And honorary head of the World Scout Foundation out of Geneva. You can tell it’s much more than a photo op for him, he’s genuinely passionate about the movement.

Coming to the US in 2048 (possibly)? 

He also once randomly wandered into a Boy Scout troop’s pancake breakfast when he was in Boston to attend the Volvo Ocean Race.

Yeah, I haven’t heard any weird rumors about him, like how Jason Torchinsky flips out when people make eye contact with him, or how Doug DeMuro demands a bowl of only green M&Ms be set out for him everywhere he goes.

It does other things!!

Also the ‘40s, and the ‘30s, and sort of the ‘50s, if you can overlook the rust and quality control. Everything after those decades has been ... inconsistent. 

How would you do that, without the assistance/cooperation of the EG government?

Another fun fact - his uncle once prohibited a major power plant from using any petroleum lubricants, because he was able to will the machinery to be lubricated using only his mental powers. It seized up and caused a major blackout. Their current president is actually reasonable in comparison.

Danny McBride's resemblance to Conway Twitty is even more obvious in still shots. It's both distracting and awesome at the same time. 

Another weird mashup of modern and backward thinking, too. Futuristic power source, but in an old fashioned conventional passenger-cargo combi liner, at a time when freight was starting to move to container ships and passengers were rapidly moving to airlines.

Owned by a private collector in Sweden, I believe. 

There was some of the same optimism in Europe, too. The Italian Line designed the SS Leonardo da Vinci (the replacement for Andrea Doria) specifically for easy conversion to nuclear power, in order to future proof it against obsolescence, since they believed in 1958-1960 that nuclear powered merchant ships would be…

I mean, sure you could do that. Or you could build a much bigger reactor, stick it in a concrete dome, and use to to charge a battery powered car. Either way, I’m not the scientician here.

Vinyl siding, I believe is the term you’re looking for. With oriented strand board and house wrap behind it.

Something tells me this is going to play out something like this:

Go to an abandoned factory at night, dig a shallow trench, pour, and recover?

They captured the era so damn well. It didn’t feel like a nostalgic caricature of 1988/1989, but actually a realistic 1988/1989. It was a lot of effort for a few scenes in one episode. 

1) its a minivan - minivans are a niche item, modern cars are crossovers

That was such a wasted opportunity. The Family Truckster was a perfect commentary on 70s/early 80s American design and build quality, and not really that far fetched. That thing was just wacky for the sake of being wacky,talk about totally missing the point.

They don’t really need to, they’ve been able to accomplish what they need through broader reinterpretation of the existing language.
