    I recently saw one in Tennessee too, and I was pretty lucky I was wearing sunglasses driving by it! It was early afternoon, with clear skies all around lol

    For the record, the one I saw didn’t have a boot on it, yet

    I saw one of these for the first time the other day and was kind of awestruck at how dumb it looked in real life. I mean, I was never a big fan of the design but it really looked so much worse in person

        it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.

              I can see the Multipla being uglier than the Cybertruck because it looks like two differently-sized cars spliced together. However, there is no way I agree the PT Cruiser, Chevy SSR, and Aztec are uglier than the Cybertruck. Look at the Cybertruck again. It looks like a 10 year-old drew a truck on MS Paint using a mouse.

                Taste is subjective so if someone doesn’t like it that’s valid.

                For me, designs are successful based on the impression and experience they give people. The cyber truck to me gives off a futuristic vibe, it’s intentional, it’s a design that knows what it wants. Minimal polygons, minimal rounded edges. Uncommon material/finish. Visually striking, unique, memorable.

                I think the Aztec isn’t a good design because it wants to be futuristic but doesn’t go far enough. Because it’s trying to retain some traditional elements it looks like design by committee.

                My impression is the pt cruiser and SSR were intended to be modern takes on retro/classy designs from say, the 50s. In the sense that they’re curved they succeed, but the curves are in the wrong places and the curve radiuses are wrong. They look bubbly. They look like toys. The effect is amplified because they don’t have a lot of the fine detail that was present on old cars.

                  a design that throws any modern safety feature in designing overboard is a bad design. It’s ugly, and it will age even uglier. It’s an incredibly dangerous design for anyone not inside it, it should be banned.

              Mmm, I dunno. I kinda like this one, actually. It’s silly.

              The Fiat Multipla is pretty bad, though. Who thought a double-chin as a car was a good idea.

                Yeah I know some people like it. Only reason it was on my mind was my mom was talking about wanting one the other day and I had to look it up.

                I would probably take a pt cruiser just because of the reputational risk of driving a cyber truck - that people will think you’re an Elon stan. But purely from a looks perspective I think the cyber truck looks way better.

                  Bruh. Nobody can judge you for having bad taste if you don’t point it out.

      Was driving in a Houston suburb and had one overtake me on the right. Just gave it a super wide berth. I know my 24 year old Civic would shred like paper if that thing hit me.

      I’ve said something similar in other threads - after seeing other people say it’s worse in person, I was still surprised at how cartoonishly awful it looked when I first saw one. They look terrible in pictures, but so much worse in person. I saw one that was painted bright green and it was so bad that I burst out laughing.

    There is a point that you all will make Lemmy look like dick headed bullies to most people. Is that something your all gunning for?

    You cater exclusively to the easily grifted, surprising to find out that many of them will be deadbeats trying to scam you back.

          Diesel fuel would probably work ok, gasoline will evaporate and make it rust quicker.

          The way Elon’s politics have gone it wouldn’t surprise me if he started promoting fossil fuel use.

            Sorry to say, you’re basically wrong on all ends.

            Diesel exhaust is one of the quickest things known to cause cancer. And gasoline is like the quickest (not safest) to clean metal.

    Thank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.
