I was going to say running a patriot down the national mall is as American as one can get! Can someone give this man/woman a medal ?!

So in the most cucked news of 2025 I’ll be getting an epic deal on a Chevy equinox Ev for commuting … it makes way more sense than another vehicle imo. It’s just my throwaway car with a one payment lease deal.

Effectively 280 a month with free fuel and ass whistlers

My friend's wife leased one for about the same price earlier this year. She's at 12k miles already

I didn’t know what this car was… honestly it’s a pretty nice looking vehicle. Def cuck life but maybe it opens up better future options.

I’m just trying to fill a need here. I can’t commute to work in anything fun without feeling like it’s being torn apart …

It's an electric SUV that was totalled by a tint job. It's ugly. Nowhere is there a Gullwing Mercedes, NSX, GTR or Italian classic in the making. Apples to apples it's not even a V8 Defender. Or anything your would ever keep off lease.
