Today's Shoot: Dodge Ram Monster Trucks

[cawimmer430]

The snapshots speak for themselves. These cars were all tuned and set up by Auto Magnus of Munich. These are their creations.

I took a few pictures of my car next to the Ram so you can see how "small" it is.

I drove a Ram the other day.  I walked away asking myself, "Why is this thing so BIG?"

[Rupert]

Great, now Europe has penis trucks, too.

A jacked up Ram went around the last autocross I was at. He got fourth place! Out of 4 trucks.

[Rupert]

The 3/4 ton Rams are great trucks, though.

[Catman]

What? No truck nutz?

Can't believe they let him run.  We won't let anything that tall, relatively to its width run (per SCCA rules).  We had somebody with an SRT Grand Cherokee show up and try to run and we had to turn them away.

[hotrodalex]

I was a little surprised too. Probably due to the difference in course design and lower speeds. He was also smart and didn't push it very hard.

Yeah, they're huge. I don't know where German owners park these things given how most garages, private and public, are so damn small.

We have guys with small dicks here, too!

I am sure that the TÜV didn't approve.

I hate it when I see jacked up trucks with dubs and low profile mud terrain tires.  They will never see dirt.  Stupid.

I have to confess that I do find the white one very attractive. It's tastefully done.

Muddin' is stupid anyway.

[Madman]

Dilapidated concrete buildings, poorly maintained road surface, illegible graffiti, Dole sign in the background and a ridiculous redneck truck badly parked.

Are you sure you aren't in America?   

EDIT: Even the guy standing there looks like he can pass for a "good ol' boy"!

The client requested a run-down and dirty location with graffiti on the walls. I had to search a bit for this specific location and get a shooting permit. I'm glad it worked out! 

Those Ram's are fun to drive, though. For some reason my dick "feels bigger" when I drive one of those things. 

[Rupert]

It's the excessive vibration in the seats.

Nah, that gas-guzzling 5.7 HEMI V8 is smoooooooooooooooth. It just likes to roar when you feed it.

What?  You only got the dinky 5.7?  Everyone knows a REAL man would have gone for the 6.4.  Pussy!   

[pendyman]

So, who is doing this graffiti? It's not something I would expect to see in Germany, although I may be being naive.

I'm personally not a fan of using other people's property as your personal canvas, but some of the stuff is pretty good.

[Rupert]

Graffiti is awesome if it's not just stupid tags and the artist is decent-ish. I'd be stoked if my building got reasonably tastefully graffitied.

Not sold imported here.

Isn't there also a gasoline V10 engine from the Viper available for the RAM?

The client wanted a run-down location with graffiti on the walls. This was the only one I knew off in Munich that was also big enough to shoot three massive pickups in.

We had a permit to shoot there. It was all legal. Not sure who did the graffiti. This location is across from a train station and the whole area is full of graffiti. My guess is that kids cross the tracks at night and spray paint the walls...

Used to be, but I don't think you can buy a new one with a V10 anymore.

[Laconian]

I remember the C&D review for that. It was a magazine rendition of Hannity and Colmes, where Patrick Bedard said "this is ridiculous" for a page and Brock Yates wrote two pages of "LIBRULLLLLSSssss".

They are EVERYWHERE here in Utah. Douche trucks.

They need to source a V12 TDI for this baby from VW AG!

[sparkplug]

These are huge pickups. But they're great on the farm which is about what .5 of a percent of trucks are used for.

They're fun to drive. I like driving those RAM's when there's enough space around me.

[SVT666]

I have no idea why they need to be so damn big now. I had a 2005 Ram and it was a monster in comparison to the 1992 GMC pickup I had, yet I didn't feel it was any more functional (except for rear seat legroom).  It was so big that my wife absolutely refused to drive it in the city.
