        If you don’t want people to destroy your swatzicar then 1. don’t buy a nazi vehicle and 2. Don’t buy a truck with the highest traffic fatality rate of any vehicle. Your freedom of self expression ends where your choice kills other people

    Sorry, no sympathy. I have some sympathy for the Tesla owners who bought theirs years ago before Musk went completely mask off. But Musk has been an overt Nazi since the first cybertruck was released. Do you know what you call an Apartheid baby that platforms and massively promotes Nazis in the name of “free speech” while censoring other voices (see ‘cis’ as a slur). You call them a Nazi. Musk has been dealing in overt racism, malignant transphobia, and eugenics for years now. If you simply didn’t care about this, and still gave that many $100k of your money? I’m sorry, but you just gave $100k to a man you knew was a Nazi. You’re a literal Nazi sympathizer. Or, at best, you’re a person who cares so little about fighting Nazis that you will willingly give the nation’s most prominent Nazi a hundred grand.

    So yes, it is absolutely is fair to judge people who bought a cybertruck. They’re Nazi sympathizers. I don’t know if I would personally engage in such vandalism. But if I was on a jury with such a case before me, I would certainly be practicing jury nullification. Some paint or flat tires is a fraction of what a car like that deserves. That thing should be burned to ashes. That is what should really be done to Nazi symbols like the cybertruck. Here in 2025, if you are driving a cybertruck. There is no way for you to have that vehicle without having every chance in the world to see buying it directly supports Nazis. Every cybertruck is already a rolling swastika.

          He started his descent but most people weren’t aware. Nobody isn’t aware now, and anyone that still defends him would rather complain about snowflakes than put that bumper sticker on their car.

        Muriatic acid will etch and corrode stainless quite effectively.

        You should wear gloves and glasses when messing with the stuff. Don’t breathe the fumes, they’re chlorine.

        I would think that a small paintbrush with the acid in a plastic cup would work well for any slogans you might wish to write on sheets of stainless.

    If I was buying something, literally anything, and the people I am buying from make me sign a thing that said I couldn’t sell the thing I am buying for X period of time after buying it, that would be a major red flag to me that perhaps this product is actually a huge piece of shit because they’re already worried I will try to get rid of it within X amount of time.

            I want a 2008 Miata. A 4 cylinder manual with a couple hundred horsepower that doesn’t weigh very much and has a suspension someone thought about for a little while and a sticker price of $25 grand, and it’ll probably make better gas mileage than the old Buick Century I drive to the store today just on weight alone.

            Like, if you said “2008 Miata, or a Pigani Zonda. Choose one and it’s yours for $25,000, but the terms are you have to own and drive it you can’t just sell it” I’m going for the Mazda.

              Miata is extremely good taste. And getting parts for them seemingly will never be a challenge.

                Pretty easy and cheap to maintain for the most part, just don’t damage the body cuz that’s where it gets expensive and takes forever to replace, for example, the entire front half which is one piece.

                Had one for two years. LOVED it. Highly recommend, tho a used Cayman may be a more practical and less worrisome alternative

                  If my not understanding and calling out the opaque calculations that turn “someone liking cool, fast machines” into a “dick” makes me a dick, then sure. Whatever.

                  I also don’t see how asking about one person’s rationale equates to “defending” another different group of people. But I guess questioning this rationale will make me a double-dick.

        Yeah honestly I wish more products had laws like this. Or, actually, the rule should be you can’t sell it at a higher price within a certain time frame, because that’s a better indicator of scalping.

        I’ve been wanting to buy one of the B580 GPU’s intel released, but as soon as there’s stock it immediately gets bought out and resold on amazon at a 150$ markup. I can’t think of any other rule that would effectively stop this behavior.
