I was reviewing my motion cam today and saw a fellow Rivian driver put something on my window while I was inside Costco. This happened almost 2 weeks ago and I remember I heard a noise as I approached my vehicle and looked around but could not find anything that resembled the sound I heard. As I was loading my groceries in the frunk, I observed something on the ground between my truck and the car parked next to me, which appeared to be an unopened matchbox/hotwheels but facing down. At the time, my curiosity was restrained by what ifs and doubts.
To the guy who did it, thank you. I know you meant to spread joy. It’s a heart warming thought and appreciate for it. Sorry it didn’t work out and missed to check what it was.

It's great that there are generous people like that.
I've never been able to find a matchbox R1T in any store and no way am I paying 10X the price for one on amazon or eBay.

And that's why I put them on the windshield, under the wipers, but clearly obvious from the driver seat!.

Keep your eyes peeled for a RIVIOT branded version, Vancouver Islanders!

I’m on Vancouver Island right now, visiting for Los Angeles. Have yet to see any Rivians though!

They're selling for a bit under $10.00 on Amazon, but in limited colors.

I picked up two Matchbox R1Ts a while back. But they were only available in green and my (full-size) truck is yellow. One of these days, I'll sit down with a teeny tiny brush and a tube of touch-up paint and will address the issue. (The paint will probably cost more than the toy.)

What part? We're spending a week here bouncing around the parks. I saw an R1S in Victoria, it was hilariously covered in bird poo. I couldn't get a good pic while driving though.

Jeep people have their ducks, I propose that we start spreading these. Much more amusing and less inane than the damn ducks.
