    You’re right, it’s not available in the US, so I don’t get it.

    Sometimes ugly ducklings are just ugly, and looking tough while going VROOM is the fun in life!

      If you only knew that you don’t look very tough in oversized vehicles designed to avoid safety standards, emission standards and whatever other quality standards, just to pretend they could theoretically go off-road and put everyone else at unnecessarily grave risk to health and life.

        Sorry wanting the barest hint of style makes you think I’m driving a Hummer at 50 mph through residential neighborhoods.

          You mean you think these obese vehicles exude style? Oh well. A sleek sports car might be stylish, SUVs are just amorphous blobs.

            No, I mean that: Isn’t exactly a Corvette.

            If I’m pulling up in the fancy new whip, I want the assumption to be “this guy likes to drive”, not “this guy likes to make Mario noises whilst being fucked in the ass in the backseat”.

              Wow, you really appear to need some heavy compensation. Apperently you think you get it from disproportionately designed overweight childcrushers. A fit guy in such a 2CV looks like twice the man than some compensating “alpha male” in some obese truck.

                Your idea of a conversation is arbitrarily assigning random, poorly spelled strawmen that you can knock down. Do I really need to be here for it?

                  Says the person who started the name calling and insulted drivers with a line like “this guy likes to make Mario noises whilst being fucked in the ass in the backseat”.___”

                    Bud, our interaction began with you accusing me of trying to “look tough in oversized vehicles designed to avoid safety standards, emission standards and whatever other quality standards” because my personal tastes exclude shitty slugbug knockoffs.

                    I don’t know what to tell you buddy, I’m sure the insecure guy driving the mega XL heavy duty in the burbs that you desperately want to unleash all that self-righteous impotent rage on is out there somewhere, but I’m not him XD

              If that car inspires you to finally release your inner gay, you do you.

              Not all driving needs to be fast to be fun. That’s why gokarts exist. Smoll cars are fun because of the turning radius and they can be a fast slow.

              Also have you ever seen the original going through corners? Especially in the movies from “La Gendarme de Saint-Tropez”. The nun driving it is having a good day.
