Echo, echo:

I’m A-1 glad to see others touting Grand Prix for being such an awesome flick. When Jalopnik posted on F1, I brought up Grand Prix:

Yeah, this couple doesn’t strike me as Cybertruck owners, and I don’t think Tesla claims any of their other vehicles have huge ball bearing proof glass.

Good point, but no one wants to be seen experiencing that wonderful suspension in the car it was originally designed for.

Tourist trap islanders whining about tourists spending their Euros on the island—everyone is a sniveling hypocrite.

Considering how often the Mustang II front suspension has been used over and over by hot rods, street rods, and kit cars; the car has more legacy in the car world than it gets credit for.

As I Miss Splinter more explicitly pointed out 10 mins after me, Bellwood effed-up with confusing hydrogen with helium.

It’s helium, it looks like the craft uses helium in the pneumatic valve control system that controls its thrusters. Helium tends to be used in pneumatic applications in space instead of nitrogen (like we use on Earth in most cases) because it is unbothered by the temperature extremes of liquid oxygen and hydrogen…

So is it a hydrogen leak (the Hindenburg) or a helium leak (inert)?

To be fair, wouldn’t any windshield shatter under the same circumstances?

Ugliest = worst.

Fair enough...I see “smirking catfish”.

Boo. Boo, I say. They went for the unconventional, they succeeded with the unconventional.

Oh god, I hate looking at that car. Every time I see it I just think “scary sea creature”

Hey, the shareholders were “genius” enough to give him a whopper payday, so I’m sure they’ll have no problem letting Elon ransack Tesla for the benefit of xAI.

Yup. Remember how a few months ago before the shareholder vote on the pay package, he threatened to move all future AI development out of Tesla?

Holy crap, I was just saying yesterday how I think it’s a massive conflict of interest that Musk is running his own AI company on the side while pushing Tesla as an AI company too, and that the only purpose would be to force TEsla to buy out xAI for a inflated price... and now here we are!

The Mitsuoka Orochi:

Given Ford’s obscene warranty costs, I’d say anyone there who read and grasped Phillip Crosby’s book, Quality Is Free, is either retired or fired:

He’s the CEO of a car company who just said he’s not interested in making cars anymore. Maybe he really IS Tony Stark after all! :)
