Can you speak to the quality of the cars? The idea of an on-demand rental car, where the renter never has to face up to another human being, does not fill me with confidence.

Legit question: Is there one place in the world where on-demand “car sharing” actually exists yet? Not taxis or the airport rental, like the automobile version of Citi-bike that everyone seems to think is happening any day now.

Torchinsky has been pitching silly ideas for new car designs for years, and nobody reads his jokes on the Today show.

...waaaiiit a minute...

Driving a 95 Thunderbird on lowered shocks, outside of Amarillo Texas right after it rained, turning the table-flat panhandle into a bog. I saw a giant mud puddle in the middle of a two-lane road, and drove half onto the shoulder to avoid it. The muddy shoulder completely swallowed my right tires and dragged the whole

The Silverado has officially reached Family Truckster levels of front end accoutrements.

Incompetent London cops on a joyride? Any word if cornettos were involved?

But being a vintage life-size Lego truck is what makes it so fabulous.

Isn’t it illegal to drive a vehicle that could be mistaken for an official vehicle, with the sirens and light bars and FIRE and all? Or is that not an issue when dealing with antique imports?

“I don’t think they’ll be in volume production until 2020.”

Hell, after all the stories of cars where a Jiffy Lube tech sawed a hole in the underbody aero panels, I don’t trust that pony to do even one trick.

Quoth Ron White:

As a veteran of the Star Wars flight sims, I’ve put a lot of thought into TIE design and certainly didn’t reread your previous article about it that you linked in this one.

Where is R2's body in that thing anyway?

If the new X-Wings are an abomination, it’s because of that swiveling underbelly laser. Why even bother using fixed-angle weaponry if you have that?

Spitballing: The U-Wing’s long spars are full of maneuvering jets, acting like the thrusters-on-pods from Torchy’s TIE redesign.

“Those guys love naming their spaceships after how they sort of resemble letters in a language that they’re not supposed to even know about, which is weird, right?”

Dude, full synthetic oil can easily last 50k miles without an issue, changing your oil more often than that is just wasting the stuff.

“...the company mortgaged off all of its production equipment, production facilities, and even real estate.”
