The Nissan made a bunch of, you know, concept vehicles and put it in the anime, goes in the shell, standalone complex.
So like all the cars you see in that show are actually Nissan designs.
Oh, that's sick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they're like accurate to real world designs too. That's super sick.
Yeah, the prototypes at least. Yeah, because unfortunately, none of the prototypes make it out of prototyping stage.
They dumb it down to the point of them being fucking ugly.
They just look at your vehicle car.
Tesla is the only company that I know of that actually made something different with the cyber truck.
It actually looks like the concept.
Yeah, I've felt the same way for a long time.
Like, the 80s cars are very different from the 90s cars,
which are very different from like the 2000s cars.
But the past 25 years or so, cars have looked pretty much the same.
We haven't had any distinct, like, visual things.
Aside from like one-offs, like, you know, the PT Cruiser was obviously very different from other than the cars except for the HHR,
which was essentially the same thing.
But besides that, and then the cyber truck, cars have looked pretty much the same.
Even truck, I mean, like, especially trucks look completely identical.
Everything looks like a raptor at this point.
You know, look at RAM, look at Raptor, look at...
No, absolutely.
They all look the same, yeah.
I mean, I drive a Raptor, and it just looks like aviator truck.
Yeah, and, you know, like the suburban, the Yukon, all of those that are built on the truck chassises look the same as well.
Yep, that's right.
I guess except for the electric cars, I think, look a little bit different.
Of course, by design.
Yeah.
But other than that, we really...
We need some more fresh designs.
I'm looking at Nissan USA's future concept page.
You can just Google it, right?
Beautiful. Like I want to see these on the road. They look so cool. They're like polygonal, right?
They've got all these polygonal designs, not like the cyber truck, which is way too flat. Looks like a PlayStation 1 thing.
This looks like more like a PlayStation 2 thing and it's like wow. Why don't they make these?
I'm actually a really big fan of the the cyber truck look. I love the like the N64 graphic stuff.
Oh, this is, you are so right.
These are cool.
They look better.
These are sick.
Holy moly.
I've just completely changed my mind there in the past 15 seconds.
Exactly.
Wow.
Like, I'm there for it.
Give me this.
This one on the left with like the triangular wheels.
That's super sick.
That's the best one, yeah.
That's my favorite.
Absolutely.
Looking at that one, it's like, oh, I want to drive that.
That's cool.
Holy moly.
The HyperTor is pretty cool as well.
I feel like though you couldn't go over a speed bump with that thing.
Yeah, I probably couldn't, yeah, because it's too low, yeah.
Oh, the inside of that is really sick.
Oh yeah.
The hyper urban?
Oh, wow.
Like, just look at the insides of that.
Holy shit.
This is the one, the hyperpunk.
Oh, pretty.
Oh, yeah, Epiopunk is like the best one, I think, yeah.
You can watch a video of it.
Yeah, I'm looking at that right now.
That's a real car, too. It exists.
Yeah, now I need them to make it for under like $300,000.
Yeah, I'll buy it.
It's steering where it looks like a video game.
Yeah, I'll drive this around Dubai, you know?
Everybody here's like got a Mercedes or something.
I'll drive this.
So are you based there at Dubai?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay, sick, sick, sick.
Great place.
This is so cool. Why doesn't this exist?
Like there's just like one of it. Come on.
I'm thinking about heading over there for a token 2048 at the end of April as long as I can find a
Everyone else is as long as I know but see the problem is I live in the Midwest so as long as I can find a flight for under like three grand. I'll probably go, but
fine out of my airports are ridiculous.
Yeah, it's, it, let me see, where are you in the Midwest exactly?
I'll look at the prices.
I'm over there, like, SBN, FWA, and, uh, ORD, like Chicago land, kind of.
Okay, let's see, I'm checking.
Let me take a quick look here.
Uh, what are we looking at, like, okay.
Ah, five, I remember I was going to go, how much?
From which airport?
Five 79.
Round trip.
Holy moly, from which airport?
A Fort Wayne.
There's no way.
What dates?
What dates?
I just looked like random like April 9 to April 16.
Oh, this is going to be the end of April.
So I'm thinking like the 28 through the 4th here.
Let me look.
Okay, so 28 to me.
Let's see, 28 to...
Because that's insane.
500 bucks.
Last year for the Dubai crypto event, I was looking at it.
It was like 4 grand to go anywhere from around here.
And I was like, yeah, I don't want to go that bad.
Right, yeah, that's a bit too much.
Looking at it, so, okay, round trip, Fort Wayne on departing on the 28, returning on the fourth, 1,200.
Okay, that's not terrible.
Yeah, it'll be flying United, so...
Pretty good.
Okay.
United's kind of screwed me over a couple of times.
I got their credit card because their stuff is so good.
Yeah, there's two stops of it.
I mean, it's fine.
It's no big deal.
Oh, I don't care about layovers.
I don't usually book direct at all because I just go the cheapest way.
I don't care if it's economy.
I don't care.
I got the credit card that lets me take, you know, bags in, even if I have the basic economy.
So...
Okay, yeah, you're good, yeah.
Is it 1,000, too?
Yeah, yeah.
Both ways.
It's not terrible at all.
Run trip, yeah.
Let's be cheap.
Yeah, that's actually pretty good.
I might have to actually come over there.
Yeah, it should.
SBN's like a hundred bucks cheaper, and that's not bad at all.
Nope.
I got a family over there.
Oh, Chicago's 850.
Wow.
Okay, that's a lot better.
A lot better.
Yeah.
Yeah, looking at ORD. So, ORD to Dubai, departing on the 28, it's searching.
I think it's time.
Yeah, I had Detroit.
At a Detroit, I can get there for 6.71.
The only problem is that I have to go to Detroit.
Yeah.
But if you go straight to the airport, it's fine, right?
True, true.
I have to see if I could hire my brother to do that because I don't like parking at airports.
They always hit you with so many fines. It's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Yep, just haven't dropped you there, yeah.
And plus it's shorter as well from Chicago.
It's 17 hours instead of 20.
It's only one stop.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, it's not bad at all.
Yeah.
token A.
Well, I think that's what I'm going to have to do then.
Yep, let's do it.
Let me pencil that in here.
I had to figure out which days, which days max is going,
because it might be a couple different dates,
but if I can fly out of there, that's.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me put that in the notion here.
Mm-hmm.
i think max would be flying out of like lax or something because he's going to uh la for the entirety of april
yeah these these nissan cars driving around dubai are would be so killer i love that i need
the the punk here this one looks absolutely the best phenomenal
Like, I don't, you know, I look at cars, I don't normally be like, oh, I want that, I need that, you know?
Like, I don't, because they're just cars.
But look at this.
I want this.
I need this.
That's what I'm saying.
Exactly.
The only thing they got me on is it's all electric, and I'm not a fan of the all electric ones.
You don't have a car out there, do you?
No, I don't have one, no.
I have one in Malaysia.
I have a Raptor there.
Oh, that's cool.
That's like a cheap kind of.
Uh, no, it's a, it's a, what do you call it?
It's a truck, yeah.
It's a pickup truck, yeah.
It's got a Mustang engine in it, so, you know, it's basically a...
Was it a V8?
Uh, I think mine's V6.
Let me see.
Turn 24.
I'm going to see what engine I have.
I'm not really a car guy, so it has a V6.
V6 twin turbo.
I'm not the biggest car guy, but, uh, some of these...
Trucks are like super, super nice.
I think Dodge made a Viper with a V10 engine back in the day, which was super, super nice.
Nice.
I guess the Ford E series.
Yeah.
See, once again, I'm not, I can't do the full electric.
Because like, what do you do?
Carging takes forever.
And then what do you do if you run out of power on the highway?
You can't just go to the nearest gas station and get a bucket of electricity.
You know what they do?
Like people drive trucks that are all electric and they don't last way long.
Do they actually have a generator?
Yeah.
That's insane.
It's embarrassing.
It's absolute insanity.
So like, what's the fuck?
