Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #3

Not to mention the SC from his IG story looks like the tires stick out a good 6-8" minimum from the body.  So it's wider than a normal 150 because of the tires.

Regardless, if he's blocking access to a handicap spot I don't care how big, small or normal sized the truck is, just that he stops.  It's not right.

My SUV actually stands a little taller and is the same body length, which I know because my husband's F150 sits in the drive beside my car. There are many truck models that are larger. An F150 is basically an average size truck. He has large tires on it, but not so large as to qualify it as a 'monster truck.'

You can get different sizes though. Knowing Arie, he probably got the biggest he could get just because. JMSO.

Yeah, just because he knew he could block the handicap stall

Unless he's not. Were there photos? I'm sure those will be forth coming if it's habitual.

I tend to think most people that drive these big trucks (without a need - as in they aren’t farmers or something similar)... you have some douche in you.  

Overgeneralization, maybe. But so many of these truck drivers are unnecessarily aggressive on the road. Just my observation.

If he blocks a handicap space, then there is absolutely no excuse for it. Like Kasha, I think the poster should provide proof if she's going to throw accusations around on a public forum. That's just basic human decency.

I’m joking. I said myself I was overgeneralizing. 

I do think a lot of these pick up drivers are unnecessarily aggressive on the road.

I was laughing too...the fact that he has a big truck and that he jacked it up. First thought that popped into my head....someone is overcompensating.

@sosleepy I think people who drive small sports cars are the overly aggressive, dangerous drivers. We all have our own opinion, so we can agree to disagree about truck drivers.

All I know is that judging by Google Maps those three parking spaces with the handicapped one in the middle are right across the street from Arie's place and right next to the neighbour's condo (if she really took that pic of Arie with the dogs from her porch). So I can totally see why she'd be annoyed by seeing his truck there day after day. It makes sense to me. She also mentioned the parking issue a month ago already when she posted some other gossip about Arie, so I guess it's a running lie then, if it's a lie. I tend to believe her, but that's JMO.

It would suk so badly to have a neighbor who thinks it's her duty to post gossip about you online. I think Arie needs to buy a house with a good sized garage where he can keep his toys where they belong, and not have miss nosey pants spying on him.
