This just looks like a bootleg version of the slate trucks that Jeff Bezos is investing in.
The one big difference is that Slate is all electric while REO is all gas which makes it doubly more too good to be true. I will still hold out hope because a boy's gotta have his dreams.
i wonder what's jersh's favorite type of vehicle? i remember the vw id buzz thing in the car thread.
It's the Fiberfab Avenger GT

Genuinely hoping that PPP doesn't forget what to do today.

There is no way that either of these vehicles the reo truck and the slate truck will cost under $50k
The slate truck will definitely launch at 25k, I suspect you just won’t be able to buy that version unless you’re a fleet customer. Give it a couple of years and they’ll be under 15k lightly used, that’s a decent price for a runabout that has zero running cost.

I don't have one. I wanted a VW Beetle back in the day but I never bought one. After that I had an interest in getting a lime green or yellow Chevy Camaro but never did that either. All vehicles I've had I've driven over 100kmi.
 
Here's something I want to share with the group. I've been watching a lot of repair and restoration vids which has led to videos on the enshitification of everything and why mechanics/technicians are fleeing the industry. The talent flight or brain drain is due to manufacturing companies doing shit like charging a subscription fee for software just to be able to do an oil change
Back in the 70's-80's companies released technical manuals to help facilitate repair but that practice is on the way out for any consumer product. It is crazy to design circuits with all these protections in place but then put it into a box with a "warranty void if removed" sticker.
Look at how detailed this service manual was for the 1979 Sony Walkman cassette player.

Now it is so much worse than one can imagine. Not only are most electronics black box items that cost hundreds if not thousands to replace but most could be diagnosed and fixed for a couple of bucks if the manufacturers were not dead set on forcing people into warranty ending contracts for trying to fix it themselves. This is true at every level from consumer items like a washer, TV, or car as well as industrial machinery and equipment like tractors, manufacturing machines, and laboratory devices. A friend does appliance repair and he has too many examples of how cheap appliances are designed to fail days or months after the manufacturer's warranty expires. Also how despite some parts being universal across low and high end products companies will give them separate part numbers so it costs more to buy the part for the high end model. The technician has no choice because to put anything other than the exact model number would void the warranty and they would be culpable.
For the industrial/B2B side I have seen things you would not believe. A company getting upset after being told their system was far more accurate than advertised. Seen a new product die three quarters of the way through development because two companies refuse to come to an agreement on letting the other see critical information to diagnose a problem because "muh IP". On the other end helped developed a needlessly complicated version of something because it was a direct copy of the competitors product and these changes would insulate the company from liability. Time to die.

I've always liked the classic beetle, mostly because of the herbie movies sadly.

The late 2000s camaro? Or something older from the f body.

I like camaros but I've always liked the firebird more. Mostly the 2nd gen firebird

MATI intro suggestion. Electronic / metal song with a music video that depicts the cursed reality we're currently living in.
 
Closest we have right now is the digital circus VR thing brought up in the digital circus thread that @Two Frogs supposedly got sexually harassed by multiple seperate kaufmo avatar guys in when trying to figure out fan reactions to the final episode. So that should give you an idea of what they'd do if there was a theme park.
I've never been sexually harassed by teenagers more in my life, to be quite honest. It's not even just the Kaufmos.
 
Car talk reminds me of earlier car talk stuff. Can't remember what thread or chat it was in but I think @The Great One was in there too.

A whole lot of cars I've aimed to get at some point but never gotten. One of the things I always come back to looking at (that'd require me to know how to do this shit or know someone that can) is when people rig up weird tiny european cars from the 70s with decently powerful modern motors for no real reason other than "that shit's cool"
Maybe someday it'll be this or something more autistic.
