    It must be so embarrassing to drive one of those ugly plastic things around. Good riddance.

    Completely off topic, but why does “an European” sound wrong? Like I’ve always said “an American” but never “an United States citizen” and it just doesn’t sound right.

      I hear the Titan submersible billionaires are alive but trapped in an underwater cave. Elon should go save him in his trapped-Thai-children submarine.
