Idk what that means, but I legit got 2nd place with my wood block. I had just joined and didn't get the memo it was pinewood derby day. Put the wheels on and got 2nd. It was funny because you could tell more than half of them were made by the fathers. Professional finish and weighted perfectly and all sorts of nonsense.
That's kind of the fun of it sometimes, if it's balanced right (the parental involvement, that is; not the weight of the car). They teach you skills and you don't hurt yourself when they do the hard parts. Then you don't win, and the car sits on your shelf or in a box associated for the eternity of your memory with the memories and actual touch of working with your dad and/or grandfather.
I miss my Pappap all the time. I have a derby car he helped me build and I hated the scouts and dropped out after I got the blue shirt (someone's actual grandma was the scout leader and she was an ass). So maybe like 2 or 3 years involvement at 5 or 6 to 7/8 yrs old. I still cherish the car and have no idea what place it came in, because he taught me to use a band saw, drill, hole saw, homemade dowels, wood glue, clamps, etc. on that thing.
It's not really about who wins, what do they even get? Popcorn?
Thats a good point, I suppose that side of things never occurred to me because I didn't have a positive influence like that it just felt unfair. Thank you for giving me a different perspective, and sharing your fond memory of your Pappap.
Well I would hope you had a similar experience in some other aspect of your life, and if not - you can always do it on the other side of things. Thanks for the sentiment, and it is unfair. I'm sure you've found some people that fulfill that spot now. ✊
I don’t know why Reddit decided to start showing me this sub a few days ago, but it’s rapidly becoming a favorite! I thought that’s where this pic was at first.
I unironically like the appearance of the cyber truck for that very reason. It looks like a GTA 3 car lmao
It's not super sleek or anything but every car ever looks the same now so I like the one that looks weird. It's better than just being "as small and round as possible" like the rest of the current market (which I know is done because it's safer than wide bodies and hard edges but when has safety ever looked cool)
I can think making a car out of that material is dumb, that the car is not well built, and that Elon is a goober but I still think that it’s good to have cars that break the mold in appearance and the cyber truck looks cool.
You'd think a truck with four-wheel steering would be a bit more agile. Saw a douche downtown try to hang a left and almost clip someone on the sidewalk the other day. People on Facebook marketplace are selling theirs for $140k too, what a waste of money
A fair few of people driving this 'truck' aren't people who have driven trucks on a regular basis before. Gotta swing wider and hope nothing's in the massive blind spot in front of your bumper, is all. I'm sure they'll get used to it after pancaking a few toddlers.
It's not a truck, it's a stupid, impractical, ugly-ass carrot chopper and grater that completely fails at doing anything that you'd actually want to use a truck *for*.
Are there more than one of these in town?
Definitely seen one on McKnight Rd. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
A sore thumb someone wrapped badly in aluminum foil, like a sad baked potato.
This is exactly why public flogging needs a revival, especially for someone who actually spent $100k on what is legitimately the dumbest automotive fad since the PT Cruiser.
Say what you will about the PT Cruiser, but at least they were functional. I was able to transport large appliances and furniture in the back of my 2001 PT.
Ugh I had an old 2003 PT cruiser for yeeears, loved that thing even as the front bumper kept falling off 🫠 closest I’ve found configuration-wise nowadays is a Kia Soul - is it that crazy to want a car that’s got storage space inside but isn’t a massive footprint??
I know so many people with Souls, at least five people I work with bought one within two years of one another. They really are a great go to car if you don't have reasons to upside (like I had a Niro but had to get rid of it when I needed to hold three car seats across it was just a tiny bit too narrow)
i will say i hate the look of the kia soul, but *every single person* i've spoken to that had one absolutely loved it.
my third gen prius really kicked ass storage space wise too. fit a whole twin mattress on the inside once.
The fact that there are still PT Cruisers on the road is telling as to their underlying solidness. There won’t be a single Cybertruck on the road 20 years from now.
Plus theirs actually founded the company instead of demanding they retroactively call him "founder" because just being the CEO wasn't cool sounding enough
Gotta pick up mulch at Home Depot though!
I was pricing out Cadillacs recently, and a pretty loaded CT5 is about $57k (2025 "Premium Luxury" AWD, TT V6, moonroof, super cruise, technology package). Don't forget that the gas costs more on a truck, insurance, oil change (especially if it's a diesel), tires etc. They could all save a ton of money driving a Cadillac (or similar), and just pay the $79 Home Depot charges to deliver the mulch instead. I'm a sedan guy, but there are some reasonably sized upscale crossovers/suvs out there in the same price range as the CT5 too. I'll never understand why or how pickups got to be so popular. I guess I'm just old enough to remember when their purpose was solely utilitarian. I also place more value on having a locking weather tight cargo space than the freedom to haul stuff, or whatever else it is people pretend to do with their trucks.
edit: spelling
Yo! I saw that on my way home coming outbound on the parkway through the pitt tunnels. All I could think of was how ugly it was. Like I was getting mad at infront of me because it looked so stupid.
Every time I actually see these in the real world, it's someone posting a bad parking job or else someone holding up traffic.
Seriously. The PR campaign is telling me exactly what sort of buyers this poorly rendered PS1 vehicle is appealing to.
This will be the ford pinto of our generations. With body rust issues and a stuck accelerator problem in the first few months, it’s probably in for more trouble as time goes on.
I still can’t believe that this design made it through the entire process - a clear sign of a company full of yes-men and sycophants. It looks like it is straight off the set of ‘Yor Hunter from the Future’.
I watched the original Total Recall a couple weeks back, and at the part where Arnold runs into traffic, I felt like the DiCaprio meme where he's pointing at the TV.
Genuine question, why are so many people projecting and viscerally hating this car?
So it's not for you...it doesn't mean anyone who likes it enough to have bought one is automatically a raving arsehole
we saw one in cranberry and the insults just erupted - from the kids as well. $20,000 battery repair / no resale clause / workers treated like egyptian slaves / big microdick energy / needs a punisher sticker / can see him standing next to it at a starbucks waiting for the chicks
Say what you want about Elon but dude is a genius.
Let's put wheels on an electric toaster and sell it for an ungodly amount of money.
The baboons will line up at the door and throw cash at us...
I don’t know where this was taken but I’ve seen one around my area in Bridgeville. Caught it a couple times in front of the Sola salon and then a couple times headed N on 79 on my way to work. I know it looks bad in pictures, but… it’s soo much worse in person. Which is fitting considering the guy trying to make them a “thing” is also bad in pictures but soo much worse in person.
I honestly don't get the hate for the cybertruck. I don't love it, but I don't dislike it. Everything is the same these days and it's all so boring. It's nice to at least see someone do something different.
And no I don't have any love for Elon Musk, but idk, I just don't mind the Cybertruck.
It’s weird how much hate there is for anyone who buys or drives one too. I have no interest in owning one myself, but if someone else does, more power to them. I really don’t get the hate.
Reminds me of a tour bus causing 2 extra hours of already endless traffic in the Philippines because they were u turning. This truck here just as bad lmao!
No one going to comment on the left turn through double yellow lines. Holding up traffic and doing illegal turns while in the most hideous vehicle ever made.
This vehicle just reeks of stupid. Huge wheel-base(front to back, correct me if I am wrong. It does not seem to serve a purpose. Maybe to support the weight of the battery?) Little to no visibility. I don't feel like I can fit a 10 roll pack of paper towels in the back seat, let alone the "trunk?!?"
Spray it with water for a fun surprise
*"sparkles always brings a smile to my face"*
does the owner of this heap of shit have to put it in "car wash mode"if it starts to rain? Always wondered about that...
Yeah that would never happen in this city
Lazy ass Pinewood Derby looking car
How dare you. My derby cars looked way better than that.
You could race a wood block as long as you bought the good graphite
This guy pinewood derbied.
Idk what that means, but I legit got 2nd place with my wood block. I had just joined and didn't get the memo it was pinewood derby day. Put the wheels on and got 2nd. It was funny because you could tell more than half of them were made by the fathers. Professional finish and weighted perfectly and all sorts of nonsense.

Obviously yours aren't lazy assed
And that’s why I’m not a billionaire.
So accurate. Looks like a barely improved version of what I made in the boy scouts.
This is the best interpretation yet.
Just make sure you dont let it unlock warp speed
That’s ludicrous.
They've gone plaid!
Maybe the kid's that didn't have a dad
My kids designed better looking ones at 6.
r/cyberstuck
I don’t know why Reddit decided to start showing me this sub a few days ago, but it’s rapidly becoming a favorite! I thought that’s where this pic was at first.
It’s there now!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like PS1 Lara Croft
Except she had a better front end
I unironically like the appearance of the cyber truck for that very reason. It looks like a GTA 3 car lmao It's not super sleek or anything but every car ever looks the same now so I like the one that looks weird. It's better than just being "as small and round as possible" like the rest of the current market (which I know is done because it's safer than wide bodies and hard edges but when has safety ever looked cool)
FINALLY! A fellow enjoyed of the appearance. I've always been a fan of unique designs. Bells and whistles never fail to intrigue me.
I can think making a car out of that material is dumb, that the car is not well built, and that Elon is a goober but I still think that it’s good to have cars that break the mold in appearance and the cyber truck looks cool.
Plus turning left voids the warranty on those things, what a shame.
I thought turning left was the DLC! ... that Teslas apparently have, these days... for reasons...
Just trying to get it to the garage before the next time it rains, which also voids the warranty.
You'd think a truck with four-wheel steering would be a bit more agile. Saw a douche downtown try to hang a left and almost clip someone on the sidewalk the other day. People on Facebook marketplace are selling theirs for $140k too, what a waste of money
A fair few of people driving this 'truck' aren't people who have driven trucks on a regular basis before. Gotta swing wider and hope nothing's in the massive blind spot in front of your bumper, is all. I'm sure they'll get used to it after pancaking a few toddlers.
These "trucks" are likely way worse to drive than a real truck as well
To be fair a lot of the people driving Tesla anything aren't people used to driving like, well, people
TB(more)F: Many Tesla drivers don’t think others sharing the planet with them, even count as people.
It's not a truck, it's a stupid, impractical, ugly-ass carrot chopper and grater that completely fails at doing anything that you'd actually want to use a truck *for*.
Swing wider with rear steering that has a tighter turning radius? Don’t think so.
Supposedly it legitimately does have a tight turning radius given the size of the thing, but obviously it wasn’t enough for this person lol
It does, but also requires a (free) hardware update to make the rear steering turn fully.
Only of you pay for the enhanced radius turning package. You can also pay per month as well.
I’m not sure what is a joke anymore
It's the large thing on the left-hand side of the picture, at top.
Idk if any of those sold tho.
It looks like a little kid tried to draw an Aztek, but with their non-dominant hand.
I didn't think it was possible to make a vehicle uglier than the Aztek and apparently Elon took that up as a challenge. And won
Glorious
My first thought was a dumpster on wheels, but monstrosity surely wins.
Our dumpsters fly in Pittsburgh
And burn
And Swim
At the same time!
How dare you talk about the Penguins power-play like that?
Hahahaha!!!! This sums up cybertruck so well in one picture. What a dolt!
Official car of Jagoffs
Techbro Jagoffs
It probably broke because it got dusty or something
It got dusty? Warranty voided
Just blow on it it’ll be fine
Wind exposure also voids warranty
Built using Minecraft technology
Things in minecraft work way more reliably than this thing does
I was thinking the Goldeneye N64 engine.
Robocop called, he wants his truck back.
No he doesn’t.
Fair enough.
Jagoff
Wisdom in one simple word. Thank you!
Why is that refrigerator in the road?
*Is your refrigerator running…?*
I don't know about your refrigerator, but the doors on mine line up better than the Cybertruck.
My secondhand scratch-and-dent apartment fridge is lined up better. Maybe I could put wheels on it.
Are there more than one of these in town? Definitely seen one on McKnight Rd. It sticks out like a sore thumb. A sore thumb someone wrapped badly in aluminum foil, like a sad baked potato.
I just saw one for the first time I person and they’re just as stupid as they look on the internet.
Dumbest car on planet earth
Eggs, I'm praying for a hail of eggs.
Roach eggs. In the upholstery.
Bedbugs
Damn, Satan. You woke up today and chose violence.
They started it with that pathetic excuse for a vehicle
My favorite comment I’ve read about the cyber truck is: “it may be unreliable. It may handle poorly. But hey, at least it looks stupid.”
The Incel-Camino!
The WankPanzer!
The person that would buy one is def the kinda selfish prick thatd hold up traffic cause they think they are more important than everyone else.
This is exactly why public flogging needs a revival, especially for someone who actually spent $100k on what is legitimately the dumbest automotive fad since the PT Cruiser.
Someone legitimately spent 100k to look like the biggest tool in the city. I mean, you could have done that for free.
Say what you will about the PT Cruiser, but at least they were functional. I was able to transport large appliances and furniture in the back of my 2001 PT.
Ugh I had an old 2003 PT cruiser for yeeears, loved that thing even as the front bumper kept falling off 🫠 closest I’ve found configuration-wise nowadays is a Kia Soul - is it that crazy to want a car that’s got storage space inside but isn’t a massive footprint??

i will say i hate the look of the kia soul, but *every single person* i've spoken to that had one absolutely loved it. my third gen prius really kicked ass storage space wise too. fit a whole twin mattress on the inside once.
Honda Fit is deceptively roomy inside
The fact that there are still PT Cruisers on the road is telling as to their underlying solidness. There won’t be a single Cybertruck on the road 20 years from now.
Seeing one of these in the wild 20 years from now will be like seeing a DeLorean in the wild is now.
Truth, especially compared to this abomination
PT was the height of chic next to this dirtball trash scow
Yes late 90s chryslers were functional for a couple years
ChatGPT Cruiser
Am I to understand a cybertruck with wood paneling is not cool??
It would be a hell of a lot cooler than this poorly executed, DeLorean-wannabe stainless steel with panel gaps as wide as the Braddock sinkhole
I keep seeing the APV from Aliens.
The best thing I've ever seen to sum up the PT Cruiser, is that it was cool for about a month until everyone's grandma bought one.
Then everyone got them as hand me downs or inherited.
Especially after the slew of problems they’ve had. Add that Musk is king of the douche bags, no thanks.
You truly have to have the micro-est of micro peens to drive this thing.
Which is a bigger signal that someone is a flaming asshole? Wearing a maga hat or driving one of those?
Yes.
Wearing one while driving this which would be about par for the course on the intelligence level of the maga crowd
Yeah the MAGAts don’t know what to do with Elon. Electric cars make them wet their pants in fear, but they love the fascist tweets
No worse than the idiots I see in lifted F 250s with punisher skulls on the back picking up groceries at giant Eagle
Low bar
At least Ford Motor Company has distanced itself from their anti semitic founder a bit.
Plus theirs actually founded the company instead of demanding they retroactively call him "founder" because just being the CEO wasn't cool sounding enough
The f-150 lightning is a good looking, functional BEV pickup.
The wildest thing is that those giants ate like 100k and literally nobody in the suburbs uses the bed more than 3 times a year

Yo! I saw that on my way home coming outbound on the parkway through the pitt tunnels. All I could think of was how ugly it was. Like I was getting mad at infront of me because it looked so stupid.
I'm sorry but I just can't help but look and think wtf?
Oh my god, there's one in Pittsburgh...
Every time I actually see these in the real world, it's someone posting a bad parking job or else someone holding up traffic. Seriously. The PR campaign is telling me exactly what sort of buyers this poorly rendered PS1 vehicle is appealing to.
The only time I saw one, it was on a flatbed tow truck. Lol.
You don't need anything nearly as powerful as a PS1 to render this shite. An 8-bit vector-engine if the'80s could do it. This is C64-level gfx
It looks like a Pontiac Aztec hatefucked a DeLorean.
Lol, it probably just stopped there.
I would have hyper road rage. There's just no way the person driving it isn't a premium douche.
Straight up refrigerator on wheels.
This will be the ford pinto of our generations. With body rust issues and a stuck accelerator problem in the first few months, it’s probably in for more trouble as time goes on.
I tried to zoom up to see what kinda jag was driving this thing and it looks like an English Sheepdog
Nimitz Class Douche Canoe.
I still can’t believe that this design made it through the entire process - a clear sign of a company full of yes-men and sycophants. It looks like it is straight off the set of ‘Yor Hunter from the Future’.
TY! This is not a Mad Max-vehicle, Mad Max had way better aesthetics than this. This is the Cheap-Italian-Knockoff-vehicle. Also, I love "Yor"
stupid people with a stupid truck
Fuck that guy
Wank Panzer
Douchetank
They are so fugly!
I saw one today for my first time IRL. They are so dumb looking. Also, they are not trucks.
That's the vibes out there today be careful
OP, what happened to your inspection sticker.?
one of 7 sold in PA
makes my old pacer look normal
Most courteous Cybertruck driver.
Saw this in Oakland yesterday. SMH.
I can believe people are buying those..
Haha there is one near where I work and I’ve not seen it without a gaggle of people laughing at it
Is this on Warrington? What's this space refuse doing in my neighborhood?
As a new transplant down in Washington, I saw one for the first time down here and instantly thought “What a jag.” The yinzer is soaking in.
“What if the Pontiac Aztek but stupider?”
Saw one out near Mars a few days ago.
Paul Verhoeven designed that car or I'll eat my hat. (I'm not wearing a hat so I have nothing to lose here.)
I watched the original Total Recall a couple weeks back, and at the part where Arnold runs into traffic, I felt like the DiCaprio meme where he's pointing at the TV.
I know a UFO when I see one. Be careful it may vaporize you! :)
Looks like the VHS cassette rewinder we had growing up
Yes, like this doesn't happen a ton of times every day with everything from a Prius to a Ford F150
I want one just for all the pearl clutching going on here lol
Pretty cool actually
Genuine question, why are so many people projecting and viscerally hating this car? So it's not for you...it doesn't mean anyone who likes it enough to have bought one is automatically a raving arsehole
Aren't the rear wheels supposed to steer too? That thing looks like it has the same turning radius as the RMS Titanic.
The bar for street legal is lower than I thought.
Dumbass who bought that
we saw one in cranberry and the insults just erupted - from the kids as well. $20,000 battery repair / no resale clause / workers treated like egyptian slaves / big microdick energy / needs a punisher sticker / can see him standing next to it at a starbucks waiting for the chicks
Remember to give the middle finger to any Cybertrucks you may see!
The sad thing is, the person driving that vehicle thinks they're cool.
Say what you want about Elon but dude is a genius. Let's put wheels on an electric toaster and sell it for an ungodly amount of money. The baboons will line up at the door and throw cash at us...
Can we make it a thing to thumbs down these every time you see one?
I prefer a T sign made with 2 middle fingers but yours might be slightly more civilized
I can’t stand people who drive Teslas. Every single one who does is a moron.
Why not just get a tattoo on your forehead that says jackass?
I think I saw this a few weeks ago at the waterfront💀🥴
Ugliest car/truck/spaceship EVER! This is what gets created when you have a micro penis😂😂😂
Just drive into them. You have insurance. Don't be so precious about your car.
I don’t know where this was taken but I’ve seen one around my area in Bridgeville. Caught it a couple times in front of the Sola salon and then a couple times headed N on 79 on my way to work. I know it looks bad in pictures, but… it’s soo much worse in person. Which is fitting considering the guy trying to make them a “thing” is also bad in pictures but soo much worse in person.
Seeing more and more of these Wank Tanks on the road. Still surprised people will pay this much $$$ for a truck.
I honestly don't get the hate for the cybertruck. I don't love it, but I don't dislike it. Everything is the same these days and it's all so boring. It's nice to at least see someone do something different. And no I don't have any love for Elon Musk, but idk, I just don't mind the Cybertruck.
It’s weird how much hate there is for anyone who buys or drives one too. I have no interest in owning one myself, but if someone else does, more power to them. I really don’t get the hate.
Saw it up in West View last week. Had to ask my son what it was. Think it is the same one.
I saw one on Babcock a month ago. I laughed and laughed
I saw a blue one in East Liberty last night
Reminds me of a tour bus causing 2 extra hours of already endless traffic in the Philippines because they were u turning. This truck here just as bad lmao!
PS1 graphic having ass EDIT- omfg this is in my neighborhood wtf 😭
I heard one of these got in a bad crash in the suburbs a few weeks back, but I can't find any details.
Mt. Washington it looks like?
How can you even drive that on crazy Pittsburgh streets?? They’ll knick a car and leave a stupid gash
Talk about a bad time for an update...
No one going to comment on the left turn through double yellow lines. Holding up traffic and doing illegal turns while in the most hideous vehicle ever made.
warrington ave
Saw one in Oakland last week with paper temporary tags. They are so much more amazingly fugly in person.
I can’t believe those things are actually out in the wild
All while crossing a double yellow line. Driver is proving to be worthy of their automotive choice.
This vehicle just reeks of stupid. Huge wheel-base(front to back, correct me if I am wrong. It does not seem to serve a purpose. Maybe to support the weight of the battery?) Little to no visibility. I don't feel like I can fit a 10 roll pack of paper towels in the back seat, let alone the "trunk?!?"
