A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

    Oh, the Pinto, with it’s missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto…

    Edit: to be clear, I’d rather drive it than the boxy Prius wannabe.

      It’d be funny if true but the Pinto sold for longer than the Gen II mustang, they just looked similar

        Aw man! The colloquial history was wrong. Sorry about that, mate. The pinto took design factors from the Mustang Gen I. After the Pinto failed, the Mustang II took design factors from the Pinto. However, the colloquial history of one being a reskinn of the other is utterly wrong. Good story, though haha
