    For a second I honestly thought those were buggy wheels.

    The prettiest cars have big rubber.

    Reverse: wait you mean to say there was a “first” gas station? They didn’t just pop up everywhere overnight, and so early adopters of ICE vehicles were limited where they could travel for fear of running out of gas? That’s wild. I wonder if people complained about the distances they could cover and were anxious at…

    How many times does a man have to be ground-breaking-ly right before you think he can figure out how to integrate one of the oldest industries? They’re literally going to be writing business textbooks off this one man’s financial engineering.

    Pssht. That’s all black magic, they sacrifice small animals and whisper spells over bubbling cauldrons and rates get whispered back from the ether.
