    Modern Hot Wheels are being accurate. Cars now have plastic undercarriage covers.

      *Some cars now have various undercarriage covers. But the corvette in this image doesn’t have that undercarriage.

          You’re likely losing cooling and fuel efficiency.

      Last time this image was posted I said something similar and got downvoted 🙃

      Edit: Oh wait, my comment IS there in the crosspost and there’s only 2 downvotes. I somehow remembered more…

    Many of the original G1 Transformers, GoBots an other car based toys of that era also had metal parts. Die cast toys were awesome.

    I grew up with Majorette as the gold standard. Over here Hotwheels came much later and they looked too weird.

    The metal Matchbox cars are all fun and games until your friends little brother shows up and hits you the head with them while you’re on the swing set outside and you head starts bleeding

      Hell yes, was gonna comment the same. For like a dollar that are weirdly true to life, even if it’s like a fucking '94 Honda Civic or some other tan color 80s or 90s sedan, lol.

      Potentially a hot take:
      Supra Mk4 looks terrible, especially in comparison to Mk3, which is amazing.

Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel

We’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats

Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you
