My first thought was the “Smokers” from the acclaimed, cultural touchstone, Water World.

It needs another $230,000,000 for “equipment and passenger facilities [that] still need to be finished.” So, it’s sounds like it’s more akin to a floating empty storage facility.

If not the Stinger, the Genesis G70. I’m seeing the 3.3T available for around $34k-$40k. Might be able to negotiate it down a bit.

I thought that was Bill Murray at first... I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to find out he also spins. 

As opposed to most EV’s that are designed to be slippery, this one generates a shit load of downforce. That has to be one of the reasons... that and the four 295 HP electric motors at each wheel

This is a rare example of when we should bring back CP.

This only constitutes about 25% drop in range for a roughly 45% increase in power. That’s not bad at all. Compared to the BMW equivalent M3 vs 330, you have a 46% increase in power for 36-38% decrease in range.

This looks evil in the best ways. As it sits, I would definitely put this on my short list. Also, I love that logo. 

I’m not typically one to complain about the articles here, but WT actual F is this crap?

Well shit... Looks like I’m going to have to cancel my reservation. I was planning to get the Lariat Extended and expecting the rebate, making this price actually $16,000 higher. F-That.

Oh yeah, Pershing makes some sweet looking boats. Now I am going down that rabbit hole... 

Some of that interior looks like a grandma’s house... Is that a pool table on the top deck in picture 24? That’s kind of a bad idea. Even in the calmest seas that would be a difficult game to play.

This is one of the reason Jim Farley of Ford is so adamant about selling direct. If I needed a new 1/2 ton and my local dealership was jacking up the price on an F-150, but the Dodge dealer down the block wasn’t, I’d be driving a Dodge. 

Koenigsegg is getting 600 hp out of their 2-liter 3 cylinder... granted, it has free-valve tech, but I’m pretty sure they can license it. 

I hope its a turbine powered electric generator. That would be hilarious. 

The first gen Ford Probe was a great little coupe, especially in turbo guise. My parents had one when I was a little kid and man, that thing was the fastest, and coolest car in the world. Even when I was sitting in the middle between my brother and sister with our seatbelts crossed over so I was “belted in”. It’s

This is the generation of Corvettes that was new when I discovered cars and will always have a special place in my heart. I used to think the seats and dash were horrid (still do), but with Rad-Wood and CyberPunk 77 being a thing, the design is starting to grow on me in a nostalgic kind of way.

The unmentioned Buttonwillow version will have pre-applied dust, AC delete, and the inability to wind down the windows to allow point-bys. The only option will be a Miata sticker to put on your rear view mirror.

What’s the first most track worthy? The CT5? I think the smaller, lighter, and shorter wheelbase of the CT4 will make it more fun to drive on the track. Do you think the M5 is a better track car than the M3?

If I were a UPS driver, I would probably bring my own, but I think constantly connecting and disconnecting these from their coolant supply (150+ times a day) will cause a lot of issues. Especially if it springs a leak.
