Pratt demolished the last of his goodwill alongside the Zimmerman house.

$1 billion in exchange for the future of humanity is a pitiful sum. That’s like selling your soul to the devil because you’re short a nickel for a parking meter. Absolutely insane.

There is no “long game” at Tesla anymore, just whatever insane thing pops into Muskrat’s brain while on his latest ketamine binge.  At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if his office had a secret room where he stockpiles piss jars.

BAT 7 was briefly used as a race car. There’s a lot of purpose-built racers I could list, but the BAT cars are so beyond the level of just about every other car on the planet, I had to pick it.

It’s too similar to The Search for Spock.  That’s all I can hear, in Generic Trailer Narrator Voice.

Are you my mom? Because that’s what she always says about her old Spitfire. She was an advanced driving instructor and got to drive Porsches and Ferraris all the time, but nothing beat her Triumph for fun because it was only thing you could push to the absolute limit.

GM didn’t just ignore Saab, though, they actively and consistently screwed them over. They kept giving Saab leftovers from other brands and telling them to do the most basic brand-engineering, and Saab’s engineers kept saying “this is crap, we’re gonna make it better.” The problem is that you can only polish a turd so…

I legitimately have no idea what brand this car even is.

Lutz’s comment perfectly sums up the problem: GM had no idea what Saab stood for or what to do with it, so they mismanaged it to death over years.  2008 was just the final bullet to the head of the rotting, shambling corpse.

So it’s not about a watery tart distributing swords?  Pass.

Who else is going to give you rear wheel steering?

I so wish Koenigsegg had managed to resurrect Saab as their “basic” brand.

According to Elon, Tesla doesn’t make cars, they’re a robotics and AI company. He’s going to make Grok-Cabs that spout transphobia as they drive their customers under the sides of tractor trailers.

Next week’s top headline: “Shotwell shitcanned.”

I don’t think typical Bentley buyers care either, it’s all about the exclusivity.

Muskrat thinks he’s going Full Thanos by saying “fine, I’ll do it myself” about everything, but Musk is no Thanos.

SHAKE AND BAAAAAAAAAKE.

I wasn’t sure this movie was actually related until I saw a quick flash of the truck in one of the trailers. Then again, I don’t know much about the original show.  I saw a lot of re-runs of 80s action shows as a kid, and even today most of them are still running somewhere, but I can’t remember ever seeing a single…

There are still Episode I Pepsi vending machines out in the world, and people map them out and visit them.  I think that alone speaks volumes.

I still don’t understand the ending to The Death Cure. They discover that the hero dude has super blood that could cure people completely, and after learning this they. . . just fuck off to an island somewhere. Made no sense. All they needed was some blood, it’s not like they needed to harvest his brain like they did…
