Yeah, they look terrible standing there alone in promotional photographs, but when you see them in traffic surrounded by normal cars it's astonishing how much stupider they look. However, I'm a school bus driver and it's depressing how insanely excited the kids get when they see one.

in defense of actual reality: kids can be pretty fucking stupid sometimes. but they have lots of potential. Don't be too disappointed when they say dumb shit.

I thought the Lamborghini Countach was amazing when I was a kid. I also thought it was on par with the Pontiac Fiero. Kids are dumb.

I miss the racer cars zipping up and down I-35 like it was some kind of test track.

Now, if some guy with more money than sense wants to drop six figures on a car, more often than not it's one of those comically oversized trucks.

I used to think hot wheels were the peak of car design as a kid lmao. I'd take it with a grain of salt
