"It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it's kind of weird, it's ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it's pretty frickin' cool," he says. "It's kind of been sad, because I've been trying to prove to people that it's a really awesome truck that's not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it's just... Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate and sad."

Trabants were fucking amazing. The most reliable car I've driven. Fuel pump problems? No fuel pump. Oil pump problems? No oil pump. Radiator/water pump problems? Air cooling. Ignition timing problems? Dedicated per-cyl ignition switch. Rust? Cardboard. Had a fender bender? Replace the panel in half an hour, painting is optional. Getting killed in high speed accident? No high speed.

From what i've seen they genuinely look like DEEPLY fun hop in and buzz about cars to dick around in the countryside. I saw a guy dothe impossible...

Actually put professionally made parts in one.

I cannot drive due to no depth perception. I would love to try one of those little guys out. There's next to nothing on them to break and what can break can be rednecked back together. I get WHY the line fell out of fashion, but they really are the eastern bloc version of the beetle and I can respect that.
