I worked the ER for a smaller hospital in the past and one evening I was called in because a father had ran over his own son with one of those pickups. The kid ran out to greet him but the father couldn't see his own kid because the lifted pickup's hood was too high.

I sincerely hate those wanktanks with all my heart and soul

I will be using wanktank going forward, maybe adjusting it to "yankwanktank" for the especially egregious American monstrosities.

wank tank for the vehicle, wank tank yank for the zealots that drive them
