Fold down barrier that fills the bed horizontally and bars the interior from the elements. I’m assuming this thing had specific latch points, so you couldn’t accidentally place the barrier somewhere that wouldn’t work, like over the wheel wells.

Build big-ass wooden planter boxes the size of a full size bed and put them on the curb in random intervals to narrow the lanes.

Nope. Inside or out, the thing’s ugly as fuck.

I’ve watched through the video multiple times on a 1080p monitor at 0.25x speed. I can’t see any badging.

I wonder how well this’ll fit in the doghouse of an old GM G20 van...?

The vehicle in question looks like a 2002-2003 Acura TL.

Yeah, that’s the weird thing about this Switch. It’s more like a central hull with outriggers. It still counts as a pontoon because the deck’s a separate piece above and not part of the hull, but it’s this weird grey area.

... you’d think a pontoon could deliver...

I’ve done it once through no fault of my own. The system really fucking hates bike racks and camping boxes hanging from trailer hitches. Something about the open gaps causes a false motion warning when coming to a stop at a light behind a vehicle with one.

I remember talking to people about Fallout and them thinking that Rad-X and Radaway were unbelievable. The idea that people would just live with an actively deadly threat and falsely shoo it away instead of easily removing the threat.

And yet here’s this shit. People will always take the harder, deadlier way.

Seriously. They sound like the weird shady energy drinks you’d find at a nameless gas station in bumfuck nowhere Ohio.

I’ve always heard they do this shit to cover up the sensors. Though never from the designers themselves have I heard this. Honestly it just makes the car uglier than showing the sensors.

Which, sadly, has also driven up the price. The Camaro’s a good example. In 1967 it was essentially a mishmash of X-body and B-body parts. It cost about the same as a Chevy II, measuring by base trims and stripper options of both models. Even by 1996 the Camaro, using truck engines and transmissions, still cost about…

That’s a really sad thing. Obviously it’s not sustainable to make a unique design for every damn thing and continue doing that every few years. But stopping production of these things entirely as homogeny takes over creates...

A really boring dystopia.

I have the actual original print records. Along with ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Deep Purple. I just hope this RV has a dual speed record player...

Here’s the actual amount of useful grill in all of that black plastic. It’s pretty abysmal.

That’s gonna take a whole lot of fiberglass to cover all that ugly...


Also, hilariously in the promo photo you can see the tiny actual air inlet that’s about the size of a coffee table book laid on its side.

but it looks like a home built in the 1970s does.

That rear end... The poor thing’s the contemporary Pontiac Aztek.

People have also been rumbling about replacing Pat Sajak for years. Over a decade at least, as well as I can recall. It became a lot harder for him to hide his horrible tendencies once he started doing interviews, and got a lot worse once he discovered social media.
