So happy I'm not the only person who went straight to the Neutrinos.

Damn, this just triggered a deeeeeep memory.

The 3-episode Neutrinos arc was featured on what I believe was the first collection of TMNT cartoon episodes ever released on VHS. Definitely the first one I was aware of at the time.

I had it as a kid and watched it relentlessly. Even as a kid, I noticed that a lot of the plot points/dialogue didn't make any goddamn sense. I'm not talking nitpicky stuff like plot holes or bad writing, I mean things like characters interacting as friends in the first episode, then acting like they'd never even met and introducing themselves to one another in the second one.

After a dozen or so viewings, I realized that the episodes were out of order on the tape.

The car showing up in a later episode is one of my earliest memories of story continuity in a children's show back then.

It looks like if gets too many potshots it'll go up in a mushroom cloud

Potshot? A potshot is an easy or random target or guess. I'm lost your the use of this word.

Third time in about as many hours that I've felt like I just arrived on a new planet in that car with others using common words in competely new ways with no context link between the old and new uses at all.

...and no answer to the meanings either. Is this a viral prank that's still spreading?

Hey, don’t go tilting at straw men there pal :)

Oh no, not again. 🥴

Looks like someone stepped on another butterfly. 🤷‍♂️

from wikitionary: A shot taken at an easy or random target.

MurphysRazor@reddit

I guess that I get today. But without a "why" attached it's kind of a baffling thought taking a potshot at anything but a pot on a stump. My immediate thoughts of shooting are more along the lines of target range time or harvesting dinner than "Mars Attack-ack-acks" action scenes.

The luxurious seats are stuffed with eagle down, and the dashboard inlaid with the beaks of a thousand eagles.

Zomgzombehz@reddit

And yet the Luxury Edition has so much more eagle, it saddens me to think you are missing out.

I care! I care plenty! I just don't know how to make them stop!

Sure is some good looking coffee

carn1vore@reddit

I don’t know how comfortable I would be with a massive spike poking out of the dash, but otherwise can appreciate the Wario vibe.

MurphysRazor@reddit

That is like the least dangerous bullet stud in the car, lol. Fwiw it's covering the spot for the steering wheel for the car that the speedo came out of. They moved it over to the center.

I can't imagine how hot it would get in that bubble with the sun overhead

[-]

Curmudgeon@reddit

Like an ant under a magnifying glass.

MurphysRazor@reddit

What is this, a car for ants?

Well yea

This actually would be a cool idea as a Hot Wheels diecast 1:64 car.

Weirdwheels? More like Hotwheels

That’s great until you need some privacy to pick your nose, or the sun comes out.

Didn’t that crazy old dude from Storage Wars own this at one point?

[-]

AnalPucker@reddit

Yup, Barry did. In his off shoot show series, he drove it to Texas. Thing barely made it and cooked him in that heat. You can tell every time he drives it, the front of the glass is up just a bit to get air into the cabin since... I guess the A/C doesn't really work in it??

I was about to say. You're constantly in direct sunlight in a glass dome. You're essentially a step below a greenhouse.

In a alternate timeline this would be what we are all ~~driving~~ flying now.
