Please create such a phone number!

Laugh with Torch, or see how cranky we can get our Goth Uncle?

Just like Shitbox Showdown, today’s a Both Day!

Even better I used to work customer support for a newspaper software company. We worked from home when not traveling. You called the customer support number all our phones rang and you got whoever picked up. Do this $2 a call 50 cents per minute tell me all about your dirty car.

That car is what Mad Dog Tannen drives after graduation.

It bugged me all weekend that I got the wrong Tannen; I meant Biff’s son Griff from “future” 2015, not grandfather Mad Dog from the Old West. But my conflation was justified because Griff’s hoverboard was called Pit Bull!

I’m glad someone else is as frustrated by AI and fake images of cars as I am. It’s disheartening to see an amazing looking vehicle only to find out no one built it and it’s just a concept.

On topic – that car does a great job of making an expensive Lambo look like a foofed up ‘Vette.

How is it different from regular concept cars or unavailable to the US cars?

Never change, Adrian.

As for me, I do like it, but mostly as exercise in aesthetics. Wouldn’t want to own it myself, but that might be more “it’s a Lambo” than “it’s a modified Lambo”.

If that’s an exercise in aesthetics, it’s the equivalent of this guy:

I hear that Torch has a landline that can only be called from other landlines.

I have one of those, too. And an Osbourne computer to go with it.

Hey in PA if you sign up for Internet, cable and landline it’s cheaper than Internet and cable alone. So I have a landline. I do not have a phone plugged into the line but I have a landline

The Pixel phone has a call screening function. If the number is not in your contacts, it will ask the caller to give a reason for the call. You get an instant transcription of the response. I use it because I am bombarded with phone spam.

I gave the call screening a good workout last month when I made the mistake of signing up for TrueCar when car shopping.

Nice? It’s … symmetrical. No, better: It merges classic forms [round wheels] with bold, expressive design elements and unprecedented levels of ventilation. There.

That MR2 image reminds me of one of my favorite gifs of all time, which is somehow very hard to find so you get an image instead:

I’d like to see a person get in and out of the vehicle. I’m uncertain where the doors separate from the body.

The two tires that we can see appear to be properly inflated.

It won’t look any uglier with dings and scratches than it already does, so you can street park it without a care in the world.

I’m pretty sure that’s a Lambo, dude. <scratches head> …well, I’m pretty sure. Ah hell, now that I really look at it, I’m not sure at all.

Lambos are generally designs rich in bullshit(pun-intended). This one is no exception.

Consider the Sian, or the Revuelto. There’s certainly a resemblance.

IMO, the best-looking Lambo is the original Miura. The rest don’t even come close.

The original Countach is a pretty vehicle. There’s a good example with comedians in cars getting getting coffee with Jim Carrey. Pretty sleek

I think the prototype of the Countach is not ugly. It probably would have come much closer to its 200 mph top speed goal than the one that was sold to the public, just from the mass and drag difference between the two, sharing the same engine.

Was it the handsome part that gave it away? Be honest.

I’m just happy Adrian saw it (notice me, senpai)

If you don’t mind getting pulled over. I had a yellow Mustang ask me how that went. Yellow is just over the top from red.

The twist would be if Adrian chose to discuss automotive minutiae at length and Torch called you a winkle-tickling cock womble.
