Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Nope. In fact I intend to buy one myself. Been a truck guy my whole life, but this will be my first one since fiscal considerations are no longer an issue. Gonna load it up too, including tri or quad motor and FSD.

Love how the Cybertruck is shaking up the "beige box" pickup market.

Ahhhhh .. trucks are the few places I see non-gray vehicles.
Ahhhhh....the "beige box" remark was in reference to their general layout and style.

Those metallic wraps remind me of my Hot Wheels cars I had as a kid.
There were several super shiny ones that came out. I think it was the “redline” series.
There was a purple one with a bubble top and several other colors and shapes.
There was also some knock off HW that were the super metallic plastic, IIRC, that looked even more like that wrap.

The BOSS Mustang was the one to have when I was a kid…

I had a gold recline Mustang. It had a hood that would forever pop off. Lol



Mine was in better shape than this one. Lol
When we moved 7 years ago I sold my HW/matchbox collection. I think I got like $400 for it. Well, the guy that did the estate sale sold it for that for me, so he got a cut.

I’m just impressed you held onto your hot wheels collection that long.

[mrbigstuff]

I just may still have that mustang rgG.

Ha ha. They were in a nice little “collector’s” box that got moved many times.
My daughter said she didn’t want them, when we moved, so I decided it was time to sell them.

“I just may still have that mustang rgG.”

Nice!
I think I may have had two of them, but I am not sure.
