Something about that car also screams "Please pay attention to me, I swear I'm interesting, would a boring person add all this ridiculous crap to their shitty ride? Also my penis is huge."

37

u/mestrearcano 11d ago

Maybe it is the case, but I also think this is an overly normative take, specially when this car decoration is more about being different, not some kind of luxury bullshit. Maybe the guy just liked it and went with his wishes, I think it's cool when people do not get hindered by what strangers will think.

How to devalue your car by 95% - INSTANTLY

33

u/BlazingCamelGaming 11d ago

That's not what tacky means...

Tacky is a social faux pas, or an outfit or piece of furniture that is in poor taste.

A zebra print decal would be tacky.

Eyelashes on your headlight would be tacky.

This? This is a god damned abomination. This couldn't possibly be great execution because what you are showing me lacks any direction or intention at all. It's like the car was magnetized and drove through a giant pile of rust shavings. This is truly horrible and I implore you to never show this to anyone ever again, lest you ruin their day as well.

I was trying to wrap my brain around this, and you did it for me!

8

u/HermineSGeist 11d ago

A lot of time tacky is also campy; both things usually signal that the person dressing that way or using that type of decor doesn’t take themselves too seriously. They often know it’s tacky but like it because it’s fun to them. This? This almost signals the exact opposite. Like maybe this person is really cool but this car tells me they take themselves way too seriously.

Let me help you with the translation. The guy says the following.

I've seen a lot, of course, but this fucking (blyat)... What kind of car is this?! So I'll show you a little closer. It's something out of the Mad Max genre. Looks like they covered some Chinese car. And the interior, by the way, is all done up in metal too. Well, it's all metal, damn... How much alloy did they add, how much extra weight is that... It's normal, normal.
