I can just imagine the problems you’d have driving this monstrosity in the city. There are some streets through which it just wouldn’t fit. And can you imagine trying to parallel park this thing?
The owner of this ridiculous pimped ride is some foreign diplomat living in Rabat, Morocco – who is probably claiming diplomatic immunity from the country’s traffic laws.
