I have seen one nearly as ridiculous as this one, on the road in Cullman, AL.
They're out there.
Here's a little food for thought...
As big and stupid as the F#50s are, the square footage they use up is limited, and generally no bigger than a 3-row SUV.
You know the gas mileage that every super car gets? Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens... All in the neighborhood of 7-10MPG.
These monstrosities are around 12-15, they are all more efficient than your average supercar, and not bigger than your suburban soccer-family-mobile.
Not defending stupid, just putting stupid into perspective.
Ferrari SF90 Stradale has 51 MPG in hybrid mode and 18 MPG in petrol only mode. SUV from Lamborghini, Urus, has 20 MPG. The fuck did your get your imaginary numbers out of? Your ass?
Ah yes, using a hybrid high-efficiency supercar to shit on an everyman's pickup. Totally reasonable.
It wasn't me who started that. Trucks are cancer. Especially inefficient American penis compensating trucks.
Look at pre-hybrid if you care about comparing apples to apples. Hybrid f250 has 25mg. You've never driven one long enough to refill a tank, the way mpg numbers are measured is much closer to how you'd drive a big truck day to day to your kids daycare and soccer practice than how you drive a two seater.
