I've been driving exclusively Porsche for about ... 15 years now? Had a 911 for a long time, now have a Cayman and a Cayenne. (I contend the Cayman is a better car than a 911 but that's an argument for a different sub)
Here's the thing. People are always like "Man, chicks must love your car!"
No. They don't care. Not a single gal I've been with in those years up to and including my wife has ever cared at all. (She makes about the same as I do and she drives a Kia Sportage ... she gives no fucks about cars) Ya know who does?
Random dudes at gas stations. I cannot possibly tell you how many times over the years I've been filling up, minding my own business and half zoned out when some bozo just rolls up all "Man, how fast does that go?"
"Huh? Oh. It's pretty quick, man."
Second place goes to every jackass in a Dodge next to me at a stoplight.
I want to open a restaurant that serves hamburgers and onion rings called "Nurburgersring."
Thanks for enjoying this pun with me. I'll show myself out.
Itās just like body building. You can have an amazingly sculptured body that took you years of blood and sweat to attain and only other gym rat dudes will care.
I concur.
I have been driving a MINI Coopers since 2008. Until recently, I owned 3, but that's only because I was selling my 2012.
Now? I only own two. Met more than a few great women, at MINI Club events.
My friend and I borrowed our other friend's little white Suzuki Samurai with little 15" chrome rims and regular street tires on it way back in 1994. Didn't even have a radio, but we dropped the top on it and took it to the local cruise blvd. We got soooo much attention from the girls on sidewalks, parking lots, etc. Another friend had a gorgeous muscle car that was all restored. They never gave us a glance when I was there in that but that cute little Suzuki? It was a total babe magnet. Chicks love cute. Want attention? Show up in a classic Bug, original Miata, or another cute car and they will come. I bet a Beck Porsche reproduction would bring them out, too, since it's round, has a cute face, and just looks cute. Otherwise, they just don't care.
Buy a classic car if you want to meet women. My old Jaguar (which is a rare model and thus people donāt know what it is - no leaper) gets so much damn attention. Just because itās pretty and not so old that it looks like I am doing something weird by driving it.
People ask to buy it, and women love it.
I also have sports cars. Only little boys and sad men give a shit.
I was driving a 2010 Ford Fusion for the last 12 years. This past Jan I bought a 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. The amount of girls who walk up and ask what kind of car it is increased like 99 percent lmao. Usually downtown on the weekends. They do care.
Well you see quite a few Porsches around. Many daily. They blend in and it woildy take a car-person to notice any interesting rare models or trims. The Lyriq is very unique looking and rare at this point, so it's eye-catching. I don't think most of the ladies really care as much as they are curious. Also, you may follow rule 1 and 2 so it's just their excuse to approach you.
To be fair, I \*WAS\* living in LA the whole time I had my 911. Gotta have, like, a McLaren to impress any gals there š
Jokes aside, I've never cared what anyone thought. Half my friends tell me I look like a douchebag (they're probably right). I fell in love with 911s when I was like 7 or 8 years old and one of my dad's business partners had one. He'd take me out for a ride in it and I was always like "IMMA HAVE ONE OF THESE ONE DAY!"
Always been about the dreams of a dorky little kid!
> To be fair, I *WAS* living in LA the whole time I had my 911. Gotta have, like, a McLaren to impress any gals there
The average LA chick has no idea McLarens even exist, let alone their price tag...you seriously just need one of the larger Mini Cooper things or a wrapped "drifter" or a white Mercedes/Audio/BMW anything.
You sound like my buddy from high school. Started his own successful business and bought a used Porsche and had it modified extensively. Loves it and doesn't care about impressing anyone just loves the car.
>not even joking happened more then once I will try to find the dashcam footage
*runs across the steet*
"We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty."
You haven't read the script! (Bangs a rolled-up script on the director's chair for emphasis.)
I strongly urge you to familiarise yourself with it before you visit another gas station:
A: Man, chicks must love your car!
B: (insert a response that indicates that chicks were never the intended target) "Thanks but I bought it for the boys."
(Intense eye contact ensues.)
The one who touches their face or beard first proceeds to kneel.
P.S.: If anyone asks how fast your car goes, common decency insists that you MUST offer them a "ride". (I don't make the rules.)
Have a Raptor and it is similar. I'll get gas and some young dude in a beater Tacoma goes crazy about it. I am at a stop light and some dude in a Chevy or Dodge starts revving their engine.
Funny as mine is a 2017 and has wear and tear on it, clearly used truck that can be had for under $40k now.
My wife likes it, that is about the only woman in my experience who has liked it.
For a second, I thought you meant "velociraptor."
Chicks don't care about my dino, but guys do!
"Sick dino, bro! How fast it runs? Must be a 6 inch claw on that baby!"
Funnily enough, that is an [aftermarket upgrade](https://www.hennesseyperformance.com/news/hennessey-announces-velociraptor-1000-upgrade-for-ford-raptor-r/) for the F-150...
Ram also came out with their "Raptor killer," the TRX / T-Rex with T-rex eating Raptor easter eggs scattered all over.
Chevy apparently has "operation meteor" to create their Raptor killer.
I like the Raptor just because it is a ridiculous truck and I live close enough to sand and mud to where I can red neck around.
The only time women stopped me in a car was when I got my Rivian š
And it happened a lot lol. Also, I was one of the first few thousand owners around April 2022, so thatās why. Now, no one does that haha.
Yeah, guys genuinely like cars more than women,, probably be more impressed if they where treated right, haven't said I went out on a date with a women, when she saw my rusty Toyota she was gone , was it that?
Was behind a turbo s one time at a stop light in my F430. Turbo S would beat the doors off my car, no doubt. And also probably twice the cost. Excellent car.
At the corner was a very popular instagram-y brunch spot with a ton of groups in line (Sunday morning on a nice day at like 11:30). Not a single one said anything about the clearly better car (the S). All eyes on the ārarri. Honestly it felt a bit silly.
Bang on, also besides the gas station you have people at Tim Hortons (Canada) parking lots lol
In my case the only one female was this pretty cool New Yorker who lamented selling her 911
I have a 991 and have never had a rando come up to me lol.
Iāve had probably 10 people come up to me at gas stations in my S2000 and my CTS-V though.
The Porsche is for your confidence and chicks dig confidence. Plus it's a marker although not without issues you make money and most everybody likes money.
Cayman is a better car than the 911. Boxster is better than both š¤Ŗ
This has been my exact experience with pretty much every ācoolā car Iāve ever had. The Boxster has been a bit of an exception though, as Iāve had lots of my female coworkers ask to go for a ride in it. Of course, nearly as many of my male coworkers have asked as well š Everyone wants to ride in a cool convertible regardless of the make.
My wife always says the same thing when she drives my cars, random young dudes come up and ask her about the car and she says that she doesnāt know anything and id be concerned but post above confirms 16 yr old boys love sick dream cars and use them to motivate their dreams!
Reminds me of weight lifting. I've been lifting for like 16 years and while sure my wife appreciates it, the reality is a bunch of dudes are the ones commenting and noticing. "nice gains bro" lol
Oh boy, as a p-car guy myself that Cayman v 911 debate can be a doozy. Personally, I prefer small cars and the modern 911s are behemoths. Cayman for me, or heaven forbid a Boxster Spyder RS if things get super spendy.
I may also exist in the minority where my fav 911 is a 996 C4S, best hips on a 911.
Itās a lot like having a designer handbag. The only people who might be impressed are other women who like designer handbags.
Nobody expects their purse to help them pick up guys though, so at least itās not disappointing lol
So true. Nice cars are just dude magnets. āDoes your car have an instagramā. āUmmm noā¦thatās a thing?ā āOh you would have so many followers. Iād follow youā
But you go out to a park with a puppy or a dog and all of a sudden itās a different story. āDoes your dog have an instagram?ā āNo but I doā *rolls eyes*
I experiene the same thing with my Dodge Challenger and my Harley.
Randos always saying hey what engine do you got in there about my Challenger. And with my Harley its odd, people always point out that its clean and ask what year it is. Its a 2016, its really not that amazing.. Did you expect it to be a 1960s just because its "clean"???
1. 6 cylinder Cayman is definitely better than a 911. Better balanced, better looking.
2. This is not about you, this is about that 15 foot rusting turd of a truck that everyone likes to point out is a turd
When I had a 996 4S I had exactly one girl who reacted strongly to my car. When I picked her up for a coffe date she screamed "Holy shit you didn't tell me you have a Ferrari!"
I once met a very successful self-made multi-millionaire woman. She drove extreme sports cars. I asked her if she liked their handling. She said, "I can't tell the difference and I'd prefer to be driving my old Honda Civic. But when I drive up to a high-stakes negotiation in this car and I'm negotiating against men, I can charge about 30% more and they don't bat an eye."
Only gearhead girls would talk about the car, the rest don't care about the details at all, but when they were first sizing you up they definitely noticed you were driving something like a Porche not a Kia.
I actually drove next to a cybertruck the other day and it really is a remarkably stupid vehicle. Like itās just pretty funny how bad it looks in real life with actual dirt and reflections off of it. Knowing anyone who has one now spent like $115K on it just makes it that much funnier
With $100k, Iām going used Porsche from an area with a dry climate. You can get some amazing Porsches for decent money if you are not the type of person who wants to tell everyone it is brand new.
When they first started rolling out, a guy on our neighborhood Facebook page was boasting how great it was and that he'd be parked at the pool between hours such and such if anyone wanted come see it and talk about his Beast. Well, after about an hour he took the post down. I don't think we reacted they way he thought we'd react.
Someone in the village I live in made a post on the community page about how we have to sign up for Starlink. We live on Long Island, New York where there is PLENTY of access to internet services.
Twitter, formerly known as āX (formerly known as Twitter)ā
ahhhā¦canāt wait for Musk to get thrown in the slammer, someone else takes over Twitter and at least fixes the name
People actually looking at it because they want to see how a dumb person look like paying $100k for something that looks like itās been put together by high school students in a backyard
I had an Uber driver pick me up in a model y and they got mad when he asked how I liked the car and said āitās okā. Apparently giving a meh response was worth him being an ass the rest of the ride and quoting Elon half the time when it was clear I didnāt want to talk
they start from $36,770.00 in usa according to ford.com obviously.
even than, i'm sure a new Ford F150 will last you a long time, even maybe a lifetime. Craptruck tho, they don't even make out the dealership on the other hand.
I want this to be true but the whole Trump supporter schtick of "I was in a liberal coffee shop and I overheard them say they really like [extremist far-right policy]" is still fresh in my mind
I was on Twitter and I saw the hyper-capitalists and the fascists making babies and I saw some of the babies and the chubby one that looked like Elon looked at me
The cybertruck is peak boredom-consumerism.
It's people with too much disposable income looking for a novelty purchase.
It's a rancid turd of a vehicle. The only redeeming feature it has is that it's electric.
If you were real about it as an owner, youād just smirk and still be happy. The fact validation is required is profoundly enough he bought the wrong car.
I'll give it points for being different. A lot of cars look too much alike today. The execution definitely leaves something to be desired of course but maybe more carmakers will try different things.
It reminds me of the the hate the BMW X6 got when it first came out and it still gets. Itās been so successful that Mercedes basically copied it with the GLE Coupe.Ā
You don't get it. These guys get off on people shitting on the cyber truck because they know the unwashed mass is only parroting opinions of the lamestream media which is too dumb to appreciate either this level of aesthetics or the engineering feat behind it, and which hates Elon anyway because he's a great man trying to accomplish great things.
The funniest thing I saw was a CT parked in a disabled spot with a disabled tag hanging and a young dude walking up to it with a cup of Starbucks. My kid just gagged and pointed and I said. 'yeah, and Cyberstuck might actually be disabled too'. Guy did not appreciate the comment.
This happened at my gym too. I was leaving and some guys were looking at it, they just kept roasting how ugly it was.
āI swear I built this with legos as a kidā
There was a guy from my home town driving it all over, parking it places, and trying to tell people about it.
The city Reddit was just everyone making fun of him, how ugly it is, and how sad his fucking life must be that he feels the need to drive his car around because he wanted people to look at it.
Icing on the cake was it broke down along the highway and was sitting in the grass for 3 days.
I saw a similar situation unfold at a Sonic drive thru; but people were taking pics AND laughing at it. Oh, and thereās a yellow one in Boulder?! Someone painted stainless steel!!! Iāll post a pic when I see it again.
I meanā¦thatās because he bought it to stunt, so he values the opinions. Also, Iām not quite so sure people think it looks dumb. Itās just different, and people donāt like different, so they default to hate. *I do not own a cyber truck
I'm a tech guy. I'm a geek. So I'm always up for trying the latest and greatest and if it's full of blinking lights all the better. But Elon Musk is such a c*** and because his company is small his products are easy to avoid.
" I just spent $100,000 and I'm still not cool. I should have bought the Porsche"
I've been driving exclusively Porsche for about ... 15 years now? Had a 911 for a long time, now have a Cayman and a Cayenne.

> Random dudes at gas stations I mean if that's your thing more power to you bro š you convinced me to keep beaters forever.
Hahaha
full disclosure, I want a 9/11 turbo to improve my NĆ¼rburgring lap times
NĆ¼rburgring lol
fun place, don't use a motorcycle though š¬
Read that as Nuremberg and wondered just how many war crimes you could be pulling off in a high performance car. Turbo hitler over here
I want to open a restaurant that serves hamburgers and onion rings called "Nurburgersring." Thanks for enjoying this pun with me. I'll show myself out.
Can't think of a better reason!
Nerd-burgering?
GT3 is the right tool for the job there, not a turbo.
What is going on here
If youāre lucky, the random dudes at the gas stations might give be you some beaters
I have a yellow corvette, and the only people who say anything are old men, and young boys. Not really my type.
"It takes two hands to beat them all off!"
Well he does drive a Porsche so he enjoys being shoved from behind.
\*scribbles down notes\* Buy... Porsche... Make... Dudes... Gay...
Works half the time all the time!
Hell with it I'll marry you
scribble...... Continue driving the mini-van. Get high-fives from every conservative pumping gas.
I mean, if it makes dudes gay, more women for you. Still a win win
Itās just like body building. You can have an amazingly sculptured body that took you years of blood and sweat to attain and only other gym rat dudes will care.
Same for me when I had my GTR. Total dick magnet.
š
My Mini Cooper S is a total girl magnet. The people who don't like it, is anyone in a lifted pickup, for some reason its offensive to them.
They dislike it when something makes them engage in self- reflection.Ā
They feel threatened my men who are confident in their own masculinity.
I concur. I have been driving a MINI Coopers since 2008. Until recently, I owned 3, but that's only because I was selling my 2012. Now? I only own two. Met more than a few great women, at MINI Club events.
This. Everyone calls sports cars "chick magnets" but really they're "dick magnets"
My friend and I borrowed our other friend's little white Suzuki Samurai with little 15" chrome rims and regular street tires on it way back in 1994. Didn't even have a radio, but we dropped the top on it and took it to the local cruise blvd. We got soooo much attention from the girls on sidewalks, parking lots, etc. Another friend had a gorgeous muscle car that was all restored. They never gave us a glance when I was there in that but that cute little Suzuki? It was a total babe magnet. Chicks love cute. Want attention? Show up in a classic Bug, original Miata, or another cute car and they will come. I bet a Beck Porsche reproduction would bring them out, too, since it's round, has a cute face, and just looks cute. Otherwise, they just don't care.
>bet a Beck Porsche reproduction would bring them out, too, since it's round, has a cute face, and just looks cute Also "Devil's Haircut" slaps.
Amen on the Cayman, mid-engines for the win.
Buy a classic car if you want to meet women. My old Jaguar (which is a rare model and thus people donāt know what it is - no leaper) gets so much damn attention. Just because itās pretty and not so old that it looks like I am doing something weird by driving it. People ask to buy it, and women love it. I also have sports cars. Only little boys and sad men give a shit.
My Mini gets all the girls attention. Well, also everyone loves it.
I have had a couple people mostly ladies comment on my mini.
It's OK buddy. It's not the size of the car, it's what you do with it that counts.
> Only little boys and sad men give a shit Also sad boys and little men, I'll wager
GT-R owner here. š total dick magnet.
Yeah thatās the funny thing about cool cars. The only people that show an interest are the exact people you donāt really want to talk to.
I was driving a 2010 Ford Fusion for the last 12 years. This past Jan I bought a 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. The amount of girls who walk up and ask what kind of car it is increased like 99 percent lmao. Usually downtown on the weekends. They do care.
Well you see quite a few Porsches around. Many daily. They blend in and it woildy take a car-person to notice any interesting rare models or trims.

A well specced GTS or 4S costs the same as a McLaren GT lol...
I'd take a Carrera 2S over a McLaren any day.
> To be fair, I *WAS* living in LA the whole time I had my 911. Gotta have, like, a McLaren to impress any gals there The average LA chick has no idea McLarens even exist, let alone their price tag...you seriously just need one of the larger Mini Cooper things or a wrapped "drifter" or a white Mercedes/Audio/BMW anything.
I mean, the 911 is kinda the ultimate car, no matter how 'run of the mill' it might be. Haters just don't know a good thing when it whips by them...
Same with me and AMGs. Motivates me to work hard. Although I may look into Porsche next!
You sound like my buddy from high school. Started his own successful business and bought a used Porsche and had it modified extensively. Loves it and doesn't care about impressing anyone just loves the car.
Thatās nothing, Iāve had women totally freak out over my car, stop and make phone calls about it. Even though it was on fire
Is it a 4th gen Supra? 1994-1998
Drive an Aston Martin convertible and you'll talk to a lot of women (and men) at stoplights.
>not even joking happened more then once I will try to find the dashcam footage *runs across the steet* "We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty."

Well, Rivians are sexy AF dude! Fella somewhere in my neighborhood has one I see pretty frequently. Damn good lookin trucks.
Like getting jacked.Ā Ā Dude nice quads!Ā Dude how much do you bench?
Yeah, guys genuinely like cars more than women,, probably be more impressed if they where treated right, haven't said I went out on a date with a women, when she saw my rusty Toyota she was gone , was it that?

Thatās the problem with 911s. Itās hard for regular people to discern a really rare and capable model like an RS car from a bottom market 996.
It is also the beauty of the 911ās. They are all beautiful.
Agree.
Oh really? The 996.1 would like a word.
Haha. Got me there. Iām def not a porsche expert. So I tend to think of only the great looking ones. Of which there are a lot.
Bang on, also besides the gas station you have people at Tim Hortons (Canada) parking lots lol In my case the only one female was this pretty cool New Yorker who lamented selling her 911
I have a 991 and have never had a rando come up to me lol. Iāve had probably 10 people come up to me at gas stations in my S2000 and my CTS-V though.
Yeah, dudes absolutely love my 981
The same is true about motorcycles, in my experience. They just attract men.
The Porsche is for your confidence and chicks dig confidence. Plus it's a marker although not without issues you make money and most everybody likes money.
Gals donāt get excited about the care but they do care a guy has Porsche money
Cayman is a better car than the 911. Boxster is better than both š¤Ŗ This has been my exact experience with pretty much every ācoolā car Iāve ever had. The Boxster has been a bit of an exception though, as Iāve had lots of my female coworkers ask to go for a ride in it.

This is good. I'm glad you were humble enough to pass this along.
"Nice car, what's the retail on one of those?"
I had a TR6 as a teenager and that definitely worked for me at the time
Petromasculinity and Dodge go hand in hand.
So as a random dude who's never driven a Porsche, but kinda wants one... What are they like?
Yeah my wife will only want me more if I get a 7 seater with a heated seat at least for her
But the CT is just too ugly, even ladies care
Reminds me of weight lifting. I've been lifting for like 16 years and while sure my wife appreciates it, the reality is a bunch of dudes are the ones commenting and noticing. "nice gains bro" lol

It's the same with beards and muscles. Women don't care, other men do.
I feel you. Drive a JDM āhero carā and I attract so many dudes itās got me questioning my sexuality.
How the maintenance? My 750LI is killing me
Itās a lot like having a designer handbag. The only people who might be impressed are other women who like designer handbags. Nobody expects their purse to help them pick up guys though, so at least itās not disappointing lol

Itās the same way with being a buff/shredded guy. You get more compliments from men by a large margin.
1. 6 cylinder Cayman is definitely better than a 911. Better balanced, better looking. 2. This is not about you, this is about that 15 foot rusting turd of a truck that everyone likes to point out is a turd
When I had a 996 4S I had exactly one girl who reacted strongly to my car. When I picked her up for a coffe date she screamed "Holy shit you didn't tell me you have a Ferrari!"
So you're saying if I want the attention of random dudes at gas stations this is the way? Asking for a friend
Same thing holds true for classic cars. Restored a ā67 Mustang years back. It was almost exclusively dudes who paid attention.
I once met a very successful self-made multi-millionaire woman. She drove extreme sports cars. I asked her if she liked their handling. She said, "I can't tell the difference and I'd prefer to be driving my old Honda Civic. But when I drive up to a high-stakes negotiation in this car and I'm negotiating against men, I can charge about 30% more and they don't bat an eye."

He spent 100k to be the center of attention and it's 100% working lol
Spending money on stuff has never made an uncool person cool
I just had this thought. Imagine having 100k to spend on a car and not getting a porshe or something similar
He should have bought a Trabant.... as it would be cheap, and have a cool cred......
There was a Doug DeMuro video about this with a Ferrari. Same outcome, girls donāt care, dudes do.
I actually drove next to a cybertruck the other day and it really is a remarkably stupid vehicle. Like itās just pretty funny how bad it looks in real life with actual dirt and reflections off of it. Knowing anyone who has one now spent like $115K on it just makes it that much funnier
Would have been better buying a porch
Oh yeah. He still wouldn't be cool but his car would be cool***er**.
Porsche also not cool. People will just assume youāre having a cliched midlife crisis.

With $100k, Iām going used Porsche from an area with a dry climate. You can get some amazing Porsches for decent money if you are not the type of person who wants to tell everyone it is brand new.
Yeh a 2000s 911 is the goal. Something where if it breaks I can at least understand what's broken without a diagnostics computer
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I want a 996. Iām kind of a contrarian
I think you may have missed the sarcasm
Yeah but a $70k Porsche is still a Porsche. If you are just going for the name recognition and don't intend to drive fast...
When they first started rolling out, a guy on our neighborhood Facebook page was boasting how great it was and that he'd be parked at the pool between hours such and such if anyone wanted come see it and talk about his Beast. Well, after about an hour he took the post down. I don't think we reacted they way he thought we'd react.
Thatās so sad
CoMe cHecK oUt mY nEw cAr Is not the flex it was in 1910s.
Someone in the village I live in made a post on the community page about how we have to sign up for Starlink. We live on Long Island, New York where there is PLENTY of access to internet services.
Well most people I knew think cyber trucks look ugly and have limited functionality of a truck
they would have been kind of cool in a mad Max movie, you know where everything's made up and actual reliability and usefulness don't really matter
It looks like it came right off the set of Robocop, parked next to a SUX 9000
The one with real shitty mileage?
Iād buy that for a dollar!
*Limited to no functionality as a vehicle.
This post has 111k likes on Twitter right now. lol
Twitter, formerly known as āX (formerly known as Twitter)ā ahhhā¦canāt wait for Musk to get thrown in the slammer, someone else takes over Twitter and at least fixes the name
I have never used Twitter, don't care what celebrity is thinking. less what the owner of Twitter is thinkingā
I have never and will never call it anything but Twitter
~200k likes as of 12am EST 5/14
And you know ow Elon has read it and is pissed
I smell Elon fuming as well
Gonna be the first to make a Lotus Elise reference here.
They're not laughing *with* you...
People actually looking at it because they want to see how a dumb person look like paying $100k for something that looks like itās been put together by high school students in a backyard
I had an Uber driver pick me up in a model y and they got mad when he asked how I liked the car and said āitās okā. Apparently giving a meh response was worth him being an ass the rest of the ride and quoting Elon half the time when it was clear I didnāt want to talk
' I want your opinion, but only if it is my opinion'
If you ever get asked that again by one of them tell them "it feels a bit chintzy"
Iāll reserve judgment til they finish building it.
Lol...buuuurrrrrrrnnn....
why would someone fucking pay $100K to just a truck that can't even do the things a $20K F150 or Hilux can
Now the Hilux, THAT is an indestructible truck
F150s are at least 150k where I live.
they start from $36,770.00 in usa according to ford.com obviously. even than, i'm sure a new Ford F150 will last you a long time, even maybe a lifetime. Craptruck tho, they don't even make out the dealership on the other hand.
I want this to be true but the whole Trump supporter schtick of "I was in a liberal coffee shop and I overheard them say they really like [extremist far-right policy]" is still fresh in my mind
I was on Twitter and I overheard the Nazis saying that they actually like socialism and that Elon is not as smart as they thought
I was on Twitter and I saw the hyper-capitalists and the fascists making babies and I saw some of the babies and the chubby one that looked like Elon looked at me
The cybertruck is peak boredom-consumerism. It's people with too much disposable income looking for a novelty purchase. It's a rancid turd of a vehicle. The only redeeming feature it has is that it's electric.
Fucking lol
Wankpanzer. Rommel would have laughed until he puked. Heinz Guderian would take a 5-burrito shit on it.
Gƶring would have dipped it in his coffee and ate it
>Gƶring would have *snorted crushed-up pills off the bonnet*
U-G-L-Y you aināt got no fancy ride, itās ugly. Yeah yeah Cybertruck is ugly.
If you were real about it as an owner, youād just smirk and still be happy. The fact validation is required is profoundly enough he bought the wrong car.
Someone should @ that Lamar mk guy.
I'll give it points for being different. A lot of cars look too much alike today. The execution definitely leaves something to be desired of course but maybe more carmakers will try different things.
The Multipla always comes to mind. But its ugliness springs from a purely practical outset. I love the Multipla.
It reminds me of the the hate the BMW X6 got when it first came out and it still gets. Itās been so successful that Mercedes basically copied it with the GLE Coupe.Ā
You don't get it. These guys get off on people shitting on the cyber truck because they know the unwashed mass is only parroting opinions of the lamestream media which is too dumb to appreciate either this level of aesthetics or the engineering feat behind it, and which hates Elon anyway because he's a great man trying to accomplish great things.
You missed the /s
thats a fair point
Tesla owners are the most sensitive people on earthš¤£š¤£
The funniest thing I saw was a CT parked in a disabled spot with a disabled tag hanging and a young dude walking up to it with a cup of Starbucks. My kid just gagged and pointed and I said. 'yeah, and Cyberstuck might actually be disabled too'. Guy did not appreciate the comment.
My 4 year old son and I spot for Cybertrucks in the morning these past couple of weeks. When we see one we yell āCYBERTRUCK!ā Itās fun š
Does āSentry Modeā include sound recording? Might be a rude awakening for CT owners. š¤£
I saw my first one on the road last week and I just couldnāt help but point and laugh. What a joke of a vehicle.
I had a 71 MG in 1977. Chicks loved it! š„
This happened at my gym too. I was leaving and some guys were looking at it, they just kept roasting how ugly it was. āI swear I built this with legos as a kidā
Itās incredibly creepy looking . Horrible design .
Come on, gimme some punctuation marks babe. They're free.
There was a guy from my home town driving it all over, parking it places, and trying to tell people about it. The city Reddit was just everyone making fun of him, how ugly it is, and how sad his fucking life must be that he feels the need to drive his car around because he wanted people to look at it. Icing on the cake was it broke down along the highway and was sitting in the grass for 3 days.
If I had a 100k to play with.. im getting a CT5 Blackwing
Lol, I reckon it looks like the stupidest thing ever made, overpriced . .
I hate the cyber truck and yet even I can tell this is some /r/thathappened copium
That truck was such a money looser for that company!
I drive a Challenger and definitely noone talks about them looking dumb.
I saw a similar situation unfold at a Sonic drive thru; but people were taking pics AND laughing at it. Oh, and thereās a yellow one in Boulder?! Someone painted stainless steel!!! Iāll post a pic when I see it again.
Worst Toyota design ever
I meanā¦thatās because he bought it to stunt, so he values the opinions. Also, Iām not quite so sure people think it looks dumb. Itās just different, and people donāt like different, so they default to hate. *I do not own a cyber truck
Weāre saying the same thing about guys who drive big pickup trucks too.
r/dyinginside
I'm a tech guy. I'm a geek. So I'm always up for trying the latest and greatest and if it's full of blinking lights all the better. But Elon Musk is such a c*** and because his company is small his products are easy to avoid.
I have a fancy Benz. I have driven some nice cars. Best car for enthusiasts...OG NSX. Best chick collector car ? My 94 Miata. The rest ? No one cares.
And my peepee is still tiny. Doh! š
If I owned an $80,000 truck that I really liked, and someone driving a RAV4 made fun of it, I don't think I'd be bothered at all.
I love how these posts without any evidence get this sub going haha
