I, personally, am still holding out for a future filled with Segways :P

Goddamn Segways. They recently opened a shop at the hotel by the beach/harbor where tourists can rent segways. A secret spot with mostly families and some business-pleasure folk has suddenly transformed into a shitstorm of shoobies in cargo shorts. You can't skate, drive, or bike around the area without almost hitting an out-of-control segway.

I guess I'm not such a believer in Elon Musk. The dude recently bragged in a tweet about how Teslas Model S got a 5.4 star safety rating. Musk claimed this was the highest rating ever by the NHSTA.

The NHSTA replied. "The public should know that the NHSTA does not rate cars beyond 5 stars, and does not rank or order cars in the star rating system.

Elon Musk is, in some ways, a modern P.T. Barnum.
