Can we also appreciate how the B-17 segment in this film directly inspired the creators of Call of Duty Zombies?

I was thinking about Twitter the other day. Even in its prime (2014-2016 imo), a lot of the experience was textually jousting, dunking on the uninformed, and being a dick for clicks. It was toxic.

The Dodge Slingshot
A Smart Roadster for the USDM that never was.
I was thinking about how this could work as a modern car. I propose the Fiata's cousin - An ND MX5 with a HO Hurricane I6 crammed under the hood, plus some hints of Viper styling.

I won an auction lot to get one item I wanted and sold everything else on Marketplace.
Turns out I could’ve tripled my money on two of the items I sold, but I didn’t know what they were.
Oops.
