Seriously, a business cleaning up space junk is so what we need right now. My investing dollars stand at the ready...

Quark?

As long as they call their first ship Salvage 1.

United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol is back in business. 

it’s entirely possible that commercial flights will only have one pilot in twenty years

Easier than that, the could change the way we board passenger planes. Board back to front, and deplane front to back would speed things up considerably.

It would be easy to make flights better in lots of ways. If you are a road warrior, you already know that every flight is misery and the people who expect it to be fun or luxurious are the worst. Just like the clueless people who nickel and dime and complain about every 5 dollar charge.

Funds will be appropriated for charging infrastructure so long as that infrastructure is available to the public, capable of charging vehicles made by more than one manufacturer, and can be paid for via credit card

$12,500 won't build a new garage when the Union-Built Bolt burns it down.  Crack pipe.

I have read that the Wachowskis originally wrote the script that the humans were used as computing processors or ram or something, but was deemed by the producers/studio as too complicated for movie audiences and so they changed it to batteries to dumb it down for everyone, even though it makes no sense. I’m sorry, I…

100% sure that’s a bouncy castle blower.

These had HUGE cargo capacity, low load floor, and tons of headroom. If I had a family this would have been my minivan alternative

And the ONLY reason Ford kept these around for so long was because of how well it sold in California. I see several of these a day. It’s basically a refrigerator on wheels, and for that I love it. Not to mention, the Ecoboost engine could hit 400 HP easily with just a tune. 

I will always appreciate a supercar that gets driven over one that sits in a bunker as an “investment”. Take the thing out and drive it! Life is too short to worry about depreciation.

Ford Flex. It wasn’t a flop, but selling a little over 300,000 units during a run of 12 model years wasn’t enough for the blue oval. Selling a CUV alternative is tough when your customers overwhelmingly prefer a regular old CUV. The cool and funky wagon-ish vehicle lost out bigly to the generic blobs. Sad!

Only 35k ever made over a 4 year run. Partially because GM killed the brand (along with Pontiac), and partially because it filled a niche between the Corvette and Miata (and the base level competed directly with the Miata)...an answer to a question few really asked. 

I feel like a broken record saying this on so many QOTD posts, but the MR2 Spyder. It didn’t sell well because it was a huge change from the previous generation and didn’t have much available storage. It out performed the Miata for less money. It was a 2,195lbs, mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car in the low…

1998 - 2002 Pontiac Trans Am

The Nissan NX. It was the successor to the Pulsar NX that is well-loved on Jalopnik. Based on the Sentra platform, it was available with the SR20DE engine from the SE-R plus all of the SE-R’s handling accoutrements, in addition to having larger brakes than the SE-R offered. It also came with t-tops and a sporty…
