They had something like that at the old Disneyland, Anaheim. Auto something, an E ticket. I like the cyclops look of the single headlamp.Suppose an Isle of Man race was done only with cars made there?

Sustainability vs "carrying capacity", responsible efficiencies improvements considered.

Disney had a penchant for poaching ideas for the park, I knew someone who worked out an attraction, submitted it, had it rejected, and a version of it turned up there later. Wish I could remember which.

Durant on his spending spree bought for alternative tech that may or may not predominate, Elmore being one example.
Do you remember this "creature" (robot?) from Lost in Space, that had a car headlight for an eye ? That's what popped into my mind when I saw the P50 car...

I appreciate that
It's just that the zero politics rule covers the "slippery slope" peripheral political topics as well. Topics that involve vague political concepts are usually just one post away from exploding with all kinds of partisan political posts and it gets ugly quick.
Here's a random thought for you, did you know that certain higher powered LED lightbulbs have "cooling fluid" in them that can leak internally and form a small puddle inside the glass bulb? Yeah, me either, I'd never heard of such a thing till I had not one but two LED bulbs in an enclosed fixture turn up with a viscous puddle in them. An internet search turned up other posts about this, and I wouldn't have known had one of them not failed (the other was still working, with a smaller puddle in it).
And it seems the further I dig into this, the LEDs filled with "cooling Fluid" stopped being sold some time ago . Those LEDs were literally filled with it according to this;

So what do we have here? Could it be that these newer bulbs have the "liquid silicone coolant" in the white LED strips themselves instead of having the entire bulb filled with it as in the article? I know it's not fluid from the electrolytic capacitors in the base because I got the base off of one of them and the electronics are on the outside of the sealed glass bulb.
Liquid Cooling Technology for LEDs
Best quality LED A-lamp light bulbs provide a superior, energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bulbs, which have essentially been banned as of January 1, 2014. LED bulbs offer the same amount of light as an incandescent while using up to 80 % less energy. There still remains, however, a...
