Kinja'd!!!

My obsession with this car is well documented, but I need an opinion on my plates. Just now, for the umpteenth time, some guy looked at it and said, “81 Chrysler!”

Forget for a minute the Toyota badge staring this fucking moron in the face, or the SUNCHASER badge on the side of the car.

Kinja'd!!!

When you see CHSR, do you read “Chrysler”?

Kinja'd!!!

On a car like this? Do you even know the shit that fucking Chrysler was making in 1981?

Kinja'd!!!

Did I do my plates wrong?

No, without an R or a Y, I’d never get Chrysler from that. Plus I can read the badges. :)

Did he look like someone that might mistake a debadged Malibu for an $80k Audi? Sadly, I’ve been told there are real people not actors that might make that mistake.

To be Chrysler it would at least need an L.

Lies. I won’t believe it. Yes, I did get into an argument on facebook with someone who thinks the earth is flat. Yes, there are some very, very, very stupid megadumb people out here, but no. I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR SHITTY MARKETING GM, THERE AIN’T NOBODY OUT THERE CONFUSING YOUR LUKEWARM WORSE ACCORD FOR A FUKKIN AUDI!

I think Chrysler when I see it. I know it’s a Sunchaser, but yeah, my head interprets those letters as Chrysler at first glance

(edit) although in fairness, I’d never heard of a Toyota Sunchaser before seeing yours so...

Oh my god, what. They made that in the 80s? There are no correct lines anywhere on that car. It’s worse than a GTA ripoff of a real car. You can’t be serious with that, 80s era Chrysler. I mean...a whole group of people have to approve a car design before committing millions of dollars and years of time to production, right? A committee saw that line going from the roof to the bumper and that shrunken angular hoagie trunk and said, ‘yep, we’re gonna make that!’??? Like...How? Look at it. LOOK. AT. IT.

Chrysler was just like one guy in the 80s, right? Just one guy making everything with no feedback from anyone on anything? That’s the only explanation for this...

Nay they are dumb. CH in front to me says chaser. But there are some pretty stupid people out there.

No. Chrysler in four letters would be, ‘CSLR’.

Sunchaser is obviously ‘CHSR’ as in CH-SuR, CHASER.

I think it’s understandable from a volume standpoint. There are infinite Chryslers in existence, and you’ve probably known about them for as long as you’ve known about cars. Meanwhile, I wasn’t aware of a sunchaser until I was 30, and even then it’s just a specialty celica, not really a completely different model. It’s not that it looks like a Chrysler (it doesn’t), it’s just that we have a much stronger association with chsr and Chrysler.

you did it correct, whoever the guy saying Chrysler was is clearly a moron and not a car guy

It just shows that so many people have no idea about cars. Period. Even if I didn’t recognize your car, I sure as hell knew it’s not a Chrysler. Just leave your plate as it is. Those who get it will get it, and those are probably the people you want to talk to anyway.

Also, I forgot how hideous that 81 Chrysler was. As for 80s luxury styling, remember this beauty?

I don’t get “Chrysler” from “CHSR.” I get Chaser. That guy is/was weird.
