The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I guess any vehicle you can’t afford can scream rich asshole if you’re bitter enough

I may be a boomer but at least I don’t spend my days hating shit.

It depends on the car. If I see a nice looking expensive car I don't think they're an asshole. Seeing something amazing is a treat for a gearhead like me, no matter how bitter I am.

The Cybertruck, however, is ugly as fuck. Unless your aesthetic is 80s low-poly video games it is even uglier in person than pictures. The fact that something that ugly costs that much is almost insulting.

Apparently not everyone thinks it’s ugly.

any vehicle you can’t afford

Definitely a difference between living beyond your means and simply pissing the money away.

Admittedly, this vehicle was made by a guy who wrecked his McLauren inside a year. When you're a billionaire, I guess you just see everything as disposable.
