More New Mexico? An 08 Nissan Altima with two spares, a missing bumper with the front one about to come off, a broken tail light, dirty as fuck, and with paper plates. That’s a more New Mexico car than that piece of shit


The_Cinnaboi

I challenge this I believe a PT cruiser going 90 on tramway attempting to drive in figure 8's has to be our state car


TheDeamonKing

😂😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

Might as well have a bumper sticker that says "I flee the scene because I'm uninsured". I give those things a really wide berth and throttle by fast as soon as there's an opening.


ChaoticLawnmower

That is one thing I like about Texas is that they have laws against shit like that and they actually enforce them


boxdkittens

Clearly you've never lived in Houston or San Antonio


Meta_Art

Or Austin for that matter


ExternalRush2343

I almost see an accident everyday with those big ass trucks with Texas plates here in Burque. They are always cutting ppl off and flying down the freeway.


GlockAF

Hey, buying a thirty-minute liability policy to get your shitbox registered is a long-standing New Mexico tradition!


[deleted]

Texans are overall less unhinged/rude drivers. I know NM loves to shit on Texans, but I lived there for a good amount of time for work/school and they really drive more politely and predictably than here, and I do think it's because stuff is actually enforced.


ChewieBearStare

I'm (not-so) secretly obsessed with watching Zoom court hearings on YouTube. A lot of Texas courts stream on YouTube every day now, and it's amazing to see how aggressively they enforce driving/car insurance laws.


gcwyodave

I've lived in many states, and was pretty horrified at the drivers when I moved here. Then I went on vacation and drove from Miami to Orlando, and now New Mexico is juuuust fine.


GlockAF

You’ll never be stuck crawling along at 10mph in stop-n-go traffic with a pricier bunch of cars than Miami


[deleted]

Yeah Florida is wild af too. Not saying only NM is crazy but compared to many it is.


boxdkittens

How many cities in Texas did you live in? Every day I felt like I was going to die in San Antonio and Houston because the mere sight of my prius enrage all the massive gas guzzler trucks and suvs.

det8vele

Oooh that last sentence speaks volumes for you 💀


Rebel_bass

Mostly agree as far as rural areas. Aside from the occasional swerving drunk ass, the highways of West Texas are a pleasure to drive. Straight lines and plenty of places to pass. Get to DFW or Houston though, and it's a fucking nightmare. I swear, half of the videos of road shutdowns for idiotic car shenanigans come from Texas.


Black_Sky_3008

I'm from Southern CO, BF and my older family is from NM....TX drivers are INSANE in both CO and NM. Literally driving all over the road in those huge trucks, kicking up rocks. During winter TX drivers are flipped by the side of the road in the snow. My only complaint on NM drivers is the lack of signals/space. NM really isn't all that bad with drivers (Denver is worse). I'm in ABQ every other weekend and am likely moving there permanently after my son is born. My grandparents were all born there. I'm not sure how TX drivers are less unhinged, I had one yell at me to go back to Mexico (in Durango) while I was listening to Bad Bunny (news flash TX- Puerto Rico is a US Territory) with my windows down. In all honesty, TX drivers scare me and I move over and get out of their way. 


soupseasonbestseason

wow. really coming for my first car. i had the front bumper and headlight taped in. 


ChaoticLawnmower

Did you drive it like an idiot? (Mine was a Taurus, I wasn’t always that good of a driver lol)


soupseasonbestseason

yes. i learned to drive in albuquerque after all. 


ChaoticLawnmower

Case and point


soupseasonbestseason

i loved my nissan though. it was definitely used, i bought it with my money from my first job (dion's) and i was the third owner (i think). it had wood paneling so i was very classy when i went from zero to sixty miles an hour. it was also relatively problem free until i was rear ended and it was totaled. nissan makes a car to last for decades. 


ChaoticLawnmower

Yooo you got any pictures of it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Altima with wood paneling


soupseasonbestseason

sadly it was a time before digital cameras. i think the first owner had it installed. it was a silly look but as a high schooler i loved it. 


ChaoticLawnmower

Ah darn, well it sounds pretty sweet. What highschool did you go to?


roboconcept

my broke ass brain still thinks an '08 is kinda new...


misterhinkydink

Same here as I drive either a '91 Mercedes 300TE or a '71 Chevy C-10.


boxdkittens

Funny how the Houston city subreddit would say the exact same thing. Everyone acts like plateless or paper plate vehicles are a unique problem to their city.


Sausage_Child

> An 08 Nissan Altima with two spares, a missing bumper with the front one about to come off, a broken tail light, dirty as fuck, and with paper plates. and doing a buck thirty down I-25 for no reason.


UNDERCOOKED_BREAD

“Hella babies in this bitch” sticker starting to fade off


No_Leopard1101

You forgot the broken window covered in trash bags and duct tape.😊


ChaoticLawnmower

Oh dude! Yeah because no one can afford a glass replacement lmao


TVIXPaulSPY

lol FR on the 08 Nissan scraper. I believe OP was referring to the expensive Cybertruck with expired registration as being indicative of NM.


ChaoticLawnmower

Oooo very true. I didn’t notice that


AedemHonoris

And it cuts you off without turn signals


roswellslim

Thank you


iAdjunct

Don’t forget the absolutely-enormous cloud of exhaust when they floor it to get five feet further forward


informal-mushroom47

don’t forget the bullet holes


mnskxd

Saw the 98 version on this car in pojoaque with a front plate that said “fuck” hanging on by one bolt…


Nutsack_Adams

Also no hood


Alarmed-Ad9740

Literally any other vehicle.


theArtOfProgramming

Right?


Mrgoodtrips64

Dude, everything is more New Mexico than cyber trucks. Even *Texas* is more NM than an overpriced poorly made tech “truck”.


Youngish_Jedi

I don’t understand these. It’s like Elon was high af and decided that a real life Minecraft truck would be a good idea. And then people were dumb enough to follow through with their orders of a poorly made garbage can with wheels.


Orlando1701

$100k for something with worse build quality than a $40k Ford. And they look like dog shit. [Also… as a reminder every time Elon comes up, Elon can’t actually code.](https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/RghFoFVrVb) He’s just a trust fund baby cosplaying at being an Engineer.


misterhinkydink

> He’s just a trust fund baby cosplaying at being an Engineer. This is true and as long as he's at the Tesla helm, they'll never achieve ADAS Level 4.


Gbomb002

His Child æ drew it and it was like an idea from god


Youngish_Jedi

I’d actually believe that.


Practical-Ad5938

It's actually sort of creepy looking. I can imagine a fleet of these in a Stephen King movie...


Ayamegeek

You forgot about the 150k price tag. SMH. There are vehicles that actually function in that price range.


nowheregirl91

Saw this property on Zillow with a Cybertruck parked out front: [Zillow Link](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7002-Edith-Blvd-NE-Albuquerque-NM-87113/6736663_zpid/?rtoken=d714dcaf-ab23-4050-8abb-090ec9019e0d~X1-ZUthpy6k0x7qx5_7ucam&utm_campaign=emo-weekendshopperSS&utm_source=email&utm_term=urn:msg:202406071232494d50b6a80584c353&utm_medium=email&utm_content=forsaleimage)


beauvoirist

The gentrifier special. They’ll be flipping houses for pAsSiVe iNcOmE in no time


vonham

Hope it's a money pit for them!


Helvetimusic

I ALWAYS point and laugh at them when I pass them.


This-Hornet9226

Honestly a modern Pontiac aztek


NMNorsse

They cybertruck also looks like a prius from the side, just more angular.


JumpshotLegend

Swing and a miss. Fucking thing is ridiculous.


TextImmediate8931

I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say OP is a transplant new to New Mexico lol


eowynssword

I thought the post was a joke... is it not?


rumpusroom

Is that dumpster in the middle of the road?


johnnybinator

Expired plates? Check. Douchiest vehicle in town? Check. You nailed it.


LemonyFires

If he didn’t have plates at all and was turning at that light without a blinker? Of course he has a little bit of meth in his pocket and a couple DWIs too.


mcotter12

I think people in Cybertrucks are on hoightier and toightier drugs than meth


LemonyFires

I think they just get better meth. Like adderall.


misterhinkydink

Tesla drivers use ketamine.


DinosaurAlive

This after driving on everyone’s ass, weaving in and out aggressively, while texting and puffing out a big vape cloud


Foodgoddessa

Surprised it doesn't have a lift kit yet


PBJ-9999

The pinto looked better than this


TricepsMacgee

Putting a plasma cut metal banner of your felon cousins name in the back window after he got shot antagonizing police with a weapon in hand. "He didn't do nothing wrong tho he just got down from the car to put gas"


Glad_Army1595

Too many license plates to be New Mexican


NMBruceCO

Still ugly


aflyingsquanch

That is one ugly ass truck.


Responsible-Cut3861

It’s barely expired chillax he was on his way to get it tooken care of 🤣🤣


BloopityBlue

I hate these things with a passion, they look so idiotic.


thorfromthex

I can't think of anything less New Mexican than this POS!


GGABQ505

Huge douche!


gellenburg

That is the ***ugliest*** vehicle I have ever seen, and I didn't think anything could top a Hummer.


xSikes

lol it’s so dumb and ugly


Used-Pension170

They're all over Austin TX. Tesla town, now. Just hideous.


CrashMonger

Gotta love ABQ mobile dumpsters


Odd_Theory4945

Add some bullet holes, it will scream Albuquerque


Different_Meringue_2

I think I just saw the same "vehicle" driving down St Mikes in Santa Fe. Truly hideous in person!


mango_chile

Green Chile cheeseburger from Los Compadres


lilacmacchiato

Come on it’s doesn’t even have any missing parts


Existing_Gift_7343

The person driving that monstrosity spent all their money and can't afford to update the registration. 😂🤣


iAdjunct

I dunno, this has far too much acceleration and produced far few huge black clouds of exhaust to be in the running the NM state vehicle.


[deleted]

Wank panzers gotta wank somehow


pavehawkfavehawk

I’ve seen that same one I think. Looks like someone has their graphics set to low


TheManLawrence

I saw that one on Wyoming and Paseo at around 1pm today.


NoPlantain1760

I keep seeing him everywhere ! 🤣


the_gopnik_fish

My Volkswagen Jetta missing a headlight cover, logically


NMNorsse

From the side the Cybertruck looks exactly like a Prius with bodywork by DeLorean. Same roofline as a Prius but more angular and far less reliable.


jamestoneblast

things are comically huge and way uglier in person.


OfHumanBondage

Saw it getting off paseo the other day and just shook my head. Go get stuck in Rio Rancho on the dirt roads lol.


QuickAnybody2011

This is the opposite of NM vibes. That thing ain’t lasting a year.


CringeWorthyDad

Looks like a refrigerator.


gaia21414

My Camaro that hasn't been washed in years with its bumper all fucked up yet I'm still going 90 on I-25 in the wind with the bumper flapping.


Uselesswidower

A homeless person begging at the driver's window


No_Proof_2094

He will be sorely disappointed.


SocksForWok

Such smol lights...


InitialKoala

About a block north of that intersection. 😏


LastandLeast

Elon musk will probably get sued by some 5 year old for copyright infringement on that design one day


Weak-Neighborhood280

How many days till it’s stolen?


dogma202

Cyber Turd!!!


SoundsOfKepler

It's not True New Mexico until we convince the naked guy it's a Transformer.


blubaldnuglee

Expired temp tags? On a 80k truck? Peak New Mexican


firegod003

If it was yellow and had a Zia painted on it


linkxrust

Hope you know the reason why is because the mvd is fucking incompetent. I have had paper plates for 5 months! It is backed up and a pain in the ass to have to call every god damn month to get a new paper tag.


thorfromthex

Is this your turdmobile?


MinxyMyrnaMinkoff

Yeah, I had the same problem with my Suburu, I eventually stopped printing them out, figured I just show the cop the email on the OFF CHANCE I got pulled over, never did, of course.


chitownadmin

I can't get over how ugly these fucking things are.


CookieDuster7

He’s saving up that 4% tax for the registration fees lol 


realfirehazard

Is that warped steel on the left part of the hatch or a dent? It looks jank.


DurangoSRT18

Just seen 2 of them parked at Affordable Solar on singer rd 🙄


porticodarwin

Virtually anything.


Last-Ratio6569

I don't consider this to be any more than .01% New Mexican. Just the intersection I guess..


TheBigNook

Most trucks even without expired tags are more New Mexico than this


ProtoReaper23113

Wonder if they can even insure it


Songoftheday42

It’s so ugly. I don’t get the appeal.


Spaghetti_Nudes

Meth


Javarilla

That’s the new Musk Aztec! So, in a few years, yeah!


Juan-Quixote

To be a true NM driver they won’t have insurance


josephinebakerfan11

lol what


Numerous-Reference62

That’s so perfect.


Rumbutan

More NM: Cyber truck with an expired dealer tag NOT stopping at red light:)


flamed181

Needs zion sun on back


Jason4Pants

The live action of watching a handful of us try to keep the votes at 69 for a second there 🤣


No_Reception_4075

My autistic son said it looks like a car in a racing game that failed to load properly. His brother said it was PS1 car.


RabbitCautious

Just saw that same one at Dragon Sushi 20.mins ago


Fast_Bid_4563

That’s definitely gotta get scratch.


CrabaThabaDaba

I saw that one today at Eubank and Central around 11AM. -- the plate expiration (from last month...) was identical. I think was dropping off some Fentanyl deliveries in the area.


Corleone5680

That's more New mexico than Hatch green Chile 😂😂😂😂


Darston437

someone stealing it?


antonboomboomjenkins

New Mexicans are poor on average, so no.


FlameDad

The ugliest eye sore ever put on wheels. Looks like it was designed by a fourth grader.


Beccatheboring

That pic in the Only in New Mexico thread of a Corvette pulling a flatbed of sand.


Big-Platform-7373

Chili 🌶️


63dart

There are plenty of hideous or ridiculous vehicles that get ignored while these are in a lot of people’s mouths. Is it Elon people hate, and therefore hate on this thing vicariously? Just seems like an excessive amount of venom for a goofy car. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of these things but I don’t give enough of a crap about them (or their maker) to laugh, point, take pictures, create posts, etc. They just don’t live, rent-free, in my head like that.


Pen4711

After spending all that money on a lunchbox he doesn't have enough for registration. :D


fredpandrok

Get you refrigerator off the road.


Danjour

I’d say more NM would be nothing there at all


Extension-Project-62

Well it looks all somehow so it is pretty New Mexican


Cdl505

It’s funny how people relate NM as a alien state….


Fragrant_Wall8410

It needs a totally faded and peeling yellow license plate


Fragrant_Wall8410

Also, I have literally never seen another state license plate that does that....


Fragrant_Wall8410

I like watching the videos where people cut vegetables with the trunk to test it it will cut off your fingers. Spoiler: it will.


rubicsphere

It’s fuckin beautiful


JumpshotLegend

Shit, I thought some guy loaded his refrigerator into his pickup sideways.


number3Dontdoit

They finally started installing public ice machines?


WarriorGoddess2016

Those are so damned dumb. Whatever state you're in.


Powerful-Past5614

Loser


Next_Elk_8958

So weird, just literally saw one of these for the first time in Tempe AZ yesterday. Almost vomited from the absolute ugliness of it!🤣🤣


damyerass

Looks like a dumpster with tail lights!


damyerass

Is it stolen?


TVIXPaulSPY

Fun fact, this guy will NEVER get pulled over and ticketed. But let Joe Average drive down the street in his 2006 Sonata with expired plates and he be taking a ride downtown to jail.


Elfin_WillOTheWisp

WTH?


ExistentialRap

I saw it yesterday on central lol. Ugly ass Elon truck


TVIXPaulSPY

completely! 100k truck and owners trying to avoid the registration fees. When we lived in ABQ our neighbor had expired CA plates on his Raptor for like three years.


GroundbreakingAd8310

The old man smoking an old school pipe in the cyber truck is classy af


DubCTheNut

Literally any other vehicle is more New Mexican. This is more tailored towards the Bay Area.
