We’ve got our very own Tony Stark on our shores, y’all. But not in the snarky, tech whiz, billionaire way. This person’s got more of a DIY vibe, if you get our drift. Recall a scene from Iron Man 2, which showed the slick-talking superhero cruising along the road with his extremely large scale model sticking out of his extremely sleek Audi R8 Spyder.
So this Marvel fan must’ve watched the scene and thought, “superheroes, they’re just like us.”
Spotted on the roads of Singapore — at the traffic junction of Eu Tong Sen St, to be exact — the Mercedes-Benz also had a humongous item jutting out of its convertible top. Because who needs a delivery van when you’ve got a car with a retractable roof? But it was nowhere near the polished way Robert Downey Jr. did it, him being an actor in a massive movie franchise and all. This driver had what looked like a tall (or long) cabinet haphazardly placed in the vehicle, in a gravity-defying position.
The photo surfaced on social media earlier today (July 2) and almost immediately attracted attention from netizens for all the wrong reasons, namely because it’s not the smartest move to transport a huge piece of furniture so carelessly in a convertible. Many worried for the safety of the driver and other vehicles around the car.
Some mocked the driver for being a cheapskate and thought he should fork out the money to get his furniture delivered. Y’know, by actual professionals with a van.
“Rich enough to drive an open top…but no money to pay for delivery,” one said.
Meanwhile, others felt the driver should be allowed to do whatever they wanted with their own vehicle.
And then there were the trolls, who were just there for the jokes.
