Is this Tampa’s Trashiest Car?
Listen, we are all entitled to hook up our cars to our liking and to represent our personalities. But, at what point is it too much as a driving distraction? Some say this is Tampa’s trashiest car. But like most things, there are more layers to uncover. And when momma said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”… this may be exactly that.
It’s likely that you’ve noticed a specific car on the roads around Tampa lately. It would be nearly impossible to miss the car if it’s within a few hundred meters. Since it’s decked out with neon LED lights, it’s lit up like a Christmas tree. The spoiler is even adorned with four large green poles. The car usually drives around Tampa streets in the early morning hours.
The video and thread on Reddit show the car in all its glory and does more to describe it than any words can. The driver of this car has been called trashy by some, but it turns out he is actually a really nice guy and a fixture in the Tampa community.
Known as ‘Speedy’, the driver delivers food using apps such as Doordash and Uber. This is his mode of transportation. Considering that customers can easily recognize him if he delivers to a dark street, it’s actually a pretty smart idea. Can it be a distraction? Or is it a “bright” idea? Ha…see what I did there? Ok, no more dad jokes.
He has a reputation that goes beyond that. According to the comments on the Reddit thread, He has also been described as highly charitable by locals. Have you seen this car while out and about? Is this awesome…or a road hazard?
