Jacques Tati’s “Trafic” is a great parody of the culture in the 60s-70s, as most of his movies are. Definitely worth a watch.

I assume when they say “rich” they mean “wealthy,” as in having assets in many areas, properties, businesses, stocks and such, not just a big pile of money. Anyone can be rich; “hey buddy. here’s a check for $1million. Now you’re rich.” Wealth takes actual effort. Many will be rich, few will be wealthy.

The “Fiat” in Fiat X1/9 Bertone scared people away, with good reason. The Bertone part was the intriguing part. Seriously, if you ever find one of these in half-decent shape, buy it. It’s the closest to a Ferrari most of us will ever come, and you can actually park it places and not worry.

She seems rational.

Meh, could be worse...

I remember the Speed 12 from the early days of Gran Turismo, and even then it was an unwieldy beast.

It would be easier and more rewarding to shoehorn a bike engine into that Fiat 500 than a K-series. Something like a Hyabusa power plant would give major gains with less space needed.

What advantages does this motorcar have over, say, a train? Which I could also afford.

This is similar to the riddle in “Labyrinth.”

Crap, now I want a Bacon Double Whopper...

Suddenly every tech company is owned by Scrooge McDuck.

I can only watch YouTube on my desktop now. Every other app, AppleTV or Chrome or phone, is just absolutely unwatchable with the endless ads, some of which you can’t even bypass. When the content is only 30 seconds long, but the ads to watch it are 2 minutes long each, the algorithm is broken.

It’s not Gremlins without Phoebe Cates, sorry.

Chaos = ratings. News programs love chaos.

I would imagine there is a more modern, eco-friendly and cheaper way to do what catalytic converters do than have to run exhaust thru a wire mesh made of precious metals. It’s bit like washing your dishes with diamonds. The fact that these expensive converters just hang outside your car, like delicious grapes, waiting…

I could imagine revving that engine up to 9000 rpm, with all that rotating mass and torque velocity, could result in some kind of “Philadelphia Experiment”-type event. Yikes!

I’ve been a fan of Mighty Car Mods for a long, long time. Recently, I just can’t get myself to watch their videos anymore and I can’t figure out why?

Burn that seat.

Remember when the joke used to be [Seinfeld voice] “if the black box is the only thing to survive in a plane crash, why not make a plane out of the black box?”
