@Mike_M_Klotz Too bad it isn’t real.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@Fenris5_2021 @GrailArchive It’s ai slop.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@Astro_Lee2021 @RetroCoast No it wasn’t. The Citation was an x body. The Cavalier was a j body just like the Cimmaron. Cadillac never had an x body variant.

@Bulvarpress Nice…but I’m more impressed by the unbroken door map pockets.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@pr0ud_americans Also on the rear quarter panel a 76 Fleetwood doesn’t have the red reflector. That was used on earlier 70’s models. There’s no Fleetwood badge on the front fender. The rear tail fins are also from a pre 1974 model. Ai garbage.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@pr0ud_americans That isn’t a Fleetwood 75. Those are ai generated images. The rear seat is all wrong. In a 75 the rear seat would be set much further back with room for a jump seat. You can also see that in the exterior pics the front turn signal/cornering light is completely wrong.

@alphafox Please. Old VW vans are groovy and all but they are actually really, really terrible as transportation devices. Comically slow even by 60’s standards, terrible brakes and handling, heating is a joke, and probably the least safe vehicle in a front end collision ever produced.

@BryanSlog Renault Caravelle

@jcorriv35 I own a 25 Civic hybrid hatch. I used to own a 91 Civic hatch. My 25 is much more powerful, more efficient, safer, roomier, has tons more equipment and handles better (at least on paper). It’s a great car. And yet…it doesn’t endear itself to me like my old one did.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@Neondancer 100%. This is something I would buy. An electric city runabout that’s unsuitable for huge areas of the country…not so much.

@patrick12383581 @JackStr67850681 @JD2DG @rparloff Honestly there’s no point in debating these maga idiots. Facts mean nothing to them and they’ll twist themselves into a pretzel defending their cult leader. It’s really quite extraordinary.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@CoreyLewis86 Exactly. Faux cabriolet!

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@EVCircles The seats and door panels are good but the dashboard and console look like something from a retro, futuristic French or Italian economy car from decades past. Although of undoubtedly better materials quality.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@lowkeyinvest @collin_ruth89 And I’d be willing to bet that Honda and especially Toyota have engineered the manufacturing processes so that these inefficiencies don’t occur.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@lowkeyinvest @collin_ruth89 Plug in hybrids are more complex regular hybrids. Also, Honda hybrid >Jeep hybrid.

[Mr. Bloomsbury @MurphyLinus605]

@lowkeyinvest @collin_ruth89 The complexity thing is just a myth. My Honda hybrid has no alternator, no starter, basically no transmission, no serpentine belt, brake pads that last infinitely longer than a regular ice vehicle and an engine that only operates about 60% of the time for every mile driven.

@Done_With_Earth @SerraAetheria @chlocoate Do you honestly believe there are so many trans women buying tampons that it’s causing supply issues for biological women?

@lecternleader And yet…you identify as “The Lecturn Guy” on twitter. You aren’t exactly running away from your infamy. Also none of this would’ve happened if you weren’t an active participant in an insurrection. So spare us all the pity party.
