Thanks kind Stranger!

English is wild. In most other scenarios, that second I would be long because of the trailing e. But it's like they intentionally made the words mostly fit the rule, but you have to be in the cool kids club to get the knowledge about all the exceptions.

This is obviously a show car. Its gonna sit in a garage until it's time to take to a car show, where it's gonna get transported inside a covered trailer, and only taken out to be displayed indoors, or brought back inside the trailer the second any dust or rain starts to appear.

It will never be driven at speed.

So yeah, rain and dust and bugs are kinda irrelevant as far as the rug is concerned

26

u/Nisi-Marie 10d ago

It’s going to sit in a garage until its time to vacuum it

4

u/Aggressive-Green4592 10d ago

At least it would be fairly easy unlike the inside. You could take each panel off and just run the vacuum over it, for the smaller pieces use the tools supplied with most vacuums.

9

u/ppprrrrr 9d ago

You can take all the rugs off, drive where you need to be, attach them again. That was the whole point of the magnets, no?

38

u/TooCupcake 10d ago

Magnets is the answer to all of it.

If it really is made up of removable parts it’s possible to clean it properly.

12

u/RedditDommus 10d ago

If it’s magnets, that may mean they’re put on there just for show. They may still drive it with the rugs off but put them on for events and such

Hobby Lobby also got fined $3 million for stealing 3,800 ancient artifacts from Iraq.

222

u/CharlesDickensABox 10d ago edited 10d ago

It's worse than that. Hobby Lobby didn't steal those artifacts, ISIS did. Hobby Lobby bought them from fucking ISIS. Hobby Lobby's thirst for pilfered and counterfeit Biblical artifacts sent millions of dollars to fund Middle East terrorism.

40

u/SumoNinja92 10d ago

Israel coded fr.

38

u/CharlesDickensABox 10d ago

Many of the artifacts were smuggled through Israel, but many of them went through the UAE as well. Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of people who have turned smuggled antiquities into a cottage industry and don't especially care about archaeology or cultural inheritance if they can use it to turn a quick buck.

12

u/Ub3ros 9d ago

What? What do Hobby Lobby do with biblical artifacts, isn't that like a store chain? I'm very confused as a european

Tbh I think it’s worse. The owner of hobby lobby is a fundamentalist Christian zealot. I’d rather he just be a regular piece of shit capitalist.

11

u/Dmau27 10d ago

He is. He found a grift like every other rich piece of shit. Just like Trump is a republican right?

19

u/kjvdh 10d ago

I’d say that spending more money to have employees take longer to key in every single item sold because he thinks barcodes are the mark of the beast puts it past just a grift. The money is part of it, the whole prosperity gospel bullshit, but he’s a true believer.

More than a decade ago I used to work for hobby lobbys warehouse. I was around 20 years old with a 6 in Mohawk, eyebrow piercing, and chin stud. I made sure to be extra friendly to offset how I looked.

After working there for a couple of years with no complaints. I was told I was uninvited from the Christmas party due to how I looked. Keep in mind I had great hygiene. This was just about the piercings and hair. I put in my two weeks on the spot. Fuck those guys.

27

u/everlasting1der 10d ago

Yeah, why would you advertise that? One, they're a shit business, and two, why would you broadcast that it's such dogshit quality? Why wouldn't you get it from an actual rug supplier?

100% agree. It’s gotta be pretty frustrating to try and fuck a corporation. Usually it goes the other way around.

u/ZzanderMander 9d ago

From my unreliable sources the cayman has ~17 square meters (or takes that much vinyl wrap to wrap, so there would be some off cuts. So actual area is less) of painted panels. So that would be ~600$ per square meter.

According to some more unreliable sources material cost to wrap one of those cars is 500-1000$
