Meanwhile, in the documentary about looking for a sunken boat in an old railyard:

If this were an episode of G1 Transformers, Soundwave and the Constructicons would show up at the scrapyard to turn these rejects into terrifying Decepticon warriors. Tracks and Raoul would be sneaking around trying to stop them, while Starscream and Megatron turned Optimus Prime’s body into a robot alligator and let…

For a second there I thought you meant it was plated in some sort of gold alloy...

That is really cool. Before this, the most interesting car I ever saw in New Zealand is whatever the hell this is:

What did he spend his early mornings delivering up twisty mountain roads? (Donor organs, or perhaps tiny ceramic statuettes?)

‘Optimus’, huh? I could definitely believe Tesla build quality is inspired by the G1 Transformers cartoon...

Cybertrucks at 20 paces! (Maybe not, though — a Cybertruck would slice your own leg off before you could get it anywhere near your opponent...)

‘Plucky engineers’ is what I’d call Brian May and his dad making the Red Special guitar out of a fireplace...

If you’re willing to fix it yourself, you can grab one for a Steel.

Yeah, I’m trying to picture Immortan Joe’s Half-Life War Boys yelling ‘CANbus! CANbus! CANbus!” and grabbing wiring harnesses from a huge pile before setting off shiny and chrome on the Fury Road...
