 I’m not sold on Tesla, but I have to admit, the Cybertruck looks pretty good in person. 
 Imagine putting a nice Cummins diesel in there 
 A nice V12. Would be amazing 
 But then you can’t do this… https://youtube.com/shorts/wUqa_-f2c9o 
 Now that’s a smoke show! 😂 
 It’s got a roll coal… 

You have to piss off environmentalists 
 There is probably one triggered out there somewhere 😂

 Can’t wait to have a smoke stack on my next car. Want them to flip their lids.

Fueled by SPITE😈 💪🏿 
 Triggering them one smoke cloud at a time 😂

 The goal is an early 80s turbo diesel Mercedes, but happy to get an old truck. I just want the exterior to look like a mad Max vehicle: lifted, raked, and loud 
 Cars in mad max look badass!

 That’s my next project… need a post apocalyptic looking vehicle. Want it to blow smoke into the air, even happy with missing doors and large external fuel tanks. Not trying to copy anyone, but do my own thing… and push the limits of what’s street legal. If it doesn’t look questionable, I’ve failed. 
 Are you leaning more towards a car or an SUV? 
 Mercedes w123 chassis.

It’s bulletproof reliable…

Love the 280CE - of any of the two door versions… but now that I’m gonna be a dad, will probably try to find the station wagon… and I want the exterior to look like it’s 40 years old… don’t need it to be shiney.

My base vehicle will be sub 5k 
 W123 chassis is nice. 
I also find station wagons with wooden panels have a nce distinctive look. Less mad max though https://i.nostr.build/XLW3RGNPwcqXfG5S.jpg  
 That car in the picture isn’t much too nice a condition to do what I want to do.

I am looking for a clearcoat over raw metal, 3 inch lift, fat tires, big front bumper guard… and the piece de resistance… a smoke stack right up through the hood with large fuel injectors that can give off black smoke on command… diesel is so fun 👌 
 That Chassis is the best era of Mercedes Engineering and build quality.

Just click the doors shut, and you’ll feel it 
 I want one 😬

One day 🤞🏼 https://i.nostr.build/ygHe7z2iXjhFnVYH.jpg  
 When you order that cybertruck from Temu🤣🤣🤣🤣 
 😂😂
Temu is like aliexpress ? 
 Yes hahahaha 
 😂 
 Worse.
It’s somehow the cheapest somehow most popular shit from AliExpress  
 Sounds terrible 
 One day ™ 🕊️🤭 
 I hate that cybertruck lol looks like a dumpster and it’s not even a capable 4x4
There are way better options out there for a truck 
 I’m purely speaking of the bodywork. Looks straight out of robocop 😂 
Not a fan of EV or Elon 
 Maybe? Looks chunky to me hahaha
The prototype was so much better than production 
 So you’re saying Elon was BSing with the prototype? 😂 
 Yes hahahahaha

I even put down a deposit for the quad motor. He let me down 
 Did he refund you at least? 
 Tesla did yea! It was seamless 

I was so excited when they announced it but after a while I was like, I could get an F150 for half the price and twice the reliability hahaha 
 That’s good!

Definitely. If you live anywhere with winter, that Cybertruck will not do well… 
 The definition of a pavement princess haha 
 I looked it up. Hilarious 😂😂 
 i wouldn't buy one, i think it's impractical and at the same time i love that it is being made. 

we need creativity, innovation, and adventurous attempts in the car world again 
 Definitely. Remember cars with the wooden panels on the side. This one looks cool https://i.nostr.build/HNQAxHdL9QTrvrLW.jpg  
 Se me hace muy robot, pero es un autazo 
 I like how it looks 
 A local ‘coiner has one. Me likey but haven’t had a ride yet. Curios to try the  steer-by-CIA, um I mean, steer-by-wire feature.
