Doesn’t seem all that different from a tractor trailer tire exploding on the highway.

To quote the deputy: “I’ve seen plenty of women with two jugs, but a guy with one jug just freaked me the hell out.”

If you’re going to make a Mite-based offroader that slot under the Eagle, then it should be named the AMC Eaglet.

I suppose they’ll call this the... hmmm.... let’s see, we had the Smart FourTwo and the Smart ForFour, I guess with this being an SUV, they’ll call it the Smart Fordirt? ForTheWoods? ForOffRoad? No, no, not according to those drawings. This will be the Smart ForFakingIt.

Sketches look like a slightly lengthened Mini to me.

Actually, the dreamer is wrong. Even in the dictionary, this “alternate spelling” doesn’t exist as an option. I think he’s just confused with Thin Lizzy.

There wouldn’t have been a problem if they called it a “parking fee”. Since that is what it is - a fee for using a supercharger spot for general parking.

Biggest point: Activision didn’t even need to get as far as the abandoned IP arguments - the dude looks nothing like the game character at this point. Seriously, how far did he think he was going to get when Marvel/Walt Disney aren’t suing over that Black Widow lookalike that’s also in the video game art example....

Common in the rest of the US, actually. Here in NJ, they are an annual feature of the idiocy that was “let’s lay asphalt over concrete!” where the heat-formed ridges happen over every concrete seam.

Next, shall we talk about the equivalent of a mall cop having access to state vehicular registration databases? Since that is the only way I can figure the know-nothing idiot managed to get the year and model right if he had no clue Tesla was a domestic vehicle. Reminds me of when I got a ticket for parking in a…

Right and wrong. They can be pumped out while on the surface, but not while underwater.

Shame I’m limited to awarding you just a single star. You deserve all of them burning in the Kinja forum skies.

You’ve never heard Yeet before? It is the name of a gun made by Hi-Point, the Yeet Cannon.

LOL. Dude bit off way more than he could chew. He spent THREE YEARS preparing and then made it FIFTY-FOUR miles is SIX days before throwing in the towel. So he managed to travel NINE MILES PER DAY. I guess the three years of preparation included exactly zero days of physical training.

You may have made a control arm bushing from garden hose over the weekend, but.... exactly how big is your intention to drive the recipient vehicle fast enough to launch it 90 feet through the air and flip it at least once before sticking the landing? Then again, if I remember the tale right, that was for somone…

Don’t forget the energy to dispose of the batteries as well. The current king of the hill, Lithium, is a finite resource as well. Nobody is really even looking at the possibility to recycle wholesale because of the expense involved.

That is a bit of a fallacy. You can have a single ICE last your entire lifetime if you give it proper maintenance. A battery pack degrades due to its very nature of being a battery and is made worse by its nature of being rechargeable.

Not so much that Kinja is broken as it is they allow advertisers to introduce code that breaks things. It has been a problem for nearly 30 years now and in the end, greed wins out.

It wasn’t on the board at NASA because NASA gave it a spin in the 90's with the X-33. The general concept of reusable spacecraft has been on and off the NASA budget radars since the 1960's.

How exactly does an article that can be summed up as “A white guy owns a Ford Aerostar minivan with a manual transmission” celebrate Juneteenth?
