You may've moved on from the Fiero, but I see you've stuck with a mid-engine design.

Some people are more easily entertained than other I suppose, but when man has little or nothing left to do because CGI, AI and computer driven automation has taken over what man used to do, man will do what he has always done, if only because it's the only thing left. He'll make war and it won't be cgi, it will be what it's always been, real bombs, real blood and real bullets. |

I look at it from this perspective. There are those (and I'm not criticizing anyone here) that are mostly only infatuated with how AI can entertain them... and to be sure, that's coming. We're not far off from the movie Cherry 2000 (or 3000? I can't remember). But generally speaking, AI can help automate what humans already can do well, manually. It cannot do things that humans are unable to do (which people don't fully understand). It has the capacity for taking LEARNED HUMAN SKILLS, and applying it at scale. That is the best way that I can address the concept of AI. To a degree, it can also automate human learning, through concepts like reinforcement learning.
What "I" personally hope will come about AI, is that it will in many cases, expedite technology in the form of space travel, navigation, and science/engineering validation.
In the meantime... this other stuff pays the bills and keeps the technology development going.

I actually really like this car. It reminds me a lot of the Dodge Daytona from the 80s...

Princess Leia with more hoot, yep, works for me.
That scene in the interrogation cell, Darth Vader and the torture drone, a damsel in distress, 38D cups, yep !
The camera pans away from the cell door, the audience left to their imaginations, ' What ever will become of the Princess ? '
' What will Darth Vader do to the Princess ? '
' Who will save the Princess ? '
' I'll do it ! I'll save the Princess ! ' ~ Every teen boy in the audience, and the older boys too, men.
' Squeeze me Luke ! '
' Kid, that's your sister ! '
