I once got passed by a rainbow-decal prius with the bumper stickers "0-60 eventually" and "you just got passed by a lesbian in a unicorn outfit"
Sure enough when we stopped at the next light, there were two rather lovey-dovey women in the front seat, and the driver was wearing what looked like a unicorn onesie. It was fantastic.
Incidentally, my wife now has a similar unicorn onesie and wears it when we go grocery shopping.
Now I have to wonder, does she wear a unicorn onesie all the time or does she put it on over her regular street clothes before driving? If the latter, why? Which came first, the sticker or the onesie? If her partner drives the car, is she required to wear the onesie?
It's true. I had a focus before the fiesta (the dealer actually bought my focus for more than it was worth and traded the fiesta for it; some stock related issue and they were desperate for focuses). They're practically identical vehicles.
I drive a Prius and have a very long commute which goes through a rather conservative area. My existence inadvertently pisses off so many big truck drivers. I'll never understand why some people need to speed up and pass me immediately after I've passed them. It's not a competition!
I don't understand the correlation of having a small penis and simping for big oil, either. 🤷🏻♂️
See it with Teslas, too. It's pretty funny to me that even though Tesla is pretty hated, the people who hate them for good reason don't go around keying them or trying to run them off the road, while the jerk offs who hate them just for being electric are the people who do those things.
Saw that recently as well. Wondering if the stats are US versus the world. BMWs just don't seem common enough in the US to hold the top spot. Unless every driver is constantly tanked at all times.
At least the alcoholic grindset yuppies are well represented by the BMW 4 series and Audi A4 in the top 5.
Absolutely zero surprise of Ram trucks being #1. The only vehicle that has ever crashed into me was a Ram. All the tires were mismatched and the driver came to his deposition with alcohol on his breath. They’re a fun bunch, those Ram drivers.
I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.
Unless they are in the Army. Then they would rightfully call themselves a soldier. Soldier, Airman, Marine, Seaman, Guardian and Spacie. I guess not sure on the last one
Doesn't it also mean a higher compression ratio? Meaning more power behind the same A:F ratio? Or am I as dumb as the guy who put the stickers on that truck?
It's something rednecks will ask other rednecks about whether they have one or not. If you see that sticker, there is about a 30 percent chance that the driver of the vehicle is drunk.
When I’m driving all day, I try as hard as possible to forget who passes me and who I pass. This little kid in my mind is like “pay attention, lars, don’t let them get there first!”. It’s gross.
And here I am with like 10 hobbies and unable to keep up with them. I still find myself unable to communicate with others though as my hobbies are niche and not the norm for most people.
I wouldn't recommend using vinyl lettering on a RAM as your method of communication. Try a makerspace, they're wonderfully wide-ranging in terms of hobbies and interests.
What’s hilarious is they know it annoys you. This kind of driver lives to take up space in your life. They’d build a giant statue belching fire and yelling “REMEMBER ME” in your backyard if they could.
Like, congrats on being a soldier, I mean, respect for doing that (except for that you can literally just walk in and become one, but fine they're braver than I am.) But then driving a Hemi? Anyone can do that. It does not require a college education to purchase a car and drive it.
This is a man who has very little going on in their life and has to act super proud to make up for it.
the sort of man who names his car, and puts the name on the car, and feels the need to include quotes, because in writing as in all areas of life, he doesn't know what he's doing, though he'd have a sad little testosterone fit if you told him so. it's the real meaning of the word removed
Round here we call this “micro-penis syndrome”, the urge to tell everyone that this is how they are compensating for possessing what they believe to be tiny penis.
It’s their perception. For all we know they are average size. Penis is being used as a euphemism for masculinity. The point being, these types of signs are pure posturing, “proving” that they are the “alpha male”.
Dudes that say “hemi” still are stuck in the past and stupid. I say this as someone who owns and drives a Ram 2500 “Hemi” (don’t worry, no DUIs). It’s a marketing term at this point that dumb grunts (and I don’t just mean in the military) buy into because they feel special. It’s like dudes that say they drive a Cummins or Power Stroke (yes all of these are as erotic as they sound). It’s an engine. At the end of the day it’s kind of a crappy one too. Most Dodge Hemi’s have what’s known as Hemi-tick that is this sort of constant clicking on idle, they’re incredibly inefficient, they make mediocre power compared to their competition and the reliability on them is questionable at best. Overall good maintenance will keep these motors working fine and running for a long time, but the paint on every Ram will fade and chip, the clear coat will crap out, and the interior will eventually start to rattle and fall apart faster than the competition. 10/10 vehicles.
It's a V8 engine with a massive bore. It's fast and powerful. Being passed by one isn't really an insult. It's like "okay, I'm driving a corolla and a V8 just passed me, this is to be expected."
It's supposed to be a good thing. I don't get the context of the stickers either unless it's just supposed to be a useless explanation of the situation.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "hemi" and why should I care if I got passed by it? I believe all veterans deserve respect, but also they should still respect others. I know guys who were in the army that, if they hadn't enlisted, would probably have ended up in prison instead. Meaning, that just because someone has served in the army as a soldier, it doesn't necessarily mean they deserve the highest of all possible praise.
I have family in the military and they're all good people, so I'm not putting down anyone in the military - but I believe there are many other professions that should be getting lots of thanks for their service to the public also.
They don't but even so, odds are this guy didn't serve in active conflict thus not a war veteran. Joining the arms forces does not make you a war veteran and thus deserving of your respect.
Well I don't know what "service" goes around destabilizing the fucking planet, but whatever it is, I want to buy shares in it. I know a good thing when I see it. Also - what about doctors, surgeons who repair bones and heal people, EMTs and first responders and fire fighters? Or are all those people unworthy of praise for their service in your opinion?
It's really a strange thing to put on a truck window. But I hope someday we can move beyond associating dumb things with "gay." Or using "gay" as a slur or a putdown.
You're right. It's not something I generally use in conversation (not since the early 2010s anyway) and I'm not sure why I thought it was cool to say it on here. Just a shitty reactionary thing that I blurted out.
