Chad Truckerson thought driving an ultra-modern, wildly angular Tesla Cybertruck would make him irresistible to the ladies. But the brutalist automotive origami has proven a romantic dead end in the coastal burg of Portland, Maine.
"I figured chicks would dig the edgy design," laments Truckerson, a locally renowned pickupologist. "But so far, it's been a total vaj-repellent."
Instead of wooing admirers, the $60,000 steel trapezoid on wheels has made Truckerson a neighborhood laughingstock. Confused passersby stop and gawk, with some mistaking it for an improvised elephant-proof traffic barrier. One elderly resident has already launched a petition demanding the "zany avant-garde junk sculpture" be removed from public streets before causing nautical mishaps.
"I thought I was the illest, rocking futuristic Susan Kare-meets-Walter Gropius realness," sighs the crestfallen Truckerson. "But the hot mamacitas are ghost, and I'm starting to think this angular bro-mobile was a totally sick nasty bro-tational fail."
According to reports, Portland authorities have received dozens of complaints about the jarringly angular vehicle, which some residents compare to an Cubist fever dream or a discarded CGI model from an early 2000s video game. The city council is exploring an ordinance to ban "assaults" on civic beauty standards.

Occasionally he tootles the Cybertruck's ludicrous yeee--aaahhhh-honk to startle passersby and feel alive. "I've angulated too far down this road," he pines. "But at least I know I can still crease panties..."
