Kind of funny watching Elon talk about the their new super strong glass that can handle high impacts. Only to have two windows shatter during their demonstration. 

that is one ugly vehicle

I dunno. Remember when Steve Jobs revealed the "iPad" and everyone went "lulz, MaxiPad!"?  Well, here we are 10 years later and no one really blinks an eye about that now.  I don't know where I'm going with this analogy other than to say I think we'll get used to this new Blade Runner-style design... if the utility is there that Elon is promising.

I thought the Pontiac Aztec taught every automaker this lesson.

I make (and love) something similar, but with a swipe of mayo instead of butter.  Good stuff!

One thing Tesla does on their vehicles (including the cars) is keep the blank, flat space where the radiator grill would be.  Why not round it off and make it look nice?

My guess: that would increase manufacturing costs.  This thing looks like it can be assembled quickly by slapping several SS panels together.

ive walked 10 hours out of the woods at night in the rain to get a battery for the truck before, maybe im biased against this idea as a whole

Hey @botch I had to read your comment very carefully.  Second time I imagined an 'in' slotted between love & something.    
Am I a bad man if I was not repelled by the imagined concept?  I mean - its bacon right? 

CPFC1905

Just like Jose - I’m back.  I rejoin you a year older but one ThermoPro better off - so that’s about fair I reckon.

Here we go then - eyes down;

As if it were written in the stars - first out the traps is indeed the Special One.  He takes his new friends to West Ham and I think they’ll win 2 - 1.  Flash forward 18 months and two different managers will be involved in this fixture - neither of the present incumbents feel particularly permanent. 

Proper o’clock;

Solid at home Arsenal welcome Southampton who are in terrible form, albeit it is fractionally less shocking on the road.  2-0 Gunners and they stumble forward. 

Bournemouth welcome Wolves, which has 1-0 home win stamped all over it.  Maybe 2-1, but nothing much to see here.

Brighton await free flying Foxes who are playing with the self confidence of a middle aged man with a new set of gnashers, a teak glow out of a bottle and boy-band haircut.  Well they do say teams adopt the image of their leader.   The wretched Seagulls have proved nuggety at home but Leicester just don’t get the rules and will dash about trying to score all the time.  And will towards the end.  Twice.  2-0 Leicester. 

Liverpool are cordially invited to the cemetery of titles, the graveyard of hopes - Selhurst Park.  There’s a bonkers stat somewhere that Palace have scuppered more title ambitions and sunk more teams than anyone else (in the last 5 years anyway).  Even though Liverpool are light to the tune of one Salah and one Robertson, they still got plenty.  They can’t lose because Palace have elected to not score this season, perhaps this is some sort of artistic expression - but frankly they need have a word with themselves in the mirror and start sticking it in the onion sack.  FFS.  Reds 2-0.  FFS (again)

Everton are not great this season, Norwich are about where they should be.  Despite the hosts poor position they should have enough to take the three points.  2-1 with a late Pukki consolation for the mustard boys.

Watford and Burnley will huff and puff for more than an hour and a half to little effect.  Watford have been abysmal but show signs of steadying the ship and will take a draw in this one.  Troy Deeney is back for them - which they think this is great news, but ask anyone who knows football and if Mr D is your saviour, you’re doomed.   Burnley are being Burnley.  0-0

Teatime funtime;

Citeh and Chelsea will probably rack up a dozen goals.  Both are a bit exciting going forward and the Mancs let in one per game.  I do fancy a nice 5-3 here, though.  More to the point its the game that Frank Lampard can’t lose - a feted son of both teams, the man can do no wrong.  

Stoke are rampant, they have surged to second bottom and with another win could exit the relegation zone.  All hail the O’Neill revolution.  I have them for  a 2-1 win over Wigan - which is famous for pies and piers. And northern soul.

Bangles-Eve and just one game; 

Ole’s mystery gang head to Yoooooooooorksire,  Sheffield in fact - home of Phil Oakey and Peter Stringfellow (RIP) which is a disproportionately productive city for music.  Not so much for coal though.  Not now.  Anyway - if Man Utd are indeed on the way back, they need to pot the Blades with ease.  They won’t 1-1.

Bob Geldoff’s 7th favourite day;

Newcastle and the furious 30,000 blunder down to the outskirts of Birmingham to play Aston Villa.  I’m no expert but I suspect there will be few brain surgeons or rocket scientists in the crowd.   Villa just can’t close games out and Newcastle are invariably precarious.  I am feeling 1-1 and little to write home about.

That’s your lot sports fans.  I am off to prepare for my all-nighter watching Day 3 of New Zealand v England.  I am of course joking because if history has taught us anything then it is only worth watching the last over of any match between these two teams.  And that’s not for another few days yet.

I wonder if it floats?

Taking an online defensive driving course here at work.  I should have just paid the damn ticket and not worried about it.  Sure wish they would let you just skip on to the test.

Online? Lucky. My state requires sitting in a classroom from 4 hours in the evening. I know b/c I'll be there on Dec 10th.

Texas gives you the choice.  It's a ghost town here so I thought I would knock it out.

One of my guys turned up to a site safety test, got full marks and was then told he couldn't get the certificate without going on a course.

I'm thinking the busted windshield was staged to draw more attention. Elon going for the infamous Bill Gates BSOD demo.

That reminds me of a cheesy 1970’s sci-fi film like Space 1999.

The Pacer, Gremlin, and Javelin don’t hold a candle to that Aztec.

I think I'd take an Aztec long before a Nissan Juke. Looks like a damn frog driving down the road

ugliest to me was the gremlin in faded plum/peptobismol. that color just made that car exceptionally ugly

I wonder if this really works...
