Oh, the adrenaline rush when I would go over the top bar, hands still on the chain. I don't care who claims it's not possible.
Wow. I wish I could believe it was real. The ad is all AI, narrated by AI (recognize the voice from the cheap viagra commercial?). At 32 seconds, look at the front "plate." It's says "Ply*oulth" (the * meaning a gibberish letter that's trying to be an "m" but failing miserably). And what the hell is on the grill? AWPU? I can't tell, but nothing says "Roadrunner" like the AI narrator claims.
At 1:00 it shows a front plate, but it has gibberish on it, too, and now look what's on the grill. It's not "AWPU" anymore, it almost looks like it says "Tornado," but it's gibberished to the max also.
That's when I gave up. I'm sure the rest of the video is just as unbelievable. It sure would be nice if it WAS real, though. I've had enough of the little look-alike boxes that you can't tell what make and model they are if your life depended on it. Remember when you could just glance at a car and say, Oh, that's a '66 Rambler, or whatever. Not no more...
Anyway, I call B.S. on the whole thing, sorry. I found several websites advertising the new 2026 Roadrunner, all AI, all with bad spelling, and all different from each other.
And then there was the one you posted, making a total of three right off the bat. Then I found a FOURTH one, with still different design and total gibberish on the front and back, but it was a post by someone saying this is AI BS, don't fall for it. Someone has been playing with their new AI program and it's not working very well.
If it WAS a real car, man I'd start saving my pennies and dimes right now to buy one.

I'll probably get bricks thrown at me for this, but I never liked the three stooges. Way too high on the stupidometer for me. They're on right before Svengoolie on Saturday nights, and I have to wait until EXACTLY 7:00 before I change the channel to watch Svengoolie or I might see them. (OK, start throwing whatever you've got!)
Those Halloween masks, though. Remember the SMELL? I couldn't keep one on the whole time out Trick or Treating. I had to flip it up on my head to get fresh air between houses.

I'll admit it's a guy thing...
Precisely, the few times my parents would spring for one of those reminded me why I didn't like them.
I didn't even think of AI when I watched it, I just got excited seeing the roadrunner. Should have known it was too good to be true. How sad.Wow. I wish I could believe it was real. The ad is all AI, narrated by AI (recognize the voice from the cheap viagra commercial?). At 32 seconds, look at the front "plate."

Car manufacturers should pay attention of the good designs of AI and start producing them. I think, they would probably make a killing off of the old and new styles of vehicles.
I think there are enough of us out there to buy an "old style" muscle car, it would be worth their while. A few have tried, but haven't quite succeeded. And that green "Roadrunner" looks an awful lot like a futuristic Mustang to me, doesn't it to you?
I did find another one later, after I posted (I was curious to see if there really was a REAL one in the works somewhere), and it actually looked like an old '70 Roadrunner. Not exactly, but you could tell that was what they were going for. It looked very much like this one, which is an original, and can be yours for less than $15,000! Boy, that's kinda tempting, isn't it? Sure it might break down, but at least you could WORK on those. The engines were right there under the hood, LOL!
musclecarsweekly.com/listing/1970-plymouth-road-runner-383-engine/?utm_source=Lifull-connect&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=maximize-conversions
But I never found anything to suggest any of them are real, or might be in the near future. Some peckerheads are just playin' with us.
Edit to correct the year... I put '68 but that was a different one I was looking at - the one in the link is a 1970. I wish I had $15,000!

In my younger days I owned one of these, don't laugh, it was a really useful little vehicle.
I got mine on an owed debt for a job I did and the guy didn't have the money.
By using this jewel I saved a lot of miles wear and gas, the F250 was a gas hog and for smaller loads this was perfect, wish I still had one.
It always ran perfect and was completely trouble free.

AMC Gremlin. I had a 1961 Corvair Station Wagon. Hauled a bunch of stuff in that as well.In my younger days I owned one of these, don't laugh, it was a really useful little vehicle.

YupWho chewed these?
I remember back when calling for customer service for anything meant talking to a human. They replaced that with a computer "call center" that told you to press numbers til you could no longer read the numbers on your phone.
Now, restaurants are using AI to take your order when you go through drive through. That's one less human to talk to. Great if you hate people. Lousy if you prefer to interact with someone who has an actual brain.
Where is John Connor when you need a hero?

Who remembers
LOL! I even remember the theme music!
My brother and I had these one Christmas, we had disc's all over the house
Lucky one of us didn't put an eye out
Wow, I remember seeing those little plastic discs, but I don't remember anyone shooting them out of a phaser. Maybe whoever it was, their mom took the phaser away and left the disks. I don't know if it was at my house or a friend's house, even, but I vividly remember those colored disks.
and then i send my bill for 20bucks.
ime nearly old enough to remember trees!
heres a funny one jimmi...apart from reading about the 2 nd world war, what dont germans like? answer? their gas bill!
another one jimmi . a black priest and a white priest argued about if god was black or white. they knelt down and prayed then the white priest looked up and said .."god are you black or white" there was a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder and a voice said" i am what i am"
white priest said to black one , " see i told you he was white,if he was black he would have said.." i is what i is"
Who remembers
Boy, you got me there. I've never even SEEN such a gadget before. It looks like some kind of multi-tool... What the heck is it?
It's a pocket fisherman of the early 70's
I can even remember the commercial of a guy in a suit leavin his business meeting and goin fishin with one of these
