    I mean is it really a truck?

    There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.

    Like, if you can’t put a 2x4 in it, is it a truck? Is an el camino a truck?

    IF a cybertruck is a truck, is a Pontiac Aztek a truck?

        I mean, the el Camino caught a lot of flak when I was young. I remember my “surfer/ stoner/ slacker/ loser” gen x cousin who was a pool guy used his as a work vehicle and I guarantee that guy was SMASHING with that ride. I’m not saying a cyber truck truck is on that level and but some things take time to catch on.

    Investing in a license plate from Maine that just says “Event” and driving around at low speeds while smoothly sliding on and taking off my sunglasses was also probably not helpful.

    People being assholes over it is dumb, but I can’t say I would want one. I saw one recently at my local grocery store and I couldn’t stop thinking how poorly built it looked. It just seemed like the fit and finish of the body panels was kinda bad. I got an overall feeling like it was something put together by a couple of teenagers in metal shop.

        I find all these comically oversized pickups obnoxious.

        The cybertruck is just the latest, most obnoxious model to date.
