What mutation would The Hose use to do all this hosing? I suspect that in a Deadpool film, it would be his, uh, knockwurst.

I assume that he means this is specifically a prequel to Villeneuve’s film series

I’d posit that anyone who doesn't know Frank Herbert created the Dune universe likely isn't the kind of person who reads books...

Poe’s Law really. And as you say, it’s not exactly a sly hint in the source material - most of the lore is from the Garth Marenghi school of subtlety when it comes to the awfulness of the Imperium.

Crowe looks like he’s been possessed by the spirit of Slavoj Žižek.

I’ll take this opportunity to post my favourite BMW ute - it might not be for sale, but it’s a bit more... complete than the one posted here:

Weight happened - with the size of the cars and the amount of surface area, a complete paint job would apparently weigh about 6kg (according to Alpine and Alfa Romeo technical directors). That equates to a bit over 0.2 seconds per lap (which is a big issue if the cars aren’t under the weight limit), and it’s weight…

The way the DeLorean’s stainless was made was with a more corrosion-resistant grade of stainless steel (316, compared to the 301 stainless used in the Cybertruck panels):

Indeed it is:

The only car that deserves to carry the SuperTurbo name:

Nonono, you see the thing with boxing is that they work up to the bigger punches as the fight goes on. If they did the big punch right at the start, they would knock the other guy out straight away and that would be boring.

These were two of the three that immediately came to mind for me. The third was the venerable Peugeot 504 (shown here in North African bush taxi mode).

Hard rock mining doesn’t need fossil fuels to refine the ore. Spodumene roasting can be accomplished with electricity.

Good pick there - i didn’t think they had squished two words together and was thrown off completely. On your other points, yep.

I mean, I’m stumped by it too. I can’t work out what you meant from context.

Yeah, this is going to be a supplementary propulsion source.

We’ll have him yet!

Fair enough - in those cases hiring a road-trip vehicle is probably your best bet. It’s not perfect, but it means you can have a vehicle that’s better-suited for your everyday needs and for your road-tripping or towing needs.

The best option in that case is, at present, either hiring a vehicle or making use of the lease programs that some manufacturers offer to use an ICEV for those kinds of journeys - it also means you can get a vehicle suited to long trips when you need it, and can optimise your everyday vehicle for your normal use…
