Revision as of 00:20, 23 October 2024
Tony's car is currently a blue Pontiac Montana van.[1] It is unknown what year the van is from, but it is no-doubt several years old. Some of Tony's rant videos from this vehicle when he is driving, and at other times, he will record videos of himself singing along to his car radio. Tony has also claimed that he is entitled to limousines that his parents once owned, but he has yet to receive these.[2] While some may question whether Tony is mentally fit to drive, he does have a valid Indiana driver's license, and at one point, he even held an Indiana CDL. However, Tony failed to renew his CDL after flunking a CDL refresher course when the Satellite Man interfered with his power steering.
Maintenance
As Tony's car is fairly old, it is liable to break down frequently. Remarkably, Tony has a decent understanding of vehicle maintenance and is able to change his car's oil, alternator, brake pads, and serpentine belt, among other things when necessary. In August of 2021, Tony encountered an issue in which his car's battery light continued to stay on despite several attempts a few attempts at changing his starter and alternator. Tony documented this is a series of videos.[3][4][5] Tony encountered further issues in January of 2023 when the van began leaking fluids. Tony posted a few videos documenting his attempts at repairing the leak, which he initially believed to be from a faulty radiator hose.[6] However, it turned out to be power steering fluid, as stated by Tony in the comment section to one of these videos.[7]
Vandalism
There have been at least two incidents in which Tony's car has been vandalized.[8][9] In both cases, a window was smashed — namely, the back window and the right rear window. It is not known whether the vandals involved were trolls or simply ordinary criminals. Tony has yet to properly repair either of the windows, and so far, he has covered the back window in plastic wrapping. He has claimed that the identity of the vandals involved have been covered up by the local police and federal government and believes they may have been tied in with the Satellite Man.[10]
Vanity Plate
Tony has purchased a vanity plate for his Pontiac Montana, which says "BALETS." This is likely a reference to his fondness for ballet and rhythmic gymnastics or a reference to his Ballet Pizza company. Interestingly, his license plate is one of the Indiana BMV's "specialty" license plates which commemorates Indiana public media and Indianapolis' NPR radio station WFYI.[11]
