Slam the seat to the ground

The Rednecks With Paychecks demographic.

So far, the only interesting thing I’ve seen in the trailers is Ron Livingston and it’s nowhere near enough for me to watch the movie. It just looks like massively over the top CGI-Everything that started as a director’s fever dream and ended with graphics that look perfectly at home on an Xbox 360. Gives me Green

That hasn’t stopped Tesla from continuing to promise that the Cybertruck would be produced... eventually. 

Looks like they stuck with many of the things I hated about my 2020 OR 6MT. The garbage shift knob, the tag lights pointed directly at the backup camera, the all-red tail lights, etc. They seem to have introduced some new ones though, like wtf is up with that giant handle right next to the shift knob and shutting

*but... With a long roof, which is the whole point of the mental exercise.

They are close, but it looks like the lower portion of the bumpers and wheel arches are dropped by a couple inches on the Stelvio, so I'm not sure how that would look dropped to the sedan's ride height.

Hmm, so likely almost as possible as throwing the WRX STI suspension and drive line under a Crosstrek to make the STI five door Subaru won't give us. Neat 

I wonder how much is the car is shared with the Stelvio. Is it possible I could swap the suspension, bumpers, front fenders and do a bit of work to the rear quarter to turn the Stelvio from yet another crossover to the sweet hatchback we can’t have?

For when your Extreme Golf Cart isn’t extreme enough, we give you the EXTREME Golf Cart.

Damn... It’s so gorgeous that I would’ve seriously considered buying in spite of not having a way to charge it at home nor easy access to hydrogen. 

A surprisingly high bar right now. 

No cities are being built from the ground up in the US. Everything is incremental improvements and require backwards compatibility. And there are certainly single seat vehicles being sold. I'm staring at the one I ride to work 5 days a week right now.

I can still buy, register, and drive a bone stock Ford Model A. I don't think that's going to be a problem until I'm long dead

The Drive had an article about these things, and I really want one right now. It’d be the perfect daily rider for my commute back and forth to work in Oahu. 

A castle from France, now in Argentina. 

I wonder if there’s an Australian equivalent to ASPCA. I’d like to call them to report the mistreatment and abuse of a wild animal.

Lol, I realized I was in a microscopic minority of the population long ago and freely admit it. Every single new car that gets announced makes me more sure that I’m probably going to have to build the car I want myself because nobody is going to build it for me. 

Saw Helion when New Atlas did an article about them a while back. It's definitely an out of the box design. I won't put any bets on them but I do hope they are wildly successful. It would be nice to finally have a viable replacement for traditional nuclear and base load plants.
