The list of famous auto industry flops is long and storied, topped by stinkers like Ford's Edsel and exploding Pinto and General Motors's unsightly Pontiac Aztek crossover SUV.

Keep truckin', like the doo-dah man
Together, more or less in line
Just keep truckin' on'

Originally something to do with Camptown Races (before my time) and or drug dealers.

Popularized again by the Grateful Dead.

But is it a bigger flop than the Cybertruck ICE version, the Pontiac Aztek?

I give the finger to every cyber truck that drives by.

Not because of Musk (I started this before the 2020 election), but because it's a guarantee that whoever is driving that hideous piece of s*&^ is a douchebag deserving of the finger for just being a hideous piece of s*&^ driving douchebag.

I'm surprised the Tesla board hasn't already fired Musk.

To make matters worse, he's discontinuing their best selling model, the Model Y, sales in Europe are down 40-60% depending on the country, and every time he opens his mouth TSLA shares drop even further. TSLA's already down 56% since Trump's election.

My first car was an awful Nash Rambler. People would get a junk Nash and set up a booth at the county fair and raise money for charity by charging a buck to whack it with a sledge hammer. It was called "Smash the Nash".

Does that give anyone ideas?

Cybertruck ICE version, the Pontiac Aztek?

Looks like an Aztek, burns like a Pinto.

The Tesla Board is, imo, like the Trump Cabinet.

Chosen for loyalty to the leader.

Elon's Douche Panzers have been a bad joke since day one. I didn't think it was possible to out-douche the Humvee, but the super-genius pulled it off.
