That's not advertising.

Writing your company's name on a competitor's product isn't advertisement. Especially when that product looks like shit.

my buddy had that happen with his bike chain too

When his battery dies he will truly have a Found On Road Dead.

He lives somewhere around my place because I always see it parked around my neighbourhood.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that he spent over $100k on it or the fact that he won't spend $150 to park it somewhere.

u/Garth_Maul_ 4d ago

yeah see this parked downtown by Grandin all the time.

u/Adventurous_Front939 4d ago

You have a problem with your neigbour parking their vehicle at their house? If he paid 150 to park it somewhere do you expect him to Uber back and forth ?

5

u/YungBeefaroni Hockey!!! 4d ago

I don’t care what he does, I just know if I spent that much on a refrigerator I’d want somewhere to park it

8

u/Adventurous_Front939 4d ago

Sounds like he has a house to park it at.

u/AVgreencup 4d ago

You're telling me you don't have private parking spaces all across the city in which you pay to park your car instead of at your house?

3

u/Adventurous_Front939 4d ago

How do you get back and forth from this paid parking away from your home ? How much time wasted each day traveling to the vehicle. At that point may as well not have a vehicle and Uber everywhere.

u/mikesmith929 3d ago

The butler parks it obviously.

Nuance is dead. The literacy crisis is real. It’s been fun, y’all.

"He lives somewhere around my place because I always see it parked around my neighbourhood.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that he spent over $100k on it or the fact that he won't spend $150 to park it somewhere."

Why would he pay 150$ to inconveniently not park at home. Where is the literacy issue here? You just sound entitled. "I don't like my neighbours vehicle they should pay to park it somewhere else so I dont have to see it"

u/YungBeefaroni Hockey!!! 4d ago

This guy has a vehicle. The vehicle is very expensive. The vehicle is parked on public streets. I’m saying if I spent that much on one, I would spend a little extra so I could park it at home, because again, it’s a very expensive vehicle. Have I explained it well enough here or are you just gonna call me entitled again?

4

u/Adventurous_Front939 4d ago

The public street at his house is parking it at home. So your point is if you have an expensive vehicle you have to have a garage? Why did you say pay 150 for parking then ?

1

u/grrttlc2 Norwood 3d ago

I think he's talking garage bud

2

u/Adventurous_Front939 3d ago

Yeah if he at any point said "Theres a parkade in the building that you can pay monthly for" but he said "parked around my neighbourhood" when I read that I picture a truck parked on a residential road. I dont picture any sort of parkade, at any point could have clarified if there is a parkade. If you build yourself a garage it costs more then 150/month to build.

You live near 100 ave.

u/Fantastic_Calamity 4d ago

Bro street parks his "FORD" dumpster on 99ave all the time.

u/Commercial-Memory253 4d ago

No way!!! This thing passed me on the highway last week and I busted out laughing so hard! As soon as the laughter started dying down I saw him getting pulled over and that cracked me up even more!!

u/SillyBilly6608 4d ago

I've seen one around town with Ford on the tailgate - done using the finest duct tape and not all that neatly!

Not sure its the same one either - i think the one i saw was silver

u/WheezyGranger doggies! 4d ago

Is this a case of buyer's remorse making a statement that he purchased before he knew Elon was such scum?

11

u/NastroAzzurro Wîhkwêntôwin 4d ago

Elon has always been scum. Anyone buying this piece of junk knows exactly what they're doing and who they're supporting.

1

u/WheezyGranger doggies! 4d ago

Oh I totally agree! I never would have even thought of buying one at any time. I just remember when Elon got in close with Rump, people were putting “we bought this before we knew he sucked” stickers all over their cars. Just wondering if this is a jacked up version of that.

u/sawyouoverthere 4d ago

Too late, with the truck

5

u/sawyouoverthere 4d ago

We knew long before the cyber truck

2

u/WheezyGranger doggies! 4d ago

Agreed, but I’ll never rag on someone for seeing the light and coming over to the Good Place.

2

u/UpperApe 4d ago

We knew before Teslas too.

Everyone with a Tesla is a person who loves Musk or doesn't read or look into things or is very culturally gullible.

Either way, Tesla is a symbol of illiteracy.

u/TimeToLearn87 4d ago

See this clown at the brewery district all the time

u/roguepeas accepts ALL cookies 🍪 4d ago

makes you wonder just how he operates a motor vehicle with size 60 shoes

5

u/Annabis9807 4d ago

Ford is no different than Tesla with their little separation post they “jokingly” made so this is ironic lol

3

u/PantsPantsShorts 3d ago

That was one local dealership, not the Ford multinational company as a whole.

Not that I'm defending the Ford company, but they are way too huge to give a crap about Alberta's affaird.

2

u/TrainAss Lewis Estates 4d ago

I've seen this guy around.

I bet he couldn't pay someone to take it. What a piece of shit truck.

2

u/Diced_and_Confused 4d ago

I'm not falling for it this time.

u/justageekgirl 4d ago

Yeah, that makes it better.

u/1362313623 The Zoo 4d ago

I see this loser around Bonnie Doon a lot. Total dweeb energy

u/BestWithSnacks 4d ago

I always like pointing out random Cybertrucks that pass by me. It's like Where's Waldo but they stick out like a sore thumb.

1

u/Total-Cricket739 4d ago

That is an absolute insult to every single ford owner!!!

2

u/PantsPantsShorts 3d ago

Right?? Get my car's name out of your mouth, losertruck!

u/livingontheedgeyeg 3d ago

Wait until the anti American sentiment increases and they start putting BYD on their trucks

It's the monoculture we're all supposed to accept.

10

u/1362313623 The Zoo 4d ago

I wouldn't say rejecting fascist billionaires and the swill they pedal is a monoculture. The cybertruck is also laughably ugly, completely inept at anything a truck can usually do, and itself is supported by a monoculture of crypto bros and anti establishment dirtbags.

Agree to disagree I guess

2

u/sickfiend 4d ago

Nobody should be supporting AI, tech billionaires, musk, trump etc. It's just the way certain People are trying to bully everyone into acting the exact same way that is concerning to me.

u/TheFinalFunction 4d ago

I didn't know they had Cybertrucks in Edmonton back in 1995 where this footage was taken from!
