What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[hairnet]

so 

did a roadtrip from louisiana to north carolina

had planned to do kittyhawk for obvs reasons but from charlotte airport it was 400  miles further out - which i didnt have time for (it also doesnt look far on the map)

but looking at map i was looking at norfolk (not that one @wuvvum )

and down thru delaware (i wanted to do that last time from dulles)

its 280 miles WTAF!!!!

so saves doing a one way again cos its still closer to go back to washington

america is nuts - @PhilA distances dont bother me but yankee ones just mindsplode

[wuvvum]

I've been to Norfolk, VA as well.  Funny place.  The tinkle of banjos was distant but definitely audible.

saw an fb thing about omg someones got a cybertruck and is driving it illegally in uk clickbait bollox

rofl at all the fluffers in the comment omg omg you cant do that its not uk certified (which its not)

then theyre all justifying why it cant then theyre all falling over themselves to point people out when they quote wrong regs

bumpers? no? modern cars havent had bumpers for years

lights yes but only the colour and the always on thing as for every american SPEC car not american

edges well maybe as long as you cover them up

but the thing they dont seem to get is omg its not insured/legal

well it is (if only for a short time - its got a european reg on it (french/italian cant make out)

which means its legal until he has to change it

I mean, I've only ever seen Tesla vehicles being driven around. 

They aren't the prettiest cars, especially the bigger ones that look like an overinflated computer mouse.

The Cybertruck is just.. big and offensive to the old retinas. 

It's misproportioned from pretty much every angle.

 

The main certification failure I think is for pedestrian safety. The lighting all seems fairly sane on it, the one I followed was fine.

sharp edges are the least of your problems if youre run over by one tho

Yeah. I don't feel particularly like I'm going to have a long life today.

After market back box tip scrapping the tarmac on bumps. Fully loaded today with four big buggers tools and a load of luggage. First time its showered sparks on the motorway. Should cut it down really though it seems to be slowly sorting itself out.  Tow bar only decks out on speed bumps, drop curbs and occasional back lanes. 

Makes me grin because A i am a child and B the rear beam is still lapping up abuse.

I asked chatGPT, it has no fucking clue either:

It seems like the post is jumbled and repetitive, but here's a possible interpretation:

"Is any pub open today? Got kicked out of Mrs. [something] pub. Maybe there's another pub open today? Please let me know if there's one open."

It might be referring to someone trying to find a pub that's open after being kicked out of another. Let me know if you'd like it rephrased differently!

it says the consul they used was religious and they ended up with 5 inches of water in cos the film was filmed in autumn (LOL_BRITISH SUMMAZ)
