Old looking shit with modern interior should actually happen
Because or thanks to you we watch the First film this evening
It works fine for a while, but eventually it Goes Bananas.
Oh god! Herbie! I thought you were all forgotten!
A Volkswagen with a mind of its own!
It can lie about it’s own emissions levels!
Its the stig
groan there’s STIGs for cars now?
(STIG: Secure Technical Implementation Guide)
No, it’s Ocho!
The number of people who will get the reference can be counted on one hand, probably.
Loved all those movies when I was a kid. 5+3=8…I’ll call you Ocho! (This memory is decades old and is probably not 100% accurate)
Good movie, solid 10/10
Fuck, I don’t wanna marry! I just wanna fuck around. I’m already married, what, who’s this thing wanting to marry this time?
Yeah more trustworthy, until it’s mating season.
Maybe this one is better, has great security features I’ve heard
I don’t think I need to say much else here.
I got a GPS that speaks with KITT’s voice, and my name is the same as the character’s (along with about half the male population lol)
However, this probably does.
Calling KITT self driving is like calling a modern smartphone a phone. It’s a super computer AI on wheels, where Herby was just cursed
KITT is self driving in the same way that people are self walking.
Don’t trust it, it got Lindsay Lohan on drugs!
Nah, you’re thinking of the 2005 model year. This 1969 model is perfect.
What kind of kit does it come with? I like mine Fully Loaded.
No, KITT was a Pontiac.
When they announce a self driving Plymouth Fury, I’m out.
Why? At least that one can heal itself.
I feel like not many people under the age of 30 will get this. I think I may have even forgotten to force my own kids to watch it.
I’m over 30 and was only vaguely aware of it because it was mentioned once in a youtube video.
I’m in my early 20s and I have this super vague memory of a beetle car being sentient. The only scene I remember is it spraying oil cus it didn’t like someone or something like that
Am I thinking of the right movie
Drag saw Herbie and didn’t like it. Brum has much more character.
I want a K.I.T.T. car from the knight rider show.
It is shipped with a fullsize lifeguard from Baywatch if you need one.
Alright, if it’s been looking for Freedom for so long, I’ll be happy to take him.
🎶 the love bug is a little old car that we can ride together 🎵
NGL if VW made modernized versions of their classic cars (ie: newer interior, classic looking exterior, maybe w/o all the stainless steel) I would be all over it
Mexico still makes the classic beetle. Not sure about the minibus. I see a lot of them, but those may be actual antiques.
They stopped making the original in 2003 and all models in 2019.
To borrow Jeremy Clarkson’s joke - VAG do still also make the Porsche 911!
This threw me off for a hot minute. I used to know a guy who went by the nickname “Vag” (with a hard “g”), so when I read this, I thought to myself, “Vag! I wonder how Vag is doing?” But you’re talking about VAG, not Vag. Now I’m just trying to cram as much vag as I can into this paragraph. So much vag. Vag vag vag. Thank you.
It’d likely be yet another instance of spyware on wheels, tho
“Their” with huge quotation marks
That looks more like the first SAAB to me than a VW.
There od a modern beetle.
They said “classic looking exterior” which the new beetle doesn’t have. But problem is, you can’t really have that, largely due to safety regulations, etc.
I thought it looks similar, but yeah, it’s not direct copy. Still, I really like the look of new beetle.
I’ll buy a Herbie all day long!!!
