'DAD, why can't we have a car that nobody else has – like the Mad Max car?'

Can't believe the numpties in the comments going "Ooooh, it can't be the original because it got totalled, it's just some modern knockoff, you're all idiots". I mean talk about killjoys...

One of the car companies was talking about electric powered superchargers as a possible way of making engines more efficient and hence "green". If Mad Max is green, count me in
