My (sister’s) old(ish) car also has character. It has butter-smooth CVT, it has a very reliable climate control, it hauls ass and luggage well, it handles well, it is built to last, super easy to wrench on and does not break the bank.

The car itself is actually a Faraday cage.. Oh, the irony!

There is this saying, “never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers”.

This is the problem of this (millenial?) generation: they don’t want central authorities. (while ironically doing things that make someone else [more stupid or “AI” or scammers or irrational types] become the “central authority” for them).

No.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. The “accepted by society” part could actually happen, despite our rational thinking says “no” firmly.

This?

It will be very interesting if some of the game mechanics are applied to current F1 rules.

Marvel Mystery Oil sounds like something from a Dr. Strange story.

Nope. The answer is motorcycles and Uber-motorcycles (yeah, that is a thing here).
