I’ll go the other way.  Penny’s car in the Big Bang Theory.  No way in L.A. is a girl with cans like that not gonna find a sugar daddy to pay her way out of that crap can.

Also, we need a serious conversation about the stability and centre-of-gravity of Captain Caveman’s van.

It was part of the plot of the show. That car was confiscated by the Miami P.D. from one of the drug lords they busted.

The amount of slobbering over Musk is truly astonishing. There would be no electric cars or rockets if Musk played World of Warcraft? Jesus Christ.

This is China, safety standards are lets say different and this vehicle is perfect for high density urban areas and even older narrow crowded towns of China.  It is a niche car that fits their lifestyle perfectly.  It is probably better made than you think.

something about battery cost was my first guess, but then I thought that it was probably developing the motors and controllers.  They are modified and aren’t standard production run bits.  

They either didn’t get many bites or it would have cost too much to do one way or another.  

Why GM seems to be a follower and not a leader here in the U.S. is something more of a puzzle.

Sounds like something on the menu on Naked and Afraid

Also, let’s continue to not look at the DRC and the horrors associated with it too, for most batteries and really all electronics.

But we all agree that the dude definitely wanted to have sex with that octopus, right? 

Exactly. It saved the millions of Imperial lives that would have been lost in a ground invasion.

The rebels allowed an entire First Order to build a weapon powerful enough to take out their entire military in seconds. If that’s not incompetence, what is? Hell, its VERY well known that no one at any of the non-core worlds gives a shit whos in charge, everyone sucks. At least the empire gave some sense of security…

I have to say, and I haven’t thought of this before, but the Trident inside the Chrysler Star is a pretty slick logo. In fact, it might be the best thing of the whole car.

This is hilarious. Lost it at Deathstar was an inside job.

I like it... but then again, my mentor once referred to Avatar as, “The story of a heroic project manager facing setbacks by blue hippies.”

The Empire was unequivocally the force of good in the galaxy. They brought structure, stability, open trade and services. Sure, Palpatine was a shitbag, but the bureaucracy under him seemed way more interested in galactic stability and administration than anything particularly evil.

I saw a UPS truck in my neighborhood at 9:00 PM last week, and that’s not that uncommon.

They never showed it, but Scrooge McDuck definitely masturbated in that vault. There’s no way that he didn’t.
