I don't see anybody else mentionig this so: this is acutally an E38 - so a 7 series not a 5 series
Whatever, car nerd.
I'm into cars. They all have personalities and behaviours. I often see cars and think, "When it rolled out of the factory on its first day, did it ever imagine that one day it would be like this?"
"What am I going to be when I grow up?"
"You're going to ferry an old business man off his estate twice a month, then be sold to an Uber Black driver that won't look after you so you'll blow blue smoke and eventually be sold to a scrap yard for parts."
"Oh... 😔"
"And what about me? What will I be?"
"You're going to have three 122mm rocket launchers strapped to you and you'll help liberate a nation."
"...😲"
Or that 1 truck:
"You'll be bought by a texan plumber to use as a business vehicle, only to be later sold and somehow end up in the middle east helping isis with Mark's Plumbing still written on the side and a heavy machine gun mounted to the rear"
Hey can't beat that advertising
It actually caused a lot of problems for him, because people thought he was an ISIS supporter.
Yeah people are dumb
Or that apecar from a couple of days ago:
"You'll be bought from a farmer trying to make a living, then you'll be sold and somhow end up carrying rocket tubes on your poor 50cc engine"
They managed to fit something into the trunk of a BMW coupe? I thought that was impossible.
I have to disagree with you man. I've transported so many bodies in the back of a BMW coupe and i can't begin to stress how wrong you are. Any serial killers considering a mercedes just stop. A BMW coupe can fit 2 unalived persons with absolute ease.
Twisted Metal: Ukraine
Now the question is: is this a technical?
A golf cart with an expended LAW tube, welded to the back, and used to launch as many motars as it can before one blows inside and kills it's operator, is a technical.
Any motorized civilian vehicle augmented to kill shit in war is a technical. Except maybe VBIED's, that I'm not sure about.
Which means that's the question you should be asking: was a technical used in Oklahoma City bombing?
The only place the OK City bombing was considered a war was inside Timothy McVeigh's diseased mind, so I would contest that his rental van was not a technical, but mostly on a technicality.
Since when do both parties have to agree there at war, for it to be a war?
McVeigh and his fellow militiamen, or conspirators, felt they were at war with US government.
I'm sure there's countless people living throughout the Horn of Africa, who feel they are at war with the US government, while the US government would deny that wholeheartedly.
Does that mean any of their pickup trucks with M2 Browning's mounted in the bed, are not actually technicals?
Technically, yes.
Typical BMW driver: Forget flashing their headlights to move people out of the way on the highway—now they’ve got a 122mm rocket launcher for that
No need to blow through stop lights when you can just blow them up.
Least impractical tuned BMW
When noncredible and shittytechnical give birth
that's rather credible as far as it goes. this thing is probably used for nuisance raids
Least reliable and highest maintenance costs of any light artillery.
The new Toyota hilux
Well I mean once you've blown your load you need to be able to GTFO as fast as possible.
So far the comfiest option of shoot n scoot I have seen. And the fuel efficiency is also only slightly worse than the big MLRSes.
Can't wait for that new modern warfare to drop. Get the Lambo dlc.
"WITNESS ME!"
To Valhalla!!
This week, on: Ripple-fire My Ride
NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
