OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

[Desertbreh]

Even if I was doing it for the attention, the top end CyberTruck costs as much as a Z06 Corvette. I think I'd rather get thumbs ups in the Vette than thumbs downs in the Shed.

I saw a cybercuck driving in uptown Charlotte this AM. I was on a bike “highway” uptown the city built, that apparently is for cops to park and people to host run clubs . Anyway, I came face to face with it as it sat across the red light from me. I was overcome with emotion and felt the need to do something, so I extended my arm towards them and gave them a thumbs down. Couldn’t see the driver through their tinted windows, but I hope he saw me.

The thumbs down is very funny.

I still haven't seen one, I guess I'm just lucky like that.

Ive seen maybe 6 cybertruck in my cali trip and just yesterday i spotted my first cybercuck locally. Looks like a dude in his 50's driving his cottonball mom around. I have a feeling he felt like a kid on christmas

I’ve tried to get in the habit of throwing a thumbs down instead of flipping other drivers off when they pull shit stunts. It’s great. Rather than inciting more road rage, they usually just look a little sheepish after seeing it. It keeps my blood pressure lower too as I don’t find myself getting as worked up doing it.

Judgment without anger.

Dude, the thumbs down is my new flex out and about in Charlotte. I’ve done it exactly 3 times today. Once in a car, once on my bicycle, and once while walking. Each time it evoked the same reaction from the driver. They weren’t angry, but they looked at me as if I was their dad who just caught him doing something they shouldn’t be doing and we’re in trouble.

Saw one last week on Providence. Looks like a shiny dumpster.

I've been doing thumbs down for years. Love to see it

[max225]

hearing rumors that the shiny dumpster is going to be price reduced to the advertised 79/99k price points down from the current 99/119 "foundation" bs

It's fucking wild how Tessie does this. It's even wilder that people are dumb enough to buy these types of things on the flip for like $150K+ when they will be worth $80K in a year once the market is flooded and you can buy a new one for that.

I still haven't seen the Shining Dumpster though. I'm not a religious man, but God is really watching out for my eyes!

They are kind of interesting. Since they don’t have a dealer network, they have the pricing set from the get go. Where as a Toyota is trying to get 95k for a pos fake Land Cruiser

[Melon2.0]

For some it's worth the price to have the first one in town.

No hate on that, market economy gonna market economy.

If you put a positive number in that spot, the dealership magically makes MORE money!
It's a magical money machine!

Love that Toyota logic ….
Chop off 4 cylinders …
Chop off 2 seats
Chop off legindary simplicity and reliability
Charge MORE no one will fucking notice

Now you're getting it. You have a real knack for marketing.

[max225]

Gotta love a coarse 4 banger from a Camry, coupled with some shitty hybrid components that still make it have less mpg than an F150 with a twin turbo V6 and 0 hybrid bullshit…. And they are trying to get nearly the same money (post markup)

Yeah the whole 4 cylinder thing can suck it. Much like the new Colorado. Errbody LOVES this truck, MT truck of the year, blah blah. ZR2 starts @ under $50K. And yet, errbody says the 4 cylinder turbo sucks. It sounds terrible and gets TERRIBLE, V-8esque fuel mileage. You can't have a great truck without a great engine. Period.

man... as a long term owner of a turbo four equipped ... it is better than a natty six. Does sound heinous though.

I get it, and hey, this is America, spend your money on what you want. Hell, I did that to an extent with the 86, could've waited six more months and had it for less.

Still though, $70K is a lot of dough to 'enjoy' an extra six months of cutting your kid's hands on a silver dumpster.

It's the shitty gas mileage that kills me. The Jeep is efficient for what it is. If you're gonna get 15mpg, you should have brubs.
