I know you reference it in the first line, but can you go back to crediting the fact that your readers write all your content for you now in the headline, please? Let’s be as upfront as possible about the cratering quality here.

A while back I saw a big dually behind me on the highway with mirrors fully extended (despite not towing anything), and I realized it reminded of a toddler running. You know, kind of bowlegged with their arms outstretched.

I liked that Top Gear segment where one was knowledgeable but not insightful, one was good at driving but bad at stopping, and one was cheeky but also kind of an ass.

Good one. It did the LED heckblende long before it was fashionable:

It’s also built on a platform of a US manufacturer who has so far shown that they can make a very good EV when they want to. 

for me it was the 1989 honda prelude (and of course also the NSX). They were the first cars i remember that incorporated dark red LED brake lights. they put them in the spoilers but they were brighter, redder, and turned on quicker. That type of bulb eventually became the standard

1971-78 Oldsmobile Toronado with their ancillary tail lights mounted at ‘eye level’ at the base of the rear window. These predated the government mandated CHMSL by more than a decade.

Late 60's Mercury Cougar with those sweet sequential turn signals that are now commonplace on mustangs:

I don’t think this restoration even counts as halfass. Maybe quarterass? For a quarter of the price I’d be on board. Asking $20,000 for it in this condition is Wormwood Motors level dealership bullshit. 

What in the Earl Scheib is going on here?

Well, Elon did give the first launch only a 50/50 chance of succeeding.

I wish I had this phrase when I was 10 year old:

Can we take a minute to admire how “rapidly unscheduled disassembly” is a one of the best euphemisms for “that thing broke into a million pieces lmao” of all recorded written language?

who would have guessed that “move fast and break things” would be of more consequence in a social media than in space travel

“Rapid unscheduled disassembly”

Yet not nearly as much of a failing falling fireball as Twitter.... so success?

I am sure they used the high performance aerospace grade 2x4's.

Same thought: “Huh, this jet engine-powered hovercraft used a lot more 2x4 than I expected.”

I like sensible, clean design so the Prologue so far is a winner to my eyes, especially when compared to the dimensionally similar Blazer EV that I’m not fond of.

Just recovering from the shock of seeing a new car interior with clear, individual buttons and dials for the climate control.
