    I passed a parked one on my way to work today, and while I didn't have time to stop, or even slow down to take a good look at it, the quick glance I got was enough to tell me that people can't be using the bed with any frequency. The edges of the tailgate have to be razor sharp, and they didn't seem to have any kind of significant radius curves on them, which would lessen the risk of injury.

    I spent 5 years working for a fabrication shop that made kitchen equipment out the same kind of stainless steel they use on the Wankpanzer. I know how sharp that shit can be, and we were using thicker sheets of the stuff than appeared to be on the Wankpanzer. The edges on that fucker are more akin to razor blades than they are to the kind of stuff we made. I had to smooth the edges of pans so that folks who handled them didn't have to worry about getting cut. Which was pretty easy to do if you weren't wearing heavy gloves. I know they didn't smooth the edges because I had to custom fabricate a tool to do it properly, and there's no way folks on an assembly line would have time, or the ability to do that.

    Three of the Cybertrucks I see around here have wraps advertising a business. Then there's another couple that are also wrapped in solid colors. They're going to be pleasantly surprised when the vinyl comes off. I haven't looked at one close enough to see how sharp the edges of the metal is on one of those, if I see one in a parking lot I'll try to take a look.

    They definitely look better with wraps.

    ...in the same way a turd in a plastic baggie in the trash looks better than a turd right in the middle of the sidewalk.

    I don't know. I prefer the more subdued lights - blue and yellow are good. I don't like the red ones, though.

    So, about 10 minutes into this video, dude says, "I wonder what would happen if we shot a Cybertruck with it?" You get a shot of a fucked up Cybertruck falling apart on a test track, and then dude gets some stainless steel panels about as thick as those on a Wankpanzer, and proceeds to shoot them. *Spoiler Alert* They put holes in the steel (and he probably wasn't using the best arrows for the job).

    If you look near the top of the still from "Heavy Metal," you'll notice that there's a couple of vehicles that look like the Wankpanzer.

    due to mistakenly eating a can of 'tainted carrots' in a pre fight rutual Supermans X-RAY vision monentarily failed him and what he thought was a cybertruck was just a dumpster after all...in reflection Superman was grateful and he realized to his luck that a cybertruck would not do fuck even if your opponent did not duck.........sorry i will turn in my keyboard now and serve my term out peacefully
