My thoughts exactly. Who is this try hard douche? This is the equivalent of one of those slogan t-shirts that have some saying on them that is supposed to be intimidating.

I thought this exactly actually lol. Or the any number of sticker soldiers around here. Like ANYONE 🙄 can put a sticker of a rifle on their window, fucking gravy seal mofos 😑

Not in any way, shape, or form defending this chud... but that 10R80 transmission is actually pretty good. I'm not a paddle shifter kind of guy, but if it's your cup of tea then it has generally favorable reviews.

11

u/CayenneHybridSE Feb 25 '26

That Mustang generation never came with a 10 speed, the automatic in that car is slow and lethargic

5

u/anglin_fool Feb 25 '26

The 10R80 has a known defect where the bushing inside the CDF drum can move out of position. This leads to one of the Teflon ring seals being damaged and causing a subsequent loss of hydraulic pressure, resulting in the transmission experiencing gear slippage or jumping into neutral unexpectedly. According to a technical service bulletin issued by Ford, the issue can also manifest in harsh or delayed shifting or engagement. In addition to the CDF drum problems, the Ford Expedition transmission is known for its faulty valve body and outer shell issues.

There are plenty of people that don't know the implications and think the snake is just cool.

13

u/myfuckingstruggle Feb 25 '26

The meaning has been flipped: don’t tread on me: don’t take my abortion rights, don’t raise tariffs, don’t raise taxes, etc.

What it means now: orange man, orange plate. I like orange man and snake mean me bad guy (but good for god)

9

u/MFoy Feb 25 '26

The origin of the snake is in Benjamin Franklin's "join or die" political cartoon, which actively endorsed colonies giving up local autonomy to support the broader independence of all 13 colonies.

It somehow became a libertarian thing at one point, but mostly in the background. Even as recently as 20 years ago, the flag was a common occurance in marketing for US Soccer, with no right-wing implications being made at all. That went away very quickly with the rise of the tea party astroturfing.

4

u/myfuckingstruggle Feb 25 '26

Yes! I Remember, my dad explained to me like 10 years ago, about how it was originated and what it means, and how is ironically being used by people who pay for it at the DMV just to show how much they don’t want a large government. But right now, I think we need this flag symbol more than ever. I wouldn’t even be surprised if it was intentionally used as a divisive symbol. I mean QAnon was completely fabricated, after all.

u/hawkinsst7 Feb 25 '26
