I think I'd be willing to pay for a ChatGPT plugin that scanned all movies, TV shows, and books to provide a list of those that had the expression, "smartest person in the room" and/or any Musk/Bezos clone. I'd take that list and carefully avoid anything on it.

@lowqualityfacts I don't think all of them are stuffed with dynamite. No more than 80%.
@tehabe @lowqualityfacts 4k? 8k or bust. More is always better.

For real. The last car had like 3 miles, so pretty close.
You've gotta love the 1k delivery charge, too.
Not related, but I remember a news segment in the 90s about used dealerships rolling back the odometer.
"Wow, this ten year old car only has 2,000 miles on the odometer! I'll buy it."
@drwhitt @caseyliss @mathowie I'm not sure I buy the dealership's claim. I'm guessing that Toyota might regard too much inventory in a particular dealership as a negative.
But yeah, it's not for the consumer's benefit that they don't have any inventory for test drives.
They really are providing nothing, and they only get away with it because everyone else is doing the same.
You can't even walk away with a car that has two keys now.
@drwhitt @caseyliss @mathowie a Toyota dealership recently said it was because Toyota penalizes the dealership for keeping test drivd vehicles.
Truth is, there is no benefit to the dealership if they can't provide a test drive and can't even guarantee you'll get exactly what you ordered.
Hyundai let me custom order from a dealer with no markup (even though I eventually cancelled my order).
@hotdogsladies @maxrsiegel the thing Moe taught me is that if you get a massage, someone will shoot you.
@mwl VHS should come back in style. If vinly records can do it, so can VHS (and 8 track).
@BlackAzizAnansi this is a very clever way to get your own Netflix reality show.
