That is a shooting brake, not a wagon, given the lack of two rear doors.

I know one thing, whoever did the FX for Sean Young’s character Rachael in Blade Runner 2049 should have been hired to do Peter Cushing’s Tarkin in Rouge One.

I don’t know, he’s a pretty big guy. The people around him don’t look up to the task and a man of his size would probably do a lot of damage to a bus. Best to quietly hook a hitch to him and tow him to the nearest psychiatric ward.

You know if you are going to be derogatory you should probably get your terminology correct. The new object doesnt really fall into the asteroid description as it is likely large enough to be an oblate spheroid. So its a TNO or likely a .... dwarf planet.

who?

Ah, Drifting: the figure skating of motorsports. Sure it takes skill, but what’s the point?

I’m sorry, did you say something about some weird Italian coupé?

Oh Mazda....

Older F1 cars look better than new ones.

Sure. Drop it out of the back of a C-130 at 20k ft.

Remember Alderaan.

I grew up in the ‘50s during the worst part of Cold War I. We expected the Rooskies to nuke us at any minute; we had air raid drills in school, and every city had large public shelters. Many homeowners dug up their back yard and put in fallout shelters stocked with food and water, a shortwave radio and a geiger…

I’m totally prepared. I’ve got my old black leather clothes and a pair of sunglasses missing one lens. If I’ve learned anything about apocalypses is that there’s always one guy with only on lens in his sunglasses.

Judging by most people’s reactions, the first thing to do is to go on Twitter and say something to the affect “Holy Shit! Missiles are coming, this is crazzzzzzy!”
