    I agree. How's it in Tesla Land? I imagine those forums are filled with interesting people. Certainly classier than us lowly Mirage peasants lol. Nice to see you again. Name:  teslas-cybertruck-is-here-and-the-internet-is-going-crazy-wi_gww8.jpg

    Thanks. I’ve browsed some of those forums but it’s not really necessary to drive the stupid car.

    Elon Musk is a real character. Read about how making the Model 3 almost broke him.

    There’s no place like home. Just click your heels Dorothy.

    I’m into the Entropism aesthetic. I want to see someone rat rod a Mirage… futuristically…

    Futuristic design would mean your Mirage is an EV or PHEV.

    Exactly my thoughts! It would be both hilarious and cool.

    Wouldn't mind an EV, I did see a video where someone strapped a motor to the engine block head of an old car and used it to spin the belt. I can't believe it actually drove well enough... and its hilarious they made an EV that requires oil changes. If I find the video again I'll link it here.

    DeLorean is back. Nice. That's a big sedan considering it's only a 2 + 2 seating.

    If they ever make one. Production is supposed to start in 2024. If it ever gets built it’ll be one awesome car.

    Do Deloreans qualify as cyberpunk?

    That depends. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I personally think it has the aesthetics of a dystopian society.

    The whole basis of "Cyber Punk" aka "Blade Runner" is a simple question, one posed by the great science fiction author Philip K. Dick. The question is, if we go even further with AI research and a computer program or other entity develops a conscience, an awareness of its own existence, does it deserve the same rights and autonomy as a human being? Fascinating esoteric stuff. Its a big question that will have to be answered eventually.
