Behold...SLR Guy! | « » 9:37 AM 6-13-2008 | |
|
 Jalopnik - http://jalopnik.com/395947/dou...r-guy Let's say you're out in the Italian countryside with your bestest, wealthy car collector buddy and he lets you behind the wheel of a $600,000 Mercedes McLaren SLR. Of course, being a douche, you'll find it necessary to take a shot of yourself in front of said SLR posing in your most douche-like stance after you've just wrecked it into a pile of bricks. Yes, you are that guy. Seeing as this bright young chap's "after" picture is readily photoshoppable, we believe it's time to create a legend out of this d-bag — this — "SLR Guy." Below you'll find how you can help — as well as our own crack at showing off our newly-found P-shop skills. We've provided everything you need, oh master of the imagery arts, to develop this man — who we will forever refer to as "SLR Guy" — into comedic gold. HERE you will find the original image, readily available for download. When you're done — send them to me at ben@jalopnik.com and the best choices will be provided for our readership to vote on. Go forth and be bold, our ninjas of the funny, and history will smile sweetly upon you.

How is this guy a douchebag again?Inexperienced driver gets the chance at driving a supercar, then looses control (like anyone could, and have) and then gets a picture taken of him beside what happened. Is it just because how he looks? I'd hate to be judging someone on how they are dressed. Seems like something that could happen to anyone. I just don't get it.

Lots of Debbie Downers today. If the thread title was "Guy crashes SLR" it would've been fair game I'm sure. Note to self: Any threads with "epic" potential should have vanilla, nondescript thread titles. Got it. Damn you EpiCops.

hate to break it to you, but yes, in a free society, people wear things that are sometimes representative of their opinions, personality, social status, etc, knowing and often desiring that they be judged based on their carefully selected apparel. i'm sure this guy was just as big of a douchebag before he crashed an slr

Dude. Lets say that was you. If you had just crashed a $600k car that didn't belong to you, and you weren't proud of it, would you then proceed to take a picture of yourself in front of it and post it on the internet? Too many people on here who argue just for arguements sake.

Lol hate? That's a little harsh. Call it what you want to call it, but whatever that face is, it's not the one you should make after wrecking an exotic car.

He actually looks distraught. I feel bad for him. But that's not the way of TCL. a)Young guy. b)White. c)Wearing urban fashion. d)Driving a fast exotic. e)Crashes it. f)Takes a picture. Obviously a douchebag. Carry on.
