Well, you may have been delirious but at least you had your priorities straight!

Thanks! That was not a fun experience. It’s been some 8 years now and my lungs still kinda suck. Do not recommend.
Here’s one more funny car pic I found in my archive:
(Potato quality pic taken with an iPhone 3GS back in 2010. That’s a bear on the license plate.)

Raaaaather puts me in mind of this {⇦ not car-related}
Here’s some silly car-related stuff from me hard ahem drive:
The Halloweeniemobile!!!
…and last but not least, the Absolute Beauty nicknamed The Flying Wombat:
I met one at an auto show in Detroit when I was a little kid, even younger than this chap.
When I saw the Phantom Corsair, I learned what love is like. Nothing in the vast, busy, packed hall existed but me and that gorgeous, bizarre car. I saw and heard nothing but us and my breathing. I will never forget it.

We have a Hot Wheels of that! Until then I didn’t know it was an actual vehicle, and thought it was something Mattel made up (a la “Twin Mill”)

Elon Musk notoriously promised self-driving cars for over a decade without actually delivering a fully autonomous system. Now, the Tesla CEO is promising the President of the United States that he can deliver the new Air Force One in only a year.

Musk gave the same copy-paste criticism of the Air Force One order that he spouts towards any engineering project, the New York Times reports. He claimed that the aircraft intended to survive the envisioned nuclear apocalypse of World War III was over-engineered and didn’t need all the required test flights. Boeing has struggled to convert the jumbo jet’s interior, especially fitting the wiring systems. Workers able to receive the necessary top-secret clearance have been difficult for the planemaker to find. Musk advised the Trump administration to lower the security clearance needs to work on Air Force One.

The most extreme alternative proposed is converting a Boeing 747 previously owned by the Qatari royal family to temporarily serve as Air Force One. The aircraft was spotted at Palm Beach International Airport near Mar-a-Lago. This is a ridiculous idea because it hinges on the idea that Trump could hastily assemble a team to do the same task Boeing is struggling with in a fraction of the time.

Well, Karma - here’s your chance to make good.

5 minutes later, the Cybertruck got stuck and needed to be recovered…by a Prius.
At least, that’s what woukd happen if I was writing the script.

Why stop at a 747, though - I thought Starship was supposed to be able to do point to point?

Looking through my archives again. Here’s a couple r/infowarriorrides from my area:
And here’s someone that probably should have their license revoked just for being incapable of stickering their plates properly:

Awesome, this silly thing is somewhere in Michigan, that’s the Sparty “water winter wonderland” license plate. And it started life as a Prius, now it’s an 8-bit Prius.

I bought a bunch of random Hot Wheels (why isn’t is Hot Wheelz; that would be rad to the max) to convert for the game Gaslands. However, the paint jobs are just too nice for me to mess up and Mad-Maxify.

The neat thing about those emblems is that, even while sticking firmly in place, one can easily and safely remove them with sewing thread (slide underneath, then back and forth like a knife) if the manufacturer’s adhesive is used. (I learned that from an aftermarket, paint protection film installer.)
