      I used to live in L.A. I didn’t modify my car, but I did glue a bunch of magnets to the feet of plastic dinosaurs and stick them on my car’s roof. Some jerk stole them while I was at UCLA doing a video shoot.

      To be fair, you find those in Mexico as well.

      Question is though: how the fuck is this street legal? Any accident that this car will be involved in will have more and ornheavier casualties because of those mods.

      I don’t want to be hit by a car, but I definitely don’t want to be hit by this street legal meat shredder.

      I even less want to be hit by this “don’t budge a bit for no good reason” Tesla monster truck thing

          Yeah, can you imagine? People actually wanting not to die needlessly because you have the need to show you really don’t have a tiny penis…

          Up until quite recently people had an actual interest in car safety. Musk throws all that out of the window and when people say it’s shit (it is) dummies like you think it’s a weird scared internet nerd thing or something.

          Here is some news for you: people die in car crashes.

          Gosh, really?

          Yeah, they do! They also die a lot more in the US where regulations are for pussies and big boys with definitely not tiny penises can show how big their penis really is! USA! USA!

          So yeah, designing cars to be safe is a thing. Wanting cars to be safe is not weird, it doesn’t make me a hermit, it makes me quite a normal human being. You, on the other hand, should really read up on car safety, you dummie.

              Oh look, it doesn’t understand that the entire car is deadly and it’s succeeding in being dumb.

                You’ve managed to build a very wordy rebuttal against roughly 30 statements not even made, while jerking yourself off over how clever you are. I think I know why you can’t leave your basement. Your last reply there doesn’t even make contextual sense.

    It’s as if Elon sat around with his billionaire buddies and made a bet that he could make the ugliest joke of a truck and still sell it to the Elonites. He won. Dear god that is one fucking ugly truck.

        Real question: how can you tell the difference between rust and a supposed patina that forms and changes over time? I’m not talking about Cybertrucks, those are just rusting. But some chromium based metals supposedly can do this over time and can look like rust initially. Does rust usually cause pitting or flaking?

          No, patina is a thin layer of oxidation on top of the actual material from contact with the air.

          Rust is corrosion from air + moisture, and causes pitting and flaking. Patina should just sit over the surface, but not distort the thing it’s on.

          There is more nuance to it, but patina is on top, rust is the actual thing turning into rust

            Thanks. I’ve got a metal decoration made from weathering steel that has what appears to be rust spots all over it. Allegedly it will do this onto the entire surface and eventually fade into a darker color. But it’s been pretty slow. But no putting or flaking at least.
