In later follow-up she said her franken-truckla suffered electrical problems, rain leakage, and has been relegated to someone's backyard, rotting away under a tarp.

Sure, I mean it was a bit of a hack job. Doesn't detract from the fact that she did something quite unique, nor does it imply that this one posted by OP is any more rain proof...

You're kind of both missing the point. It isn't really about the truck. MAGAs should be bullied and abused as much as possible. The truck is only a good excuse to heap on more scorn. He could have driving a perfectly acceptable ride, and I'd still excoriate them. MAGAs are the only acceptable targets for bullying, and it should be savage.

They are a bunch of bullies who bully other people. Bullying is nothing new, if anything it's a mark of pride. No, what they can't deal with is not fitting in, somehow being different. This is why they are antivax. They would rather have dead kids than some neurodiverse weirdos. Also dead children give you a huge sympathy bonus, whereas a weird kid gets you uninvited from get togethers.

So, if you really want to upset them you have to point out just how weird their weird shit is.

Interesting perspective, I'm not sure I agree, but MAGAs are weird enough that it may well be true.

Yeah, they got really bent when Walz started calling them Weirdos, but then the Democratic Schoolmarms got involved and decreed that it was mean to call out Treasonous Racist Pedophiles for the Weirdos they are, and Dems stopped.

New rule: If it pisses them off, EVERYBODY do it! And don't stop until they cry. Actually, when they cry, slap them, and get meaner.

Guy needed a truck for work, and he got a big boner for Trump and Musk, and bought a SwastiKKKar. It quickly became apparent that it was completely inadequate for work, or anything else really, but at that point it had a resale value of less than zero, so he had no choice but to make it work.

He probably bought it used cheap. Dealers won't even take these on tradein because they don't sell.

IIRC, there was basically supposed to be an official version of this as an add-on. What happened to that?

Same thing that happened to the rest of Musk's bullshit.

There are two types of people that buy Teslas: People that buy them as Nazi jewelry People that buy them as Nazi technology

ngl, if it was cheap enough and I had a garage, I'd buy old ones to build a powerwall.

I don't like tesla or the people that bought them after mush was established, but i'd be more than happy to pay them 10% of the money they paid for 100% of the hardware and use it against the corporations.

If it goes down another 20K, it'll be priced at what it was originally promised. Another 40K off that and now we're talking good used truck prices.

There's also the scenario that he got a killer deal in a private sale from someone who just wanted to unload it at any price. They just didn't want to be seen driving it, or keeping it in their driveway.

I've met a few SwastiKKKar owners who claim they bought it before they knew Musk was a psycho, and would get rid of it, if that were possible. There is absolutely no used market for Teslas.

I wouldn't want one if it was given to me for free I'd be trying to offload it ASAP. I've heard news about people being trapped in their burning "Bulletproof" scifi refrigerator and dying. None for me thanks.

There's no such thing as a "killer deal" on a car that might burn you alive.

Ive never watched an episode of Top Gear... Is it worth it and does it hold up?

If you enjoy racist boomer humor, then yes.

Im a fan of Blazing Saddles... It's got a lot of racism throughout and the Boomers loved it. But I cant stand The Big Bang Theory or Monk, and every Boomer i know loves those shows. Steve Martin is a comedic genius -- he's a Boomer and popular with the Boomers. I liked Dave Chapelle and that shit was racist AF. So I dunno where I stand anymore.

Isn't that a literal definition of a killer deal?

https://www.reddit.com/r/massachusetts/comments/1r8lv00/spotted_in_the_wild/ That pic looked too jpg'd to be real, but I found another source.

If I ordered a contractor for a job and they showed up with that piece of shit in my driveway, I'd demand my money back even if I never paid them anything yet.

I mean, 'Blazing Saddles' mocked racism, not reveled in it.

Also btw, in case you don't know: 'Top Gear' was scripted entirely, including the car 'reviews'. They were sued by a company supplying cars for one episode, when the crew showed up with scripts detailing what would 'go wrong' with the cars at what time.

They're now calling themselves the heart of the internet?

She's a sane person and as such she did not.
