I shall not forget this, Gustave.

I am by no means an expert, but I think Gustave may be an alligator.

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're very right. How I remember it is that their names are sorta backwards. Alligators have snouts shaped like a C and crocodiles have snouts shaped like an A.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Crocodiles also have way more teeth visible when their mouths are closed, and they are a lot larger.

I miss my station wagon... I had a 99 Cutlass Ciera and it was the best car in the world right up until the transmission finally died 😭

Station wagons rock. My wife is an SUV type. I told her that her style is trash. If they ever bring back the Camry or Accord wagon, I'm so buying one.

Honda cross tours are almost wagons.

[–] ranoss@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.

That thing was choice.

I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
I wish there were more out there being made.

Now I’m driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.

Mine was a 1969 Belair. Damn I miss that thing.

Does Gustave take requests?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He provides exactly what you need, nothing more nothing less.

[–] turddle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Gustave once saved my child from the maw of destruction.

I don’t actually have any children but Gustave managed to do it anyway.

Thanks Gustave.

Send this to your local IRS office without context

Gustave, quality's the name

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Man-eating is the middle name though. I mean, he didn't choose his name. The parents were a bit short -sighted here, but frankly it's a little too ominous.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Thanks Gustav

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Gustave knows what Gustave wants

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A "wrist breaker"? That doesn't sound good, Gustave.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That would explain the way Gustave walks.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

That's something you don't see anymore, Dad's station wagon. Terminally uncool, built almost exclusively for hemorrhoid comfort, rattles a bit, luggage rack shows significant signs of wear. The socks and sandals of the automobile industry.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I rode in the back of one of these with 5 other kids on a cross-country trip once. It was glorious.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hold up. Since when were station wagons considered uncool? My top favourite cars, among those I could realistically afford when I had a decent paying job, are all specifically the station wagon version.

Since Clark Griswold drove one under a log truck.

You rock your style, friend. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

QUICK, GUSTAVE DEMANDS HIS BEXT SACRIFICE

Hopefully nobody's putting that conversion kit into the Buick.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hey! Is Gustav a friend of Terry the Fat Shark?

[–] Vampiric_Luma@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Interesting, so to escape the Texan jungles I'll have to change the transmission before Gustav gets back.

I do get the option to kill Gustav when he arrives, but it'll become very hard to work on the transmission and escape with a busted wrist... I'm not sure if I'll survive tbh, I struggle to change a bulb, let alone blow a croc/gator's brains out, let alone change a transmission.
