We have here an AI version of an image of a lass. Eyes are a tad pink, finger tips a tad blue.

During the first eclipse I worked with a model name Mary. I have to post this here as the other location for the fotum does not allow nudes.

The story:
So, your so correct, animals do not act any differently. With heavy leather gloves on picking up a completely docile 7 foot diamond back rattle snake and moving it away from where I was photographing the nude model that day (you know girls, there such a bother over snakes!). Stupid snake!

So, I had to take the shoot into my studio indoors.

Didn't think much of it. SS body is interesting but that's all. It has the look of a more expensive car but it's still way out of my league. It was introduced right at the time when Chevy skipped 1 year of the Corvette. There was no 83 Corvette. The Corvette was less expensive and the C4 Corvette while didn't have the exotic look of the Delorean I would want it better.


Ya know, you got me thinking, I was in a memory loss, I thought it was introduced and on the streets earlier.
Oh well, it's a senior thing.

But any way the cybertruck and the delorean only have the stainless steel in common. Even then the delorean has a very thin skin of SS the body is still fiberglass I think. Otherwise there is no thing similar between the 2 vehicles.


Oh yea, obviously they are worlds apart in every aspect except having four wheels in common.
The more I looked at the truck online the more I can see what it is popular among those who can afford it.
To me, if either a gas, diesel or EV, I cannot afford to buy a new or resent model of either of them. What I have works for me.
The EV Tesla truck I personally do not think it is so ugly, and it is not right to say anything without actually seeing one.
My whole statements which generated some BS replies we based on the link Jerry initially posted.
I can live with the looks of it.
In the LONG RUN, What is the impact of EVs which are trying to be forced on us which is stupid.
I would really like to see one and better yet touch and even test drive one.
Ah, as far as the DeLorean, I look back many years ago in a past life and I recall seeing one and it had been very well used and driven. I remember the interior was really Uh ??? well used, seat cover and stuff so it had been used a lot, but then I was just walking by, this is a brief memory from a long gone past life of many.
Since I live in the north Texico area I would think eventually I would see one. I think I will look around to see who has one and go look at it here int he DFW area.
Well anyway Beb, thank you for taking time to chat with me.
Bruce.

The Miata is quite different from the Deloreans. You don't need a lot of power in the Miata to have fun. The Deloreans needs power badly. The DeLoreans didn't take off and thus it's more valuable now.


I wish they did but you know how it goes, the power would have been improved like other cars have been also. I never drove a DeLorean but sure wish I could have. I thought the concept was good. But hey, things were they way they were back then.

It does look good. Under powered and price much higher than the Corvette that Deloreans tried to compete with. Around 8000 were made. I don't know how many are still working now. If you have the car in good shape you can make even when take into account of inflation.


You are so right Bebu;
I think and thought then too it was a good idea and time for car like that. Just recall the Datsun 240z, it took off like crazy. I wanted one sooo bad but my driving record held me back.
Look at the Mazda Miata when it came out. It took off too. I think the DeLorean would have too if given the time and right marketing support. Under powered yea but so is the Miata, I know I have two, a 2000 and 2001 SE.
but fun to drive.

No the De Lorean was a good buy because nobody was buying them and thus so few of them available now. If they were best sellers they are not worth much today.


Hey Beb,
I remember the De Lorean. I liked it, I thought it was a damn nice care, I still do.

USED prices vary. The cheapest USED price on eBay was, according you your link, $151,000. Another had an offer of $158,000 and the seller turned it down. A Porsche dealership paid $244,000 for one at an auction. These are all USED prices for the 3 motor $100,000 model.

So people are making from $51,000 to $144,000 PROFIT on their $100,000 purchase. This hints that the MSRP of this truck is NOT outrageous.

BTW, pointing out the serious errors in your statements doesn't point to one being "obviously emotionally disturbed." It's rather normal behavior to point out errors in facts, particularly when those errors are claimed as "just the facts and the real truth"One might say your attachment to misinformation seems a bit overboard, particularly insinuating one is "emotionally disturbed" for pointing you in the right direction.

Whelp, it seems if you had $100,000 to spend on a Tesla Cybertruck, you could have sold it for a profit of $51 -$144,00. So I guess you (and I) missed out on the deal of a lifetime.


Hell yea I missed out too.
The two links I sent, spent 30 seconds ot pull them up, sure shows this as people auctioned them off or resold. Not the first boat I missed.
IF Jerry had not made this post I would probably never would know this and I have have yet to see one but would like too.

You sure had some serious negative opinions on a subject you knew NOTHING about.

As for "keepin' it real" about everything you said about this truck was flat out wrong. MSRP is $65-75,000 LESS than you claimed. It tows 11000 lbs, has a 2 1/2 ton payload. The body is super strong stainless steel. About all you got right is YOU think it's ugly.

Fact is, people that were lucky enough to buy one are selling them USED for a $75,000 profit, so some people must like the looks. A few years ago I thought it was ugly as well but it tends to grow on you as you get used to it.

I would love to own one if it were not a coal burner. Every vehicle I've owned in the past 65 years, both foreign & domestic, turned into rust buckets. This trucks SS body would be terrific. This is the first auto since the DeLorean that doesn't have planned obsolescence built in. The "powers that be" took care of DeLorean for upsetting their apple cart, and you can bet they will try that with Musk as well.

Now you know it's NOT "a lot of money for nothing", and your Dodge Ram PU truck can NOT "carry more than probably at least 10 of those ugly EV trucks could" (it tows 11,000 pounds, 1 1/2 ton payload,) SS bullet proof body that will never rust away, 0-60 in <3 seconds, a range of 320- 440 miles, 825 HP.

How do you feel about it now, besides it's looks?

What is wrong with you bro ?
Again, I RESPONDED TO THE LINK POSTED BY Jerry, that's all !!!!!!!!!!

At that time that was all I knew about it and never heard of it before. So, I know more now, actually it the 'todays' look.
By the way, a quick search I just did brought this up:
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2024-tesla-cybertruck-shows-up-on-ebay-sells-like-hotcakes-might-be-the-cheapest-so-far-231563.html

ALSO;
https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/cybertruck

So prices vary.

Looking at it again on my desktop I do not have a problem with the looks.
NO DOUBT it is well engineered and built.

At 72 I do not think I will be getting anything new.
So, enjoy your Easter day.

Your pricing is flat out bogus. I've seen numerous pricing and they are all consistent with the $60k for one motor, $80k for 2 motor and $100k for 3 motor models. Never saw anyone list a $165-175k model. Just randomly looked at two more sites, Motor Trend https://www.motortrend.com/features/2024-tesla-cybertruck-ev-pickup-price-msrp/ and Car and Driver https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/cybertruck and both sources are about exactly what has been reported about everywhere.

Your right, I could care less what you think but if you post blatantly false info and claim it as simple fact, be prepared for someone or many to point out the errors of your ways. BTW, the motor trend site also lists comparative pickup pricing for other major brands of trucks.

If you think the cyber truck is ugly, that's an opinion. If you state as fact that they cost $165-175k that's just bogus.
BTW, I don't own an EV, I stated clearly IMO coal burners are not yet ready for prime time.

Ok BD, READ WHAT I PREVIOUSLY SAID !
I noted and responded to Jerry's post and his link that I opened and got the prices from there ! PERIOD !
Here it is for you:
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Tesla-Cybertruck-d3353

I have never heard of this truck before until this post. Period !!
So to publicly say my pricing is bogus is BS !! It is NOT my pricing. I just responded to a post I opened. Period.

You are obviously emotionally disturbed by this so I felt I needed to publicly clear it up.
I hope you had a good bowl movement today and feel better and no I am not offended, I am just clearing up my reply to post and link posted here. Period.
I hope the Easter Bunny comes to see you.
Keep'n real, Bruce in Texas.
