      This reminds me - I saw spinner wheels in public for the first time in probably 15+ years yesterday. I was genuinely shocked to see them. Man I hope they do not make a comeback.

          Friend of mine got spinners on his cheap ass Toyota a couple years back because they all got ditched after the craze ended

          If you know where to look you can get good ones for shockingly cheap, and putting them on old beaters or a Prius is fucking hilarious

          At least spinners are good at what they do! The Cybertruck isn’t even a good truck.

          I had spinner hubcaps on my clapped out 85 Monte Carlo in 2004, it was awesome.

        Dude probably grew up around them, and now he’s all grown up and can finally afford them. Live and let live. At least it’s not a Hummer or a cyber truck

      Spinners are purely an aesthetic choice though. This truck literally doesn’t even perform its function as a truck.

      Some people work hard to tell everyone else that they are contemptible. It is now the job of society to make an artificial island in the middle of the Pacific so that they can live out the rest of their lives in a safe place, amongst their own kind.

      I was watching the taxi thing, and they didn’t know on which sentence to cheer. Some would cheer when others cheered for no reason, but always sporadically between small groups.

      It’s a cult and they reinforce their worth in their echo chamber (cyber chamber? No echo chambers work).

      I like spinners and dont think they make someone an idiot. I probably won’t ever buy them myself but they are at least fun. I haven’t seen a set in ages though.
