite a few pickups around that have never hauled anything. But to claim they can’t haul anything is just bizarre.
Agreed. My argument is not that pickups are also owned and not used to their full potential.
My argument is that pickup trucks are the affordable workhorse of America. You can pickup a cheap second hand truck and beat the shit out of it while getting the job done.
Need to demolish a concrete structure at a customers house and dispose of it cheaply? Have you workers toss the rubble into the bed of your $5000 f150 to dispose of yourself. You wouldn’t want to do the same into a vans cargo space with all your tools.
Most work trucks in America tow a trailer full of tools and other materials that can’t get messed up, that’s why it’s really handy to have a bed attached to the truck for waste or extra tools.
If you live in a village and don’t have to haul much weight or drive far, sure, kei trucks make sense. I definitely saw them around Germany and France. In the US, everything is spread out. Also, kei trucks aren’t widely available in the US, and certainly not as much as Pickup trucks. Pickup trucks are also designed with use as a daily driver, since most people buying one will have that as their only vehicle. For someone with a great need of one, it’s both a highway vehicle and an off-road capable vehicle with high ground clearance. It’s a truck that will let you tow a trailer full of equipment one day and make that 50-mile commute to work the next.
No you don’t understand everyone who drives a pickup is bad no matter what fuckcars told me so
Just… talk it out maybe?

Where do I get one of those saws to keep in my trunk?
It’s an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. You can get one from any hardware store.
This will work great, especially if you hit the gas tank or lines.
Looks like someone’s tires need to get slashed
Tire inflation valve cores are surprisingly easy to remove.
Yeah but then you’re even more stuck because now the truck is stuck as well…

You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.
Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.
Deflated tires don’t explode, that’s overfilled
If you have a flat and try driving on it: that’s on you for destroying your rims and tire
An under inflated/flat tire can absolutely spontaneously come apart, and at the RPMs it’s spinning it for all intents and proposes “explodes”. As large pieces of rubber will fly out at speeds that can decapitate someone.
But hey, let’s argue about the semantics instead of telling people to not kill people for petty revenge. If you can’t think for 2 seconds and come up with a way how an underinflated/flat tire could kills someone, you’re probably one of those idiots that drove with under inflated tires.
I don’t find your reasoning compelling, it takes less than 5 minutes for the tire to deflate and modern vehicles have pressure warnings on the dash. So your scenario requires a whole bunch of corner cases happening at the same time.
of course you shouldn’t engage in petty revenge but if anyone chooses to do so they should know how to it without hurting themselves.
That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.
Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.

I’ve deflated thousands of those tires by pulling the valve cores. It’s fine.
Just call a tow truck. No need to resort to revenge. Them having to retrieve the truck and pay the fees should be enough of a deterrent without giving them reasons to call the police.
They’d have to prove you did it in the first place. Sure, you may have the motive, but “innocent until proven guilty”. But yeah, the other owner could be a vindictive asshole and it would just start a war.

Even better. I didn’t think towing was more than a couple hundred dollars.
I think they meant the person who calls for the tow has to pay upfront.
Huh? Just have the people responsible for the parking garage call the tow truck.
Looks like a parking garage of some sort. Property owners most likely already have a contract with a tow company for parking violations. Should be able to call the property manager to get it towed or call the towing company whose number is probably one of many signs there.

If it’s illegally parked and you’re not the property owner you definitely don’t have to pay to get it towed
Not everyone can afford a couple hundred dollars to get at an annoying neighbour
It shouldn’t cause the victim anything for this. Just get the parking garage people to call the towing company.
I had a similar issue with a truck and just called my apartment, they had them towed at the car owner’s expense. That’s usually the best option is contact whoever owns the garage or property management and they’ll get the asshole towed on the asshole’s dime usually.
Not if you slash two or more tires 😈 Tires are around $100-200 a piece to have mounted and balanced, and that’s usually either a used tire or a bottom of the barrel one. If you slash one they can replace it with a spare (assuming they have one). If you slash half or more of them they have to get the vehicle towed and have the tires replaced, that takes a lot of time and money. That could easily be like $600, getting your vehicle released from the tow yard if you pick it up within 24 hours is usually only like $150.
sounds like a towin ’
Read that in the voice of Jasper from the Simpsons.
Where I live, they make you pay for the tow up front which sucks.
It does make sense to have the person who wants the tow to pay for it rather than the whole extortion racket it becomes when the owner of the car pays for it. Even when illegally parked, it should be a ticket from law enforcement rather than essentially grand theft auto unless you pay whatever amount they ask for or do a grand theft auto back to them.
Around here if it’s a parking lot, management has to call it in, simple as that. Management fines or gets their money from the renter. If it’s your vehicle, well you would have your insurance and parking spot title if you needed a service tow.
The car is over the line. Contact your condo board with a picture. If this is a one time thing, he may have been drunk on too many beers.
Oh well it’s alright then as long as he was drunk driving. I would hate to think that he was sober when he did it that would be terrible.
Of courses, because it demonstrates intent. I didn’t say it was alright.

Garages aren’t always large enough to allow tow truck access.
There was that one issue where a Tesla broke down in a garage and the owner incurred thousands of dollars in fines but nobody could remove the car because the ceiling and ramps were too small.
If it’s a persistent problem, and a tow truck isn’t an option…
Get a set of cheap car dollies, then you can move it out of the way. THEN you can place it perpendicular to the parking spots with the bumper at that support beam and he’ll be stuck until the blue car leaves.
I’d put the truck between the pillar and the wall if short enough, so they couldn’t get out without tow truck.
Or car dollies
I think the better option is to start by moving it to the correct spot twice then the third time pull the evil. They’re truly asking for it if they don’t stop after the first or second time their truck isn’t where they parked it
I don’t get it. What beam?
pillar
OOOHHHHH, okay. Thanks!
This is deliciously evil, I love it
