This is gonna be a weird share. In highschool, we had a class where we had to identify hurtful stereotypes pushed by advertisers and we used this ad. Part of the activity was to modify the ad in a way to "fix" it. Since we had no photoshop skills, we added mustaches to the women and changed some text like removing "babe-magnet" and erased "WO" so it's just "MEN". It was pretty dumb but we thought it was pretty funny.

Well, five times zero women checks out.

I really wish I could buy something like that in the US instead of cars with the engine bay taking up a third of its length.

Don’t talk shit on the Miata

Sold as the Bedford Rascal in the UK, a classic compact van of the early 90's :)

Not the same, but similar - I have a Bedford Bambi campervan, it's ludicrous and slow but all my VW owning friends hang out in the Bambi as it has so much space.

I really would like to be able to buy a car like that. Looks fun and practical

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

True. These vans are pretty cheap as well.

I like the new VW minibus, I am also 197cm tall so most cars are too small for me, even the Hyundai I40 I own that by european standards is a big car.

So I reckong I could fit into something like the VW minibus as it's more vertical + it looks fun with the colors and it's electric

And a unicycle could pick up more women than me :')

Why does everyone forget chainsaws.

Practical, widely available and the most efficient packing solution out there.

I could easily fit two dozen people (chainsaws aren't inherently sexist btw) into that van with the use of mother nature's little buddy, the chainsaw.
