I haven’t seen a Cybertruck in the wild around here yet. I doubt that I would barf in my mouth. More likely I would just giggle. It always reminds me of what would happen if you let a 4 year old design a car. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/sXsGOUq.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/sXsGOUq) I have to give Elon Musk some credit. Cars are a lot less expensive to design if you don’t have to pay someone with any skill whatsoever to design them! ---

This morning’s sighting was a VW Beetle with a two-tone paint job (red top, silver sides) and a racing number “65” on the passenger door (I assume the driver’s door as well, but didn’t see that). ---

Whelp, I saw my first Cybertruck (other than ones being hauled on a car hauler) today. It was coming at me on a 4-lane highway and at first I thought I was looking at a mirror coming toward me – my brain didn’t even recognize it as a vehicle. As soon is it did I exclaimed out loud to my empty car “holy shit!! Look! It’s a Cybertruck!” I felt like a fool, but quickly realized that I wasn’t as big a fool as whoever bought Elon’s monstrosity. It really is phenomenally ugly and simply screams _douchebag_. ---

On my commute this morning there was a [Buick Reatta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Reatta) behind me in traffic for a while, Buick’s short-lived attempt to build a two seater coupe in the late 1980s. ---
