Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 05, 2025

The “slug bug” was better looking.

Those cybertrucks look like something out of ROBOCOP…

Ugliest vehicle on the road!

You have to sing the song tho….

The president of the USA owns that company

Do people care anymore?

Saw one at the mall…painted red and black. Didn’t improve the looks, either.

Don’t mention Cybertrucks!

I’m looking forward to the Back to the Future where Xarty looks at Doc Xrown and says “You built a time machine? Out of a CyberTruck!?”

Heard Tesla sales are down since November…

this is funny, I have seen two in the past week

They are hideously ugly vehicles

No. No that ugly thing is not. I point and laugh when I see one.

Not see ugly truck.

I’m sure Musk has put all his holdings into a blind trust since he’s a government employee, albeit an “advisor”. And his security clearance and that of his Musketeers is coming, just wait ….

Cybertruck uglier than actual slug

I drive a 1949 GMC 3/4T, 5 windows that I restored and mild modified a little over 20 years ago and I still usually get compliments when I’m out and about with it. Then one day I’m unloading some packages at the Post Office. when I was shocked to hear “Man that’s the ugliest truck I’ve ever seen!”. The comment came from a few guys staring at a Cybertruck about 5 spaces down the row. I just smiled with relief that it wasn’t my truck.

They’d have verry sore arms if they lived in the S.F. Bay Area. I see those ugly A$$ things ALL the time!

I saw one at Denny’s yesterday, never got to see one close up. Yep, one ugly vehicle.

We called it “punch buggy.”

I’ve seen one, but it was kind of lost in the hoard of monster Dress-up trucks.

Cybertrucks are so futuristically ugly & intimidating. Tell me why anyone wants one?

The “cyber truck” is a piece of junk, and totally useless.

“Back in my day”, it was a VW and we called it a “punch buggy” quickly followed by a punch in the arm. Who in their right mind thought that was fun? Actually, we did, and we laughed like ninnies afterwards.

They are huge!

Plywood car kit & grey paint

They could probably use a little product placement.

I do like EVs but the Cyber truck design is so useless. Anyone remembering when the old style VW bug was nick named a pregnant roller-skate?

Before “Slug Bug”, there was “4-hole Buick.”

I live across the street from a high school. The first time I saw a Cybertruck I thought it was working project from the auto shop class.

Robocops Cybertruck gets no respect

we point and laugh at the guy inside and his tiny… oh, nevermind

They’re making the wrong motion. It’s supposed to be outstretched, stiff arm with palm down. THAT’s how you salute a Swasitcar!

I think you mean “swasticar”.

Go on YouTube and watch videos of cybertrucks failing to do truck things

2nd strip I’ve seen today to reference the CyberTruck

You are getting extra points if it’s already on fire. Mr. Big Double Bonus if it blows up.

Oh! We’re referring to a Swasticar!

A coworker asked me and another friend to pick up her VW Bug because she could not get off work before the dealer closed so we went. I got the keys and headed for the parking lot, got in started her up and headed for the freeway on ramp where I floored it and was surprised by the small whine coming out of the motor… TURBO!!!! What a blast LOL

Coincidentally, look at the “BC” strip today.

at Denny’s?! silver spoon and a paper plate

Maybe combine the names: “D-bag Bug!”

When I first saw a picture of a cybertruck I thought it was like a prototype or concept vehicle. I didn’t realize it was the finished product.

“Cybercr@p” is more like it! Nuff said.

We’re getting slugged pretty hard by elon now.

Not in Northern California. You’ll find plenty there. And no, I’m not advertising; I’m warning you.

instead of slug a bug it’s dumpster fire

Let’s not normalize these tin cans, eh Drabble Guy?

I will have to confess, I did not know what the “slug bug” game was until recently. Back in my day, we didn’t count VW Beetles, we counted cars with one headlight burned out (Padiddle). Whoever called the padiddle first got to choose someone else in the car who then had to remove an article of clothing. If you called padiddle, however, and it was a motorcycle you had to remove an article of clothing. Needless to say, this was not played in the car with parents or siblings. The secret to winning was two-fold: wear lots of layers, and keep a watchful eye. It also helped if you ganged up on someone prior to starting out on the excursion.

I saw pictures of those abominations online for sometime, but I didn’t believe they were actually real until I saw one on the road. All I can say is WHY!!!
