    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.

        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.

          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 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.

      there are enough valid reasons to shit onto he cybertruck that there’s no need for us to pretend this exact mod isn’t done to plenty of regular trucks

        Ya, but this is not a truck any more than the Hyundai Santa Cruz is a truck. It’s UTE. And anyone who does this to their Santa Cruz would also deserve to be mocked.

          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.

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

              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.

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

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