The top car is a 1956 Astra-Gnome concept car (never actually manufactured for us). Photo credit / more info: https://www.petersen.org/vehicle-spotlights/1956-astra-gnome
The bottom vehicle is a dumpster sold by a wanker.
Reasonable middle ground:
It’s a diving sad day when bladerunner looks like a reasonable middle ground.
Fuck you, autocorrect.
This car will definitely be useful for diving
A seperate bubble compartment for the kids, and offroad tires. I mean, I’d buy it. Though $82,000 is still a steep price for a car, even now.
It’s the car Bladerunner would drive. You know, Bladerunner, from Bladerunner. By Ridleyscott.
You know, the original book isn’t even called “Bladerunner.” It’s called “Do Bladerunners dream of running blades?” Ridleyscott changed it based on some Rutgers Howie improv.
THAT’S NOT THE CHARACTER’S NAME YOU WEIRDO TECH BRO!
Yes I am mad at Elon. Blade Runner: The Final Cut is my favorite movie.
Next you’re gonna tell me he doesn’t even run blades.
I always wanted one of these
What’s the concept/name/model?
Any specific reason for the 2 separate engines?
What’s the advantage?All I can think of is that you might be running a much lower powered, single engine when not in 4WD mode.
I don’t get it, because I can’t see enough of the car behind that dumpster to understand the point
Um… what is that?
Still waiting for a KDE steering wheel
A steering wheel?
Keering Keel
A Gnoming wheel?
That one in the top looks like it was created in Spore

I understand, and it’s wonderful you don’t care whether anyone questions your sexual orientation
I care! I care plenty! I just don’t know how to make them stop!
I know it’s a different show, but… I dunno. Suck a butt or something. At least it’s the same car
I’m waaaaayyyyy too orange-pilled for this. Both images are wrong.
Which pill is orange again?

FYI this is also slang for “Bitcoin enthusiast”.
The funny thing is that even if cybertruck wasn’t absolutely demolished it still wasn’t even close to astra-gnome
Are you suggesting I picked the worst image of a cybertruck I could find? (I did. :) )
Past promised pedestrians slasher and present delivers.
They are the same picture.
This just shows that personal automobiles are bullshit. A bicycle has not changed fundamentally in over 100 years, meanwhile cars are constantly changing for no discernable reason.
The internal combustion engine is fundamentally unchanged since invention, so is the electric motor, both well over 100 years old too.
And personal automobiles are still fundamentally the same as a horse driven carriage: four wheels with a box on top for seating and sheltering from weather, and a driver in front for steering. The first mechanically driven carriage even predates the bike by more than 200 years.
The bicycle has changed quite a bit in the last hundred years. The modern derailleur was introduced in the 1930s. Moving the shifters to the handles was more recent. Clipless pedals and disc brakes were both introduced in the 70s. Carbon fiber frames reduced their weight substantially.
Their basic shape hasn’t changed much, but everything else has.
I mean, they both look like they would obliterate any unfortunate pedestrian they’d come in contact with… But the top one moreso. It’d cut them in half.
As oppsed to the deer thay got cut in half by a wank panzer?
I’m just saying the top one would do even more damage. They’re both terrible 🙈
