I swear to God anytime some fucker cuts me off he's in some suped up Tesla
Jokes on you. The only part of a Tesla that's luxurious is the price. It's like sitting in a car made out of the cheapest shit you can buy at Ikea.
I sat in a Model 3 once and my first thought was "Wow, this thing is built like a..."
And then my mind went blank because I could not think of any other car brand that I've experienced with such shitty build quality.
any truck tbh, every time I'm stuck in traffic on the highway it's always some pickup obliviously in the passing lane, not passing, until there's eventually enough of a gap for the 30 vehicles stuck behind them to pass on the right. they never get over or seem to even comprehend what they've done or why everyone is passing them on the right.
Uh oh, looks like someone's driving their family and furious about it. I'd better make sure t- OH SHIT OH FUCK, GOD-... DAMN it. I was letting you in you piece of shit
-me, every time a cayenne driver does the inevitable thing
It's like, if you're rich, why would anyone spend money on your car being as ugly as humanly possible? All that money is wasted on these schlubs with zero taste.
Like if I was capitalist asshole, I'd go for a James Bond aesthetic and be insufferably cosmopolitan.
being tailgated by some chud in a luxury truck bigger than a tank consistently reaffirms my hatred for america
Yesterday there was a truck behind me that I thought was a tow truck because it had those little yellow marker lights on the roof, but then it passed me and nope it was just a giant pickup truck. It didn't have a placard on the door with a contractor business name so I don't think it was a work truck either. I don't understand why anyone thinks they need something the size of a tow truck for just commuting or whatever.
If you can tolerate how you’re seen, an old ass Lexus is a good buy. They’re just the cream of the crop of Toyotas and last a long time.
I don't think anyone's going to think "ah a bougie motherfucker" when they see a 90s lexus ngl
the only guy I know who drives a 90s lexus buys them (shitboxes) for like $3-500 and fixes them up. Maybe early 90s is different, but in my area the late 90s lexus is still primarily a beater, though I'm sure well preserved examples are starting to get spendy.
I mean obviously yes, but "souped up tesla"? Can people even modify them?
Dwarf Fortress idea: Build a large strip of track where all the traffic laws are abolished, and let the nobles do whatever they want at whatever speed they want. It will both remove them from normal roads, and likely the problem will sort itself out
I’ve noticed that the more expensive looking the car, the more likely it is to fly through my apartment parking lot (where kids play all the time). The busted ass cars from 1995 go nice and slow and avoid people.
Also slow roll my car so I dont wear out the already worn out suspension.
Being broke really makes you take care of your shit.
Lol weird observation. Most of the time people in nice cars (barring teslas and bmws for some reason) tend to go slow to avoid doing unnecessary damage or risk in their very expensive car.
95% of the time someone is hooning the fuck out somewhere around here its some kid in like a 1997 integra with the bumpers ripped off from hitting curbs lmao
Tbf most of the expensive cars that come through my parking lot are Teslas and BMWs
Yeah idk why but they drive like huge dickheads. Hell most boomers in corvettes and shit drive slow as fuck since the car is about the only thing they give a fuck about lol.
I’m so not a car guy but corvettes are the one type of car I see and go “ooooh pretty”
I owned a 1984 and a 1992, sold them for film equipment.
Now saving up for a 2008 or so. I love em and me and my dad worked on them when I was in high school. Want to have a more modern one of my own to pick him up in.
Oh my god, what have I done...
Edited to add: I'm probably overthinking this, but just in case you aren't playing around I'm going to explain myself. I don't want to risk piling on to a bad day.
I don't think people have to be dumb to do dumb things, and what had me inferring that you were driving was the comment you made on your post. Years back before I reined it in, I did several way dumber things than text in response to drivers like that. Everyone I know tells each other to be safe and not text any time one of them implies that they may have been doing it, so it was only intended as a habitual "You're cool, make sure not to die" care message
Teslas, BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Porsches, and Ford F-150s in particular tend to be the biggest offenders. Basically all status symbols, which makes sense.
I saw a Tesla pass someone on a 25 mph street the other day. Close to an apartment building with people walking nearby, they accelerated faster than a sports car and were probably doing 50 mph. I'm sure they got stuck behind another car right after too. Why?!
And I see a lot of large or luxury SUVs going 20 over the speed limit on interstates weaving between lanes and noticeably leaning while doing so. I didn't see this often until the last few years.
My guess is probably the continuing alienation, no consequences being experienced, and just being an asshole. People used to know that driving aggressively and accelerating quickly were bad for fuel economy, but Teslas don't use gas and the big truck chuds don't care.
Driver's education has probably been privatized and hollowed out in America like everything else, judging from riding in a car with my younger relatives and from seeing new drivers ed businesses pop up all over.
Where I live nobody goes the speed limit unless there’s a traffic jam or they see a cop. Or they’re a taxi, in which case they’re doing 10 miles slower in the passing lane, gotta get that fare
