To be fair, a '69 Bel Air would have dwarfed the Saab even more dramatically.

The difference being that England and all the other empire's of that era expected a return on their investment at some point in their life time. Waiting a few months for orders or supplies isn't nearly as long as waiting several decades. Most likely it would probably take longer if we introduce space travel with time…

If it takes 8 years to get a response, then sure — but what if it takes 16? Or three decades? Or a century? Or several? Especially if we have a high-tech society, all sorts of changes can pile up over such spans of time, and the Empire may be very unstable.

Definitely, but astronomical cost isn't the issue, it's the size of viable markets. They are artificially small because of (mostly) new pedestrian safety regulations. The number of people who can afford bespoke cars has never been greater. The demand exceeds the ability of these companies to serve them and the law at…

Nope, they made two and both sold. The Corvette, of all modern cars, is probably better suited to bespoke bodies than any other car. The panels pop off and the underlying chassis can be used or changed more easily for new shapes. The issues for Bertone and others are far more complex.

'Nuff said.

"Gilgamesh, a great king .... "

Seriously, I do get pretty sick and tired of the whole "if it's not an NA Miata with no options it's too heavy/complicated/will break/makes you a douchebag/makes you lazy" faction that loves to jump on anything that could make your life easier. Some of us like to occasionally just relax while we drive.

Seriously, for that money is constellations to much to ask?

These bench seats in the long wheelbase A8 are not for the kids... if you know what we mean.

Remember the Crash Dummies cartoon show?

I see more Bubblegum Crisis than Akira.

Everybody involved in this project was on so, so much coke.

I don't think this was emphasized enough:

Jim Shooter wrote a film treatment, in which KISS fights the Village People, Rodney Dangerfield plays four separate characters, and fire-clad warriors ride into battle on unicorns. At one point, Dazzler, the Avengers and Spider-Man travel forward in time to a dystopian New York, where Cher and Donna Summer are rival…

Everyone in those buildings he threw Zod through.

Would he be better as a Red Lantern?

Truer words have never been spoken! I used to like this car when it came out. That changed very quickly after trolls put on every Youtube video that wasn't a GTR, "GTR is better lol." I can't stand to even look at them now, I can respect the performance but I'd rather eat lead than own one due to their fan base!
