Just saw this while leaving the gas station. No further details.

While I'm here, we've also had this Lightning McQueen in the neighborhood for a bit now.

In my old apartment parking lot, I once saw a red car with giant "SUPREME" decals on each side

I'm a little annoyed that the sponsors on the Lightning McQueen care are inauthentic by way of being authentic. I suppose I can respect the main logo which appears to be for the paint shop which presumably did the work, but come on. Where's the Rust-eze livery?

Perhaps a friend told him to invest in Pokemon cards and he misheard?

I'd be willing to bet that's a "24 hours of lemons" car. It never had any value...

Looks like there is a Lemons event in West Virginia this weekend, so quite possible. This sighting is in eastern Pennsylvania, but right by the turnpike entrance.

I used to see a Jetta parked near my spot with a Nazi eagle gripping a VW logo. I think that's a different type of Supreme logo though. Was always very tempted to interact with that particular vehicle. 🀨

I think it must have just been someone's "friend" and not someone who lived here, and thankfully I haven't seen it in a few months.

I thought it was actually a smashed car being towed at first and I was looking at how the trunk would have gotten smashed like that until I noticed the overall theme πŸ˜„

I feel they tried to make it blend in, as it doesn't look like their regular logo:

They should have at least put Rust Eze on the side though.

This may seem shocking to you, but some people make decisions for human reasons, not financial reasons.

The headlamp is all covered up in sticker, this probably isn't a street legal car and just for fun. Probably a beater they bought.

fwiw where I'm from you don't need headlights for daylight driving. or seat belts, doors, turn signals (use hand signals), windows, hood, trunk...

It’s a drift car. Resale value is not important when it’s eventually going to get slammed into
