I don't scowl at the guy in the white Lambo I see sometimes. I don't frown when a Porsche flies past me on the interstate. Shit, even a brand new Corvette will get a "nice!" from me. If it were jealousy I'd hate all kinds of people.

Cybertrucks are just horribly ugly. So ugly it assaults your senses, I can't help but think "oh that car hasn't finished rendering" every time.

Right? There's a Countach that parks next door to my favorite bar pretty often on the weekends and I have not once pointed and laughed at it. That's a vehicle I'll never be able to buy but I'm not jealous. I'm jazzed to see it.

I'm not a car guy but even I think it's cool as hell.

The difference between a Cybertruck and a Countach is the difference between a self-indulgent wiener and a connoisseur.

I've said it other places, but you don't get a sense of just how bad they are until you see one in person. I don't know if it's that they're a bit bigger than I thought, or that I'm used to seeing fake images of all sorts of things, but even though I'd seen pictures I was surprised at how bad they are in person. They're cartoonishly awful.
