It’s been my experience that most pickup truck buyers don’t use a pickup truck for its intended use.

Everything about this thing shouts “My name is Elon Musk, and I have no idea what a pickup truck is for or what pickup truck buyers want!”

I thought they were cheesy as hell, yet still enjoyed them because I know something about the Mod v/s Rocker culture they are referencing.

Bill Murray is getting a little old to reprise his part, but I bet he’s still game.

Dr. Bong wants his mallet back.

Robert Heinlein has had exactly one adaptation of his work (Predestination) that didn’t suck. Ursula K. LeGuin has had a similar amount of adaptations that didn’t suck. (The Lathe of Heaven) And Michael Moorcock’s novel The Final Programme was dubiously made into a movie in the 70's. That said, bringing a character…

Mark Hamill is generally up for just about anything, so I can totally see it.  Dude just seems to enjoy being Mark Hamill more than most people enjoy being themselves.

Kid I used to work with back in the late 80's had a 350 SBC slotted into a Chevy Vega. It was considerably modified, with dual Carter AFBs (Might have been Edelbrocks) tunnel ram, headers, cam, and what-not. No idea what kind of horsepower it was putting to the ground, but he routed it through a 4 speed manual.

I got pulled over by a Sheriff’s Deputy six or eight years ago for speeding who was driving a Dodge Magnum. We got to bullshitting about cars on the side of the road, and he said they all got to drive the competing options for new patrol cars before the county purchased them. This was after Ford stopped making the…

I’m coming up on 4 years (next summer) on my old Motorolla G5 plus that I bought when they first came out. It still works and is on its original battery, but it’s been slowing down lately which I attribute to the fact that it’s stuck on Android 8.1. It’s possible to upgrade the OS to Android 11, but I’m not sure if I…

If I had $3.5 million at all, I’d be spending about $1 million on building a house on some acreage* nobody I know knows about and plowing $2.5 million into a mutual fund, the interest of which would pay what small expenses I would have after that. Then I’d retire, and pretend nobody named “Logan Paul” exists.

Which ironically is how the feds eventually got Al Capone.

Yeah, I had an employer screw me out of my final paycheck which would have been about $1100.  I honestly don’t believe he wanted to, not because he was a good guy (he was an idiot who’s decisions drove his business into bankruptcy) but because the last few weeks I worked there he was sending actual product to the…

Nobody is doing the “skateboard” concept of electric vehicles yet. Yet. A number of companies have floated the idea, but to date they’re all very individual cars with very different platforms.

Well yeah, but I was a kid of 10 or 11 years old, not an employee.

I am neither surprised, nor any less ignorant than I was before.

You’re welcome.  He was a great man.  We’ll get into his failings some other day.  Like the time he set himself on fire with a can of gasoline.  He was the local Volunteer Fire Chief at the time!

That bad, eh?
