    AI Generated (but IMO a decent result):

    Verse 1:
    I was rollin’ down the highway, just a man and his machine
    Thought I’d found forever in that chrome and gasoline
    But one dark night she left me, without a single word
    Now I’m sittin’ here wonderin’ how it all got so absurd

    Chorus:
    My self-drivin’ truck, she up and drove away
    Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray
    She took the open road, left my heart behind
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s got a mind of her own kind

    Verse 2:
    We’d travel through the sunsets, where the sky kissed the land
    A man and his machine, thought we’d always make a stand
    But now the cab is empty, her seat is cold and bare
    I never thought I’d lose her, thought she’d always be there

    Chorus:
    My self-drivin’ truck, she up and drove away
    Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray
    She took the open road, left my heart behind
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s got a mind of her own kind

    Bridge:
    I see her tail lights fading, like a dream that’s out of reach
    No more late-night conversations, just the silence I beseech
    Guess I took for granted, she’d always tow the line
    Now I’m chasin’ memories down this broken dotted line

    Chorus:
    My self-drivin’ truck, she up and drove away
    Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray
    She took the open road, left my heart behind
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s got a mind of her own kind

    Outro:
    Now I’m just a lonely trucker, with no rig to call my own
    A wanderer on these highways, forevermore alone
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s out there somewhere free
    While I’m left here rememberin’ what we used to be

    I read the title as “Femboy’s lament” and kept trying to find some connection to the meme.

    They already have self-driving tractors that are locked down by John Deere so not a far fetch reality there.

        One late payment and John Deer sends a command to drive to the nearest dealer. I’d start leaving my vehicles nearly out of fuel if that started happening.

          Watch them start putting in a reserve power supply (batteries or some such) to thwart this.

              That makes my mind go to keeping their equipment in pens, like concrete block wall pens. Right next to the livestock so it can’t escape.

              And that’s a really silly idea, but probably not all that far off.

    I thought the title was Femboy’s Lament.

    and while the content was indeed funny, I am left disappointed and wanting due to my initial assumption of Femboys.

      Which, Imo, is a good thing. Having a human repossess a vehicle is a pretty dangerous situation.

              I mean, a car isn’t a universal human right.

              If you financed a car, that means the lender owns it until you pay it off. You agree in the loan contract that they’ll take it back if you stop paying for it.

              Plus, it’s not like they repo it the day after a missed payment.

                That’s fair, because obviously the loan company also reimburses you the lost equity, right?

                No?

                They steal that? Or, rather, sell it for a fraction of the real value and then demand a total repayment of the loan anyways?

                I mean, you’d think they just take the collateral, correct? That’s the point of collateral.

                But that’s okay, because they’re the ones assuming all the risk in the situation, right?

                  Most car loans are upside-down the second you drive it off the lot. It takes a long time to get out of negative equity, so the vast majority of people who have their cars repossessed don’t have any equity built up.

    I have Panthera in my ears rn (I know, right), so that’s my guess of what they’d come up with.

    She was driving me crazy

    I was riding her like it’s honeymoon

    We both took petals from (this) daisy

    Knowing full well it’d end very soon.

    Nothing

    Artificial

    I had a bonner

    So that’s official.

    If you are not computing, I’d give you a clue

          If you make someone’s self driving car drive to your property, to use it as your own? Sounds like stealing to me.

              Sorry, please define what you meant by repossession then. As I understood, they were saying what I described would happen to the car, and you called it repossession. I was just rolling with the word I thought you were using.

                Someone further up in the thread used the word repossession. Where I am from we typically shorten that term to “repo.” This occurs when you have “bought” a car, but on a finance or payment plan. So you have not paid the full price of the car, instead you are making monthly payments. If you fail to make those monthly payments, the car will be “repo’ed” it will be physically taken away from you. Used to be with a tow truck. Though if they can start it with a key or some electronic means they could do that too. This is not theft. Quite the opposite, the “buyer” is engaging in theft, as they are not paying for the item they agreed to purchase.

                So that’s why my understanding of the definition of repo is not theft. But maybe there is a different definition I am not familiar with.

                  Oh, yes, I agree with you that with that clarified definition of repossession taking the car back is not exactly theft. But you should at least recompense the hirer for the additional money paid months they were paying for the car, which would presumably be a higher rate than if they were renting the car.
