You don’t get the 2CV. The ugly duckling is something special. And this revamp is good fun.

Y’all worry so much about looking tough that you don’t see the fun in life.

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.

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?
