But wasn’t he doing the right thing by getting off the road and trying to sleep it off?

It seems like a lot of these stories involve tasing someone... that person somehow gets the taser... they feel threatened and apparently have to kill a guy.

First, I have no doubt this guy was drunk and fell asleep at the wheel. And personally, I think anyone who drinks and gets behind the wheel should be buried under the courthouse. But not executed by a random cop. 

I don’t think he was in the parking lot, he was parked in the drive-thru, likely blocking other customers.

And to all the fascists and/or bigots coming with the “What else could they have done???? He was drunk driving!!!!!”

Point One And Only: cops should not have been called because someone was sleeping it off in their car in a Wendy’s parking lot. Was he driving? Was he a danger? No. He was wasted and needed a place to hole up for a bit. Good for him.

THIS DID NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REQUIRE AN ARMED RESPONSE.

It’s not just that…

This is absolutely correct. Name another factory hybrid with a manual (clutch) transmission. Will never happen. And we scorned it. We deserve the world we live in.

Jingled when parked.   No snowballers.  I Hohoho what I got.

Check out those warp nacelles. This baby looks like she’ll do at least Warp 2.

Art car show in Oakland, back in 2005. I’m going on a 13-year-old memory of five minutes spent with the car, but I believe all the, um, body work may be one-off, fully molded fiberglass body panels.

I have seen this car up close. From what I remember, and as near as I could tell, these are actual fully-formed body panels. You may end up having to reskin the entire car.

This car feels like if you took a bunch of Yes albums and other prog-rock paraphernalia...

Ran when porked!

Some reason am getting a Heavy Metal vibe off that car.....

...the colossal and strangely proportioned naked (except for boots), face-down woman...

Miyazaki says it as though Miyazaki is a great man, and Weinstein is some worthless, flabby, sack of crap, and Miyazaki does not negotiate with worthless, flabby, sacks of crap.

I doubt it was a real one. Probably a replica. Maybe even a blunt one, enforcing the idea that it cannot cut anything.

Great to know people stood up to him when he thought he was invincible. The way Miyazaki spoke about him just sounds like he seethes with distain for him. 

Interesting. It is one of those things like the Wienermobile or the GM Motorama buses that a few people probably vividly remember but which might've completely slipped away. The right buyer might pay big for one of those. Though I live in the south, I didn't remember them, and the article reveals that they probably…
