    I just finished watching super size me. It was awesome. I wonder what a sweet car McDonalds and Toyota could come up with. #cardesign

    "They" (all look the same) is unclear in this context.

    There are three orange people and one yellow person here. Your mileage may vary, but this could just as easily be a cartoon on ethnic tolerance or something. #cardesign

    @Amalgamated Stainless Headers, est.1978: i watched the first two on there, and actually that IS what they're referring to, not Toyota's bland vehicle design. I don't know what they're trying to achieve with this cartoon series thing, but I feel disturbed on a very deep, bordering on subconscious, level. #cardesign

    @Amalgamated Stainless Headers, est.1978: Maybe the yellow guy is a member of Mara Salvatrucha (note the tear-shaped prison tattoo) and is trying to conduct a hit on one of these three guys, but he wants to be sure he gets the job done right.

    He probably just kills all of them to be on the safe side. #cardesign

    I believe it. I've seen this kind of thing in real estate...a guy posted that he was going to default on his home loan in the hopes that he could get a better deal. And at CarMax, we'd every so often see folks come in who were massively upside down on their current car and be trying to get financed on something new to replace it. I was always impressed that CarMax was willing to tell people like that "no" rather than take advantage of them. #bmw

    I live in Texas, so it's not the same guy, but just last night I was getting some fast food and the guy in the windows was chatting me up about my car and was talking about his e46 M3.

    It made me question my whole career choice - here I went to college and stuff, and the 20-something guy handing me fried chicken through a car window is rolling in an M3.

    I'm sure that fast food guy will NEVER see the title for his car, so I feel a little better. #bmw

    @jodark: I didn't see an M3 in the lot, but I didn't really look for one either. I certainly don't discount the possibility that it was complete and utter bullshit.

    However, I have also seen ruined (giant rims, etc) M3s in other places similar to where Our Hero might be found, so one never knows. #bmw

    The dude is the master troll.

    Note that he's subtle, and yet eminently sophisticated in his presentation.

    His grammar is not reproachable, merely a little lacking. His spelling is not abhorrent, but rather roughly average for contemporary internet users. His punctuation is good, though not perfect. His lack of organization is noticeable, but far from the bottom of the internet barrel.

    Finally, his tone is absolutely bulletproof. It's obvious that the subject matter here is by nature absurd. And yet, his tone never wavers, not even for a single moment. He is completely foolproof in his presentation.

    His only subtle hint that he is trolling comes in the beginning of the second post, in which he indicates he was "up in the sky, if you know what I mean." An obvious cue, but in context, actually mostly believable.

    But no...there's almost enough there to make us suspend disbelief and think that this guy might actually be serious. Almost. But almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and the girl next door; and this guy knows it. He knew exactly where to draw the line, and did it masterfully.

    Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing here is pure essence of greatness. This is the best internet troll I have ever seen.

    I salute you, Mr. biigzbeemer. Joseph Heller would be proud. #bmw

    @Ray Wert: Well, in for a penny, in for a pound, I guess. If he's going to put that much effort into being a troll, he may as well go all the way and the best damn troll in the history of ever.

    Additionally, internet users can, on occasion, be a creepy, scary bunch. It would not surprise me if he truly was a conniving, long-con troll. #bmw
