Ian Fleming’s James Bond is famous not just for his skills in taking down baddies or his impeccable taste in suits or drinks, but for his gadgets. The Q Branch gives Bond all sorts of toys to play with, be it a watch with a laser cutter, an explosive pen, an RPG-firing boombox, or a hookah pipe that doubles as a machine gun. Bond gets to play with tricked-out cars too, including an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish with all sorts of guns, adaptive camouflage, thermal imaging, retractable tire spikes, and the famous ejector seat.
Jason, who has been sending cheery messages from a hospital bed, wrote a Cold Start where he envisioned a low-rent, Wish.com version of James Bond. The poor guy isn’t driving Britain’s best, and as it turns out, the Q Branch even forgot to install the pop-off roof panel required for the ejector seat to, you know, eject. Oh dear.
Our readers imagined even worse nightmares for Bond, James Bond. From Minivanlife:
I’d watch that. But to make it more contemporary, I think (fake) Bond would need to first navigate through 5 levels of menu on a touch screen to find the ejector function.
And Mechjaz:
Home -> Driving -> Driving settings -> Customize -> Choose your gear ->
– Machine gun
– Caltrops
– Ejector seat
– PRNDL
And NewBalanceExtraWide:
And when selecting ejector seat, a popup would explain that the subscription to this feature has ended. Would you like to renew your subscription with a new bank card?
Poor discount James Bond (Jimmy Bond?) is going to have a bad time.
For years, the Prius was dragged by the media, but the car didn’t really deserve it. If anything, the Prius was ahead of its time, but so many people didn’t see it back then. David has called for enthusiasts to apologize to the much-maligned machine, and I’m on board. I’ve always loved the unloved myself, so I was one of those people teased for liking cars that weren’t typical enthusiast fare. My high school classmates were ruthless when I told them about the cars I liked, but none of those people are laughing now. I bought my dream cars, enjoy a dreamy career, and more. Totally not a robot sees the Prius as having experienced a similar journey:
The Prius is the nerd that everyone made fun of in school. But now it’s a 30-year-old retiree because it developed an app instead of partying and it just sold that app for a billion dollars.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
