Does the Mustang II count as a sports car? If so that.

“Are we all that surprised that the first Cybertruck owner on Nantucket used the pullout method?”

Comes off real easy, only costs .7 MPG per the TFL guys

I’m going to need to see it not wrapped in barf before I can form an opinion.

I see Gladiator as well, and I think the Gladiator is ugly as hell. Doesnt speak much for this truck.

Looks like a truck to me.  Put that wrap on a Nissan Frontier and it would look the same to me.

It has some interesting detailing but it mostly just looks like a truck, which may well be the weird part now. Anyways, I get some Jeep Gladiator vibes from it.
