Mori: I remember when the Cybertrukk first hit headlines, how the sight of it made me irrationally angry, to the point I had to sit down and figurw out WHY, since even Hummer stretch limos hadn't gotten that big a rise out of me. At the end, I realized it was because the Cybertrukk was the power fantasy of the geeky rugged individualist surviving at the end of the world.

Well, now there's COVID, it's an end of the world, and I'm mad that my stupid gut grudge over the mentality of a dude producing a car seems to have been RIGHT.

I still think that the cybertruck looks like a child's drawing of the Lancia Stratos Zero trying to make it look "tougher." https://www.autoevolution.com/news/lancia-stratos-zero-concept-revisited-rendered-into-lancia-stratos-hz-zero-142595.html

Mori: that is the POINTIEST car I ever done seen. It's like a greyhound but a car.
