So I have Grok on my Tesla and you can have a conversation with it as you drive...asking it anything. For instance I'm going to Europe in a few days and it can tell you things like where you should buy museum tickets, how to use the subway, what's the latest pickpocketing scam on tourists, etc.
 
20 Minute Workout is a Canadian-produced aerobics-based television program that ran from 1983 to 1984, in which "a bevy of beautiful girls" demonstrated exercise[1] on a rotating platform. It was created by Ron Harris in 1983, based on his cable TV series Aerobicise.

Ginsu (/ˈɡɪnsuː/; pseudoword meant to evoke the idea of samurai heritage)[1] is a brand of direct marketed knives. The brand is owned by the Douglas Quikut Division of Scott Fetzer, a Berkshire Hathaway Company. The brand was heavily promoted in the late 1970s and 1980s on U.S. television by using infomercials characterized by hawker and hard sell pitch techniques. The commercials generated sales of between two and three million Ginsu sets between 1978 and 1984

I've had the same plate since 1994. I think i cleared a bunch off ONCE.
Now i need to go out with some glue. Geez thanks for the work @Davey Crockett

Speaking of 1994, this is me in 1994 or maybe 1995 during my college student years in America. Was so proud of my 1984 Nissan 200 SX purchased in 1994. You know, the 80s had the 'Knight Rider' series, which we used to watch in Pakistan, and which had that Super Car which was talking, fighting, rescuing and so did my Nissan but only talking! Hahah! Was so proud of my car with the headlights retracting, the talking car, the cassette player, the MPG estimates on the dashboard. I think I bought for $2000 or $3000 and it had about 100,000 miles on the car then. The lady who sold was a hot chick in her late 30s working at a bank in a nearby city; I think her charm made me not ask too many questions about the car. Haha!

I drove and drove that car until one day the timing belt broke and after then, even after the repairs, the car would shake badly as if it was panting! In late 90s, I briefly moved to another state in America and gave away the car as gift to a fellow poor friend. The car was still running then. But he took it to some junkyard and sold it. I was sooooo disappointed when I heard that. My darling car!! My first and only love in vehicles! Hahaha!Me_1994.png
 
(For those outside "the know") You have to be on the ball and put the year sticker on your license plate or that is going to happen.

I had mine towed away for that once. Infact my current one is peeling off because it is stuck over like 15 others.
LOL!

Remember a coworker in Tennessee driving around with expired plates on his car from Hawaii.

oh I know all about that...

That 1994 license plate of mine was on a new 1994 "Kitt inspired me" Pontiac Firebird.
It wasn't black though...it was dark red.

Looked 99% like this pic...except mine had the 17inch 5 spoke SLP Firehawk chrome rims with wide 275 Dunlop SP Sport 4000's all around. Those rims/tires made the car really pop!

Similar to this but the spokes were much thicker. So you weren't seeing tons of the disc brakes (which I simply can't stand).

More like this thickness but chromed very very nicely...you could see your face in it.

I had a blast driving this car...since I pre-ordered it completely unseen from just a sketch I saw in a magazine and thus was one of the first people in my area to get one. When it arrived the dealer called me to pick it up quick because customers were demanding a ride as mine was the only one on the lot and Pontiac hadn't shipped non-ordered ones to dealers yet. :ROFLMAO:

I coughed my drink when I saw this pic. Oh baby!! Yes sir I'll take one!

It turned heads that's for sure. My friends said they thought I was going to buy a car not a spaceship. I'm sure rides in it helped me snag my wife.


Ah memories!

So I sold my '94 but @GoMig-21 still has his red ~2003 "Kitt inspired me" Firebird.

But with Grok available in all Teslas...my car actually talks. You can have long complicated conversations about anything...just like in the TV show. It's crazy. They need to license the Kitt voice.

Nazis Now Have Registered An Official Lobbyist On Capitol Hill​


Tennessee

One morning the head of HR came into town and had a talk with me. Told me I had to remove my Confederate bumper sticker with the words, Never Apologize For Being White. Half the guys had Confederate Plates on their vehicles. What was offensive was not the Stars and Bars, it was the words Never Apologize For Being White.

Ok, no problem.

Called up my friend Taylor and asked him for a bumper sticker, "Taylor Bowles for President" with a large swastika.

Nothing HR could do. Free speech.

Coworkers laughed their ass off. They loved it!

Started calling my van the SS Enterprise, and greet me with a Roman Salute when I came into work every morning.

About the same time my landlord paid a visit. Told me my meter reader was terrified coming up to my house because I had a Confederate flag out front. My luck, the only black meter reader in the county.

Again, ok, no problem.

Switched it out for this flag....

LOL, power company reassigned the black meter reader.

The flag at my home in Oklahoma.

My block is the safest in town.

People slow down and wave at me all day long.

Tweakers now avoid my street.
 
That reminds me....

Back in the early 1990s, friends of mine rented a house in Los Angeles. Nazi flag out front.

South of them was a black gang. North of them, Mexican gang.

They had fun spreading rumors during the week to each gang the other was going to attack the other.

Friday nights they sat on the front porch drinking beer, enjoying the tense atmosphere in the neighborhood.

James ended up in jail for a spell. He beat up the Los Angeles assistant DA at a bus stop, just for the hell of it.

Spent his time teaching the blacks in jail about Malcolm X.

One night he was woke up and moved to safety. The Mexican gang bangers were about to attack the few Whites in lock up.
