Kinda funny
When I was younger we moved around a bit and at some point I made a friend who was also a little weird like me
And his dad drove a car from the vid above! Not the Tesla but a hearse(edited!) and it was funny!
Everyone was always talking about it and no Tesla could top it for sure
He was a tattoo artist so it fit
@stux@mstdn.social A hearse is the word you're looking for
@ducky aaah!
@stux you know Mastodon is extremely transparent when it comes to edited posts? there is no need to add it in the post (i'm just writing this because people tried to weaponize editing, even though everyone can still read the original version, if they really want to. So I want more people to know )
I hope it was the e-type Jag hearse from Harold and Maude
@stux I knew of a guy who drove one and was going to set up a sound system using a coffin lined with speakers and a foam “body” inside that helped with controlling vibrations. I sure hope he did it.
@stux There’s someone in my city who drives a tricked out hearse. They have a human-sized skeleton riding shotgun with them too
@stux its a Cadillac hearse with a Miller-Meteor body from the 1950s, widely seen in USA movies whenever a hearse is featured. In Europe we tend to use converted Mercedes or similar size station wagon, and a hearse can often be got quite cheaply as a used vehicle with relatively low mileage (it is unlikely to have been driven hard, but might suffer from the usual problems that affect a car mostly used for short journeys, although nothing that can't be relatively easily fixed)
@stux The “death car” is called a “hearse.” When I was a kid I remember a friend of my sister who had a hearse that he had hopped up with a high performance engine, mag wheels, etc. It made a statement.
Hearses and cybertrucks have different design goals, though.
A hearse is built to transport dead people, inside.
A cybertruck is designed for dead people OUTSIDE.
What they have in common is that everyone around feels uncomfortable.
@Saupreiss @RandomCanuck @stux The four people who've died in Cybertruck fires so far might disagree with that "outside" part.
@Saupreiss @stux Ya missed the point.
1) hearse is the correct name for a “death car” in the context of the original post, and
2) I mentioned hot-rodded hearses and chose to illustrate it with a couple of pictures.
@stux
You mean a “hearse”?
As the Wankpanzer is a death car in itself ^_^J
@dzwiedziu @stux at least in a hearse, you're dead *before* you get put in the car
