If Bay knew what he was doing, Prime WOULD have been a Black Semi in the movie, as he was “Nemesis Prime” in that, usually an evil clone of Optimus, painted all black with subtle teal highlights

Fair Use still applies even if your video is Monetized. However, I don’t think building a car replica counts as Fair Use, legally.  I still don't get how it's infringement for you to build yourself a car replica though.

Genuine question: Who cares if his work is “dangerous”? He’s not making his videos to say “Do exactly as I’m doing” or building cars to sell to people. He’s building cars for himself, and showing us what he’s done to entertain us and show us “Hey, look what’s possible!”

Back when Diane Halicki won the court case against Carroll Shelby, her lawyer said “You could build a bus called ‘Eleanor’ and we’d still own it”. So in honor of Chris from B is For Build, I’m starting my Eleanor Bus project, which entails of buying the cheapest bus possible and painting “DIANE HALICKI SUCKS AND SO…

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I drive my automobile?

You want an EV from the same people who couldn't figure out how to make a functioning electrical system?

This feels like a personal attack and I'm not sure why.

Something tells me a few of these commenters have a surplus of Tinfoil hats...

I’m glad you figured this out. I was FURIOUSLY combing through photos to try and find out what year he was (Though my first guess was 1967, coincidentally). Now I can go back to my other arduous task of trying to find out what happened to the ‘63 Herbie that Radio Disney gave away in 2005 for Fully Loaded.

This is pretty interesting. I’ll have to track this book down.

After some recent events, the value of Johnny Depp corpses has gone down. Something about too many collisions with other corpses, I don’t know.

I’m guessing you’re more of a Joey Stalin fan.

You do understand the concept of comedy, right? Nobody is actually going to give anyone at Jalopnik a nuke, and they definitely shouldn’t. They’d probably just use it to extort Porsche into giving them free 918s or something.

I don’t know where you live buddy, but typically here in the real world people don’t take the Drive-Thru at 70, so it’s a little bit easier to catch them.

If you think it’s okay for a service tech that you don’t know to go and joyride your car, put extra miles on it, and then eat food in it, then you’re on the wrong site, pal. But hey, since it’s fine for someone else to drive your car fast, what do you drive? Mind if I come over and Hoon it for a while, then go to a…

Something by Death Grips I’d imagine.

I love how ridiculous this idea the HOAs have that Boats and RVs make the neighborhood look bad and hurts the Property Value. If I see tons of Boats and RVs I think: “Jeez, these people must be LOADED, I wanna live here!”

Ah, you must live in San Francisco’s scenic Hell District.

Coming soon: The 2019 Mitsubishi 3000GT! (It’s an SUV as big as the Lincoln Navigator)
