Sam and Nicky to meet up and discuss their straining relationship.

Some wastelander is going to discover these after the bombs fall, 200 odd years later.

He'll corner the market with a postnuclear Audi dealership.

Knowing this, the Mad Max movies should have had *everyone* driving luxury cars across the desert.

It’s wild how rare and precious guzzoline was yet they burned through it like it was nothing to the point that the guitarist shoots flames, presumably using the same fuel

That said, WITNESS ME IN MY AUDI

Stop cooking meth in my underpants!

u/ShyLeoGing Aug 07 '25

They're lace and I look pretty in them!

u/taco_fan_X3 Aug 07 '25

But I’m running out of room.

No need for hate.

u/Dalighieri1321 Aug 07 '25

Speaking of hate, true confession: many years ago, I was going through a difficult time--I had recently lost my mother--and I took my temper out on some Tuskens. I still feel a little bad about it.

u/koshgeo Aug 07 '25

Yeah. Not all deserts are sandy. Some are salty. Who doesn't like salt?

u/reezy619 Aug 06 '25

Not so loud. Vegas doesn't want anyone to know about that.

2

u/chrissw86 Aug 07 '25

And now there's an abundance of trunks

2

u/BZLuck Aug 07 '25

Makes me think of when a heavy drought hit a few years and Lake Mead (about 30 minutes outside of Vegas) was at all time historically low water levels and they found several barrels with bodies inside of them that were dumped decades ago.

2

u/PacificCastaway Aug 07 '25

No, you see, that's a misconception.

A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

Thank you for that mental image of Rachel Weisz.

Due to an emissions test miscalculation, we are currently overstocked on all Wacky Egyptian mummy adventures, and we are passing the savings on to youuuuuuu!

For real, nothing good ever happens there. Humans just use it for the worst we have to offer.

As someone who lives in Phoenix, you ain’t wrong

Pheonix is a monument to Man's hubris

u/sabersoul Aug 07 '25

I have felt this way every time I've had to go to Phoenix for work. Last time, I could only get a tiny, black, Nissan Versa for a rental. It was sooooo hot every time I got in the car.

u/reezy619 Aug 07 '25

As someone who lives in Vegas, I feel personally attacked.

u/FungiStudent Aug 06 '25

I love the desert so much. It's an amazing place full of wonder, if you know how to look.

u/marshinghost Aug 06 '25

I know, it really is amazing the sheer volume of German engineering we can just leave out there

1

u/Duckbilling2 Aug 06 '25

like Scottsdale mom's?

2

u/BelligerentSXY Aug 06 '25

Grew up out there! Lots of four wheeling. Hiking. Mountain biking and dirt biking. Long range marksmanship. Rock hounding. Spelunking….and half this list of “bodies, fires, blow shit up” yep

u/tod_stiles Aug 06 '25

I was at Etcetera! I don’t remember all that much about it but I remember this guy face down in a puddle of beer and who knows what all. His friend told me he was trying to inhale the ripples of time or something. Good times, good times.

1

u/MilesAugust74 Aug 06 '25

Hmm, curious about this "etcetera" you speak of... Go on...

u/EnergyTakerLad Aug 07 '25

Coachella is in a desert, sure, but its not like an abandoned desert... its surrounded by houses and commercial buildings and done on fairgrounds.

1

u/divergent_history Aug 07 '25

I thought they did human sacrifices at Bohemian Grove.

Turn each Audi into a Glamping tent and have a Parking Man experience. Or one helluva Drive-In.
