Dude I think you go to a Nazi gym

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 58 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I know which car I'd rather have.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A friend of mine had a mini like that. It was comically tiny, and kind of scary. I think you would die in every accident you'd have in that car.

I would definitely take the mini

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

At least it wouldn't lock you in if you have an emergency.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 week ago

There are only three cars to choose from; the Mini, a GLS, and something I don't even recognise (Vauxhall?).

Mini is cool tho.

This is the self preservation society

(Ironic for a car with no crumple zones)

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Enhance. Yup. Typical owner.

"FUCK 'EM" I can read. Any guesses on the bottom line?

The perfect accessory for when your whole family thinks you're an asshole and you have no friends.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk -5 points 1 week ago

I'd say "fuck'em" is the correct attitude if someone hates you because of the car you drive.

EM stands for Elon Musk, obviously

Cyber trucks are illegal in the UK?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

It's a meme. Look up "average fan vs. average enjoyer" meme.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Is that a dutch number plate?

I'm confused, because a) I see two palms in the picture and b) cybertrucks are practically illegal in the EU and c) taking your car across an ocean would be a lot of effort.

Where is this?

edit: Problem solved I think. From the original reddit post:

This appears to be in a US state with no front license plate requirement. In those states, you can put just about anything decorative on the front. This includes fake Euro plates.

You’re right. This license plate belonged to a Citroen BX and was exported in 2018 so never belonged to this vehicle. You don’t have to turn repeater plates in on export in NL. Only the regular plates.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Palms are what's on the inward side of your hands. You're thinking of palm trees. 😁

My first language also defines the word for this tree to be just "palm". 🙂

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Thanks but that's just disambiguation. the word can mean both: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/palm

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Alright then.

I guess some disambiguation would be neat since it's in reference to an image online. 👍

British car: “By George, I’m surrounded!”

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Another British icon, designed by an immigrant.

It's almost like immigration brings new ideas and is good for the economy.

Gotta be careful parking next to dumpsters like that.

[–] DBT@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It’s impressive that they’re actually in parking spots. At my gym they typically park in no parking zones because obviously they’re special.

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 9 points 1 week ago

I miss my mini

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Staring down big American cars in full contact races is literally the Mini’s pedigree.

POV: https://youtu.be/QAo1ylm304g

It has no fear here. It knows what to do.

[–] klangcola@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Ugh, that ending crossing the line, so close!

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 1 week ago

How could anyone not root for the mini?

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

BTCC races back in the day were fucking epic. The minis took the corners, the American muscle cars took the straights and the racing was glorious!

Here is a three-way battle between a Mini, a Ford Galaxie and a Jag for good measure!

going through the laguna seca corkscrew on a mini has to feel insane

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

goddamn that's some good racing

I love tiny cars for that stuff

[–] DeadPixel@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Cool Mini!!

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

To cucks and a British dude.

(C)ara Ara?

Stuck between two giant egos.

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Why no plates on the Cybercraps? I'm guessing they're just sitting in a lot, unused?

lol the green one has graffiti

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

If its America they dont need front plates in most states.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Definitely looks much less worse wrapped. That matte olive green is kinda cool.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I've seen a black wrapped one that's kind of acceptable. Still a hulking monstrosity.
