Vin ~~Diesel~~ Electric
- I sometimes wonder how today's media is going to be seen in 10-20 years, when EVs are much faster and cheaper than gas cars so they've completely taken over.
  
  "Mommy, why do the cars on TV all make fart sounds?"
  
  Electric cars are an attempt to save the automotive industry, not the planet. Demand public mass transportation and walkable cities instead.
  
  Electric cars will still be making fart sounds in 10-20 years. They already sell cars that generate artificial engine noise and play it through speakers.
Fast and Furious on bicycles and suddenly shifting through 21 gears isn't unrealistic anymore.
- I'd actually watch a movie with a high-speed bicycle chase, provided the whole thing was played completely straight.
  
  A downhill mountainbike chase through a dense city would go hard

2 Packed 2 Courteous
Just imagine a F&F movie based one European gas prices.
I live my life one stop at a time. For that few minutes at a time, I'm free.
They'd be on mopeds, escooters or ebikes rather than the bus surely.
I believe tgs movie was called "speed"
- The bus that couldn't slow down
  
  A double-feature of Billy and the Cloneasaurus and The Bus that Couldn't Slow Down could've been the Barbieheimer of the 1990s.
- Is that like Speed 2, only with a bus instead of a boat?
Oil prices peaked in summer 2008 at around $150/barrel. Gas cost around $4/gal average nationwide. Prices are lower now in both nominal and inflation adjusted terms than they were 15 years ago.
