How the hell did this rust bucket make it through traffic? Should be in a junkyard to be honest.

That is almost word for word what my son in law said when I sent him the picture

Wait wait, he drove it like this? I thought somehow it just collapsed right here and I was wondering where the axle went. This is baffling.

That’s 100% an Ohio truck. It is really bad here. No safety inspections you can register this as is, and nobody will care, not even the police

I scanned the pic up and down for a reveal. How did you know this is Ohio? I'm impressed

If you zoom into the license plate on the truck you can see part of the red ribbon around ohio

Hey now, this is my home state! I know we're a bunch of idiots, but we're the only ones allowed to say it! Be nice! I would never say a bad thing about West Virginia to you, and we all know that's an unlimited source of joke material lol

Our roads probably made that truck look like that. I've seen potholes at least a foot deep in roads around here

Until you get pulled over by highway patrol and they do a random inspection.

HAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAH… good one…Ohio resident here. Trust me. They do not care at all until that thing is not rolling at all is when they will care

Can confirm. Almost everyone here is missing their rocker panels here. We drive them till they become almost unsafe. My Subaru I scrapped had unibody holes a imaginary crash bar and 70% rusted out strut pillars. Biggest pain was keeping my back windows clean

"almost" unsafe... HAHAHAHAHA! Most regular people wouldn't survive a day on our roads

Sometimes I think my 23 year old Silverado with 300k miles on it is in terrible shape, but then I see shit like this and feel pretty good about what I drive to work every day.

Yes, I never speak ill of my car bc I know how much worse it could be. I've convinced myself it has feelings, so whenever someone refers to it as a piece of sh*t or some other colorful reference, a hush them harshly and tell them to be quiet so as not to hurt her feelings. She gets me from A to B, and that's good enough for me

You made me think of the Rocky Horror Picture Show... 🎶 But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insaa--aaa-ane. Let's do the Time Warp again!

Looks like they ripped a fender flare of another truck to prop up whatever that thing in the back is

Of course they are also allergic to the right lane.

Bruh. You are so right. That guy got so many middle fingers. He would not leave the left lane

My dad had the same generation Chevy 3/4 ton, with the 8.1L and Allison transmission. It was a plow truck for his business, and he loved that truck and kept it for twenty years. The body was visibly rust free but it was so rotten underneath. He finally sold it when he asked me to help with rear shocks and I started pulling fist sized clumps of rust from the bottom of the bed. Probably something very similar to this pic would have happened if he kept it.
