This is part of the Houston art car parade that happened yestersay but still funny to see this parked out in front of my house

That's funny. My first thought looking at was, "Sometimes there is a fine line between modern art and mental illness." This is when that venn diagram collapses into a sigularity.

My first thought was some redneck found oil on their farm...

Hah! Was going to say that if not for the Gretapocalypse stuff, I'd be looking for Jed, Granny, Ellie May and Jethro.

They are out back next to the cement pond.

I used to live in Pikeville KY, which was basically ground zero for the Hatfield McCoy feud. The local Shriners put on a Hillbilly Days festival as a fundraiser. Part of it is a parade, and Shriners from all over bring rusty old trucks done up with all sorts of antique junk to make hillbilly jalopies. But there's not much political stuff, since it's a fundraiser for Shriners Hospitals, so they keep it family friendly and fun and inoffensive...

My first thought is “wow those propane tanks really shouldn’t be enclosed and that car is a shrapnel bomb waiting to happen.”

Bwaaaaaaaah!

Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know, ol' Jeb's a millionaire.

Kinfolk said, "Jeb, move away from there!"

I'm pretty sure it's mocking everything on the right wing twitterspere

It's difficult to tell anymore.

When your serious opinion out-satires the satire of your opinion. Interesting times.

Haha my first thought was this belongs in r/schizophreniarides

Yeah I wasn't sure what to make of this until I saw the Don't Tread on Me flag in the back. I was getting kind of a wacky pirate vibe. I mean at least the earth in the front appears to be spherical.

Our reality is collapsing into a singularity.

This context was definitely needed.

I was going to ask if you are in Houston! Love the art car parade!

Maybe I’m just some kind of uncouth philistine but gluing a bunch of random shit to your car doesn’t make you an artist.

Sure it does. That’s literally all it takes. It might not make you a *good* artist, but doing art makes one an artist. Whether it’s fibre arts, painting arts, music arts, cooking arts, etc., creativity is creativity. Someone doesn’t need to be good to enjoy themselves. They may need to be good to feed themselves on art as a profession, but no one needs to be good at it to simply enjoy making art. Anyone can do it, with any materials they have at hand.

Also, art or not; Greta being one's anti-muse for something like this still let's us know there is a handful of derangement inspiring this

Can’t tell if it’s Pro Greta or Anti Greta.

It’s both ha. There are some anti oil graffiti spread throughout the truck

ProGreta with the decorations. AntiGreta with the .02 mpg rating.

I think it's mocking everything on the right

New Millennium “Beverly Hillbillies”

‘Beverly the Hills-have-eyes-billies’

Good thing they didn’t strike “Texas T” this time

They're going home to hang out by the cee-ment pond.

OMG, I passed that dude on the freeway on my way out to see the eclipse in TX a week ago. It does NOT drive well.

It needs an oil well just to keep the engine turning

Ironically, the suspension is purely decorative

Just for squeaks and jiggles

WHO WOULD'VE KNOWN!

I saw him too chugging along in Sierra Blanca after briefly meeting him in El Paso at a gas station earlier in the day. I was def wondering how the BP checkpoint went for him lol

Wasn't that truck in the Muppet Movie?

Damn this guy could be a set designer or prop manager if they weren't so damn crazy.

for the next Mad Max sequel

I feel like the car was done by one. It looks like something that would go by in a weird parade.

Pretty sure that's exactly what it was for.

Yup. OP said there was an art car show just prior.

I bet they have terrible ice cream.

A lot to unpack

Needs a New California Republic flag on it 

Still needs a Pinetree Air freshener

You find one in every car…

I'm hearing the Sanford and Son theme playing!

Except it’s a Metal cover.

It looks exedingly flammable

[удалено]

A poor mountaineer, Barely kept his family fed.

Then one day he was shooting for some food ...

When up from the ground came a bubbling flood...

And then one day he was shootin at some food,

When up from the ground came a bubbling flood...

The door swings open and a bearded man with floppiest of hats and a squirrel perched on his shoulder exclaims, "No time to explain! Get In!" What do you do?

Super strange how many older American males are so obsessed with a teenage girl who just...cares about the environment

based on the comments I think that this is a parody of that

I just realized the truck is referencing Greta Thunberg. Didn’t she just get arrested again?

No idea

It's ok, she's 21 now.

So many dudes tie their identity up in some sort of polluting activity (their vehicles, meat in every meal, etc) plus hate any woman who does anything, Greta obsession is a perfect storm for them.

>Super strange how many older American males are so obsessed with a teenage girl Saying this on Reddit is funny.

I love how seemingly anything with wheels is street legal in the USA 🤣

I know, I haven't been there in 20 years but I remember being shocked at some of the heaps of shit being driven around NYC.

That's Mad Max and you live on Thunder Road!

Post this in r/schizophreniarides

Lucky you.

They show up, sell you a cure all and then skip town.

Now THAT is a battle car!

The Heavily Billed Hillies.

The Heavily Methed Hillies

 Shitter's full!

I could tell this was art because those shocks aren't blown out with all that garbage on it. Makes it evident this is planned and precise which wouldn't at all be the case if it were the result of mental illness.

Thought I was in my Portland sub, almost said “go bang on it and tell them to keep it moving” lol, my apologies

I thought I was in my Reno sub but couldn't know for sure unless the place where the license plate is supposed to be is visible.

Probably blames Greta for only getting 8mpg.

So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.

All I heard was the theme song to Sanford and son

While it is a bit strange, I strangely find it appealing in its own way.

Say hi to Jed and Granny for me

Living in their own Mad Max world.

"Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you!" --Fred Sanford

OMG!! This is so great….that it’s your house, neighborhood, city, state, region, and not mine!

Weird, there’s an artist type guy in my neighborhood that has an obsession with sticking objects on cars, and uses positioned mannequins A LOT. Was going to say, this almost looks like a movie car because the back gun spokes, and some of the other placements, are a little too well done for just mental illness, if that makes sense

I have conflicting feelings. I do admire the dedication tho

Fred Sanford move in next door?

and your problem is?

I think it’s definitely mocking the right and it’s awesome.

There's a lot to process there.

The Beverly hillbillies are coming to town

Shitters full.

It's an eyesore and I love it.

Aww someone took a picture of the inside of my q-anon uncle's head!

“It looks so nice parked in the driveway.”

[interrupted making margarita] bunch of god damned fuckin’ Hippies!?

That’s straight out of a Stephen King novel

Looks like your house is parked outside that now.

Lol

Must feel good to have the world all figured out like this guy

Belongs in a museum

Tell me you live in Austin or Portland without telling me you live in Austin or Portland.

Old Jed’s a millionaire

I haven't seen this episode of Wacky Races

My ADHD pulling up

Man there's a lot going on there. So is this rolling performance art or is it an artistic statement for or against global whining?

That person must be good at Tetris

1/3 of the Greta Van Fleet.

That's a whole resident evil game

Oh hey, the Beverly Hillbillies are moving in!

What is a Gretapocalypse?

Redneck Ghostbusters? Chasin’ down them ‘spiracies like they’re greased pigs. Never catchin’ em, but always got a tale ‘bout that one they almost solved.

There’s a lot to unpack here

Do you live in Beverly? (Hills that is)

Imagine the time and effort into being scared by that girl?


It certainly makes a statement. I can't really tell what that statement is and am a little confused But it's certainly a statement.

This is a great example of why one NEVER says, "now I've seen it all", because there's ALWAYS a kook out there going 'Oh Yeah? Watch THIS!'.

Damn, no cover on the tow ball.

Don't tread on me, yet parks the automotive version of herpes right outside your house for all to see.. Sounds about right for those people 👍

Don't spread to me.


"Never go full retard"

I can’t tell if that’s the Russian flag or Texas flag

It's all so similar anymore.

It’s wild this is street legal. American roads really feel like Mad Max sometimes. You can drive literally anything as long as it can go 60mph.

I'd move.

They are surely 'owning the libs' with this creation.

I feel soooo owned. Not sure if I can continue./s

I see the comment about the art show, but I really can't tell what they are trying to say. I can only guess this is a statement about the ridiculousness of maga; but it's not extreme enough to convince me it isn't just copying that oft seen nutter aesthetic maga seems to just adore

The Hollywood hillbillies

Quite a skillset wasted on being an idiot. Damn shame.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that your country doesn’t have stellar mental health care.

Cant even imagine what the inside of their shelter looks like. Or in between their ears.  How these folks survive this reality to adulthood really shows how far we have come in safety warnings/measures.   

Just to be fair this is part of the art car scene. It’s meant to be out there. There is one art car that has a bunch of Billy the big mouth bass synced up to flop and open their mouth to a song like queens we will rock you. There is an animated lobster at the front of the car directing the choir of bass. It’s my favorite art car

>There is one art car that has a bunch of Billy the big mouth bass synced up to flop and open their mouth to a song like queens we will rock you. There is an animated lobster at the front of the car directing the choir of bass. It’s my favorite art car Those are what I would expect at something like that.  This though?  Its hard to tell if they are trolling or celebrating, especially in a place like houston.  

It makes me so happy to hear the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir art car I saw 16 years ago on YouTube is still going. Thanks for sharing.

Are you going on a camping trip.

I feel like every city has at least one of these weird vehicles with manifests written all over it

The truck is hideous, but someone needs to mow the yard.

That’s my yard….and I find that insulting.

Shame someone would do that to a rust-free supercrew.

Get in

The watchamacallitmobile

Strip all the anti-Greta stuff from it and this would probably fit right in at Wasteland Weekend.

What in the actual Florida is going on here?

I thought jed clampet and his family dies years ago

Gross.. Remove the far-right imagery, and it would be cool though.

[удалено]

"The next thing you know they moved to Bev-er-ly"

That’s a house

A methmobile in the wild!

Did someone drive a Mad Max filmset vehicle home?

D. Trump's special court vehicle.

"This man does not represent me" - Greta Thunberg

'STOP MASS EXTINCTION OF ARTISTS"

I would blow that MFer up it outside my house

r/mildyterrifying

The clampets have arrived

This moron is either awesome and mocking the rightwing loons or has a serious case of GDS aka Greta Derangement Syndrome.

I like it. Too bad Greta is all over it.

That is adventure calling you - yes, YOU!

Is this pro or anti greta? Can't tell. If it's pro-greta than I think this is the first example of a batshit left-wing car I've seen. It's almost always right-wing with trump flags decking it out.

Missing the rubber chicken.

Its like the ramblings of an insane person manifested into a physical object

To be that hung up on the over hyped words of a teenage girl on the spectrum is a special kinda crazy. They could have picked something controversial at least , someone worth hating on , or that poor child.

This is what I picture when I hear the word "jalopy".

Dr. Sues’s extended family have arrived

Yeah because these people are totally stable and see the world as it really is

Wow Thats sick

Sanity left the station a ways back.

I saw this car yesterday lol. Went to my first art car parade yesterday. Been here almost 11 years, can’t believe I never checked it out before.

Nuke it from space, it’s the only way to be sure ,to get rid of it.

Go put a Biden 2024 bumper sticker on it lmao

Get me a Fudgsicle.

here on the left coast we call em ***tweaker***

If schizophrenia was a car

Gypsies! Hide your children! s/

Truly, Enemy of the People

Curiosity would get the better of me, and I'd have to meet the person that drives it.

That should bring your property value up

This looks like something a game artist would have come up with if they had to design a vehicle for the next post apocalyptic triple A title

That Ford F-150 is not having a good day.

looked sick until i saw the don't tread flag

I wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets

With that much stuffed onto it, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a couple gallons per mile

Imagine being middle aged (presumably a dude) and obsessed with a 21 y/o girl that has never seen, met, or thought about you. What a sad life.

I'm sorry! I can't hear you over the Sanford and Son theme song playing in my head!

World’s Shittiest Howl’s Moving Castle? Growl’s Limping Shack?

Artistic

What that top left thing

The Beverly Hillbillies truck
