Saw a train with a few cars of these when I was in Austin, last month.

Ugly as sin.

Yes, but the owner could come at night and do a bunch of donuts on the green and no one would hear it!

Saw my first one in the wild a week or so ago on a road trip to FLA. Yes, if anything, it was uglier in person than in the pics.

I have seen 3 in the past week, one of them not far from my own neighborhood (spotted while out walking)…it’s ummmm…interesting

For those who follow Hoovie’s Garage, he finally got his…and there is already some rust on one of the panel edges

Yup, ugly.

I see that and think " I'd shave my dog's ass and make him walk backwards"

Finally got a pic of one out in the wild 😜 this one was at my local post office, so I’m certain at this point at least one lives close to me

For a successful person with expendable cash, it might be fun to buy one strictly for the comedic effect while driving around,
while also enjoying the straight line acceleration and friendly parking lot banter with curious folks .

For the eccentric , they could dress as Batman or Joker or a clown & really cause a stir around town

After the novelty wore off , they could sell it & probably get all their money back .

I think you just described Rob. And I mean that in a complementary way. I can totally see him dressed as Batman driving his CyberTruck.

One passed in front of me on a cross street and the first thought was ugly was not an appropriate word for the turd.
