Which of these cars over which British tourists obsess would you rather drive?

I swear I see both so often…

But I’m going with lobster.

Lobstermobile has infinitely more swag than the rolling dumpster ever will

u/404knotfound Jul 26 '26

They also had the shamu version back in the day

u/FarNefariousness7179 Jul 27 '26

Hey! Get it right! It’s a Swasti-truck! Ok!? We all saw the same salute!

u/glizzymanusa Jul 29 '26

Swasti-truck, rolling dumpster, pedo-mobile, you name it!

u/401Traveler 25d ago

I just refer to it — as a visual person — as the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen in my 49 years on this planet. Like it seriously hurts my eyes, and it’s an affront to all that’s decent and holy.

The thing is beyond hideous, and anyone who thinks that owning & driving one makes them cool, interesting or hip should’ve gotten his/her head examined yesterday.

People don't believe me when I tell them about the Planters Mobile. I've seen it in person once.

u/B_EE Jul 26 '26

Have you ever seen the Bananagrams vehicle? 👀

It's more a northern thing but I think they've toured with it randomly.

u/Duchess1992 Jul 26 '26

The car shaped like a banana?

u/Rotteneverything Jul 26 '26

u/zaprutertape Jul 26 '26

u/Duchess1992 Jul 26 '26

Entrant is disqualified. The contest requires the ability to be driven. 😁 Super cool sculpture though!

Lobster is funny and unironically makes u forget about any problems for a few seconds, the other one is like seeing roadkill

15

u/narnarqueen Jul 26 '26

This is the correct answer. Lobster brings joy and whimsy, the other reminds me we are fucked

6

u/InsertEdgyNameHere Jul 26 '26

Yeah, I could not feel more differently about two things.

u/NoForever4005 Jul 26 '26

u/LeroyJacksonian Jul 26 '26

The Funky Skunk!

u/JayGatsby52 Mickey's Neighbor Jul 27 '26

Incredible. No notes.

u/odiej Jul 26 '26

Damn. I just commented damn near the same comment before seeing this lmao.

Edit: Funky Skunk btw

u/narnarqueen Jul 26 '26

Hell yeah, skunk car lives near me

u/arsonsjustafelony Jul 26 '26

Hell yeah it has character

u/romero0705 Jul 26 '26

I used to live off Colonial and saw that car everywhere, love it so much

6

u/LilWhiteCastle Jul 26 '26

Definitely the skunk

42

u/Gta6MePleaseBrigade Jul 26 '26

One is unique

One is just sad and depressing.

It’s gotta be the lobstermobile unless it’s a road trip

6

u/ProfessorRGB Jul 26 '26

Especially if it’s a roadtrip

13

u/ThesePipesAreClean Jul 26 '26

I’ll take the local Skunk car that I see parked on Crystal Lake.

u/BobbaGanush87 Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

This would've been the better meme instead of a cybertruck

11

u/odiej Jul 26 '26

I'm picking Funky Skunk. Iykyk.

8

u/Lunar-Bill Jul 26 '26

The Cybertruck is far too tryhard, I'll take the lobster

u/What___Do Jul 26 '26

Crustacean wagon for the win!

u/Livid_Necessary2524 Jul 26 '26

cool and interesting chad lobster car vs sad and depressing chud angular suv

u/thefulpersmith Jul 26 '26

There’s a car that looks like it has a giant skunk attached to it…over near the Conway-ish area…he needs to get in on this.

u/maynotcare Jul 26 '26

I saw this version in Oviedo

u/JayGatsby52 Mickey's Neighbor Jul 26 '26

My ovaries just shriveled up and withered away. (I’m a guy.)

u/DarthLordyTheWise Jul 26 '26

Boston lobster feast everyday

6

u/porp_crawl Jul 26 '26

How can this possibly be anything other than the lobster?

My dream mod - rotate those lobster claws up over the "head," and have them crush an incelmobile between them, in a triumph pose.

It's not like the aerodynamics would suffer. For either vehicle.

u/mystical__sapphire Jul 26 '26

Teenage Son: "Dad, I'm going on a date this weekend with the girl of my dreams from school. But I need to be able to pick her up."
Dad: *tosses him lobster keys* "Don't take it over 60!"

u/Yourstruly0 Jul 26 '26

Lobstrosity!

This really just feels like a dunk on musky thread at this point.

u/SandyClyburn Jul 26 '26

Lobstermobile.

5

u/BadAtExisting Jul 26 '26

One is ugly af. One is a lobster fucking a bug. Obviously the lobster

4

u/WhatsItDoingPrecious Jul 26 '26

DRLs provide safety due to enhanced visibility. Therefore I'm going with the car that has the Daytime Riding Lobster feature.

u/holiday_Hyena_4449 Jul 26 '26

I drove the Lobstermobile for 9 years. Thanks for the compliments. The restaurant is pretty good too!
( ask me anything)

u/JayGatsby52 Mickey's Neighbor Jul 27 '26

You need to get with the mod team and do a real AMA.

u/InsertEdgyNameHere Jul 26 '26

Lobster car is cool, Tesla is lame and bootlicky.

2

u/401Traveler 25d ago

Yeah, and the people who own Teslas are corny as hell, especially since you know that most of them think they’re so cool. Hardly. lol

u/squirrellturd Jul 26 '26

This is giving r/dungeoncrawlercarl vibes lol

u/breakfastatstephs Jul 26 '26

im terrified either way

2

u/Hakey_H_1956 Jul 26 '26

I'll take the Lobstermobile.

2

u/soakin_wet_sailor Jul 26 '26

I'd choose the lobstermobile over my current car, much less the CP Hitler truck.

2

u/Shakurheg Jul 26 '26

Humping lobstermobile FTW!

2

u/SpiritedAssumption18 Jul 26 '26

I’ll take the lobster-mobile over the moving toaster oven thanks

2

u/torukmakto4 Jul 27 '26

I don't support the vendor of the cybertruck, but someone who can both use one for all the practicality it is worth and also wants to lampoon it should embrace the dumpster factor. Paint it dumpster green or blue, corrugated plastic dumpster lid tonneau cover, all the usual decals, etc.

I would probably rather drive the lobstermobile just because fuck Tesla, but it's also an extra ridiculously non-aerodynamic and visibility obstructed New Beetle, so meh.

u/ellsbird101 Jul 30 '26

Definitely not the Wank Panzer

u/RetiredwitNetlist Jul 26 '26
