The General Lee. No contest.

The obvious choice for many is one of the Ferraris. Yes they are expensive and fast but finicky and unreliable.

The General Lee is a Mopar (Dodge) muscle car from the peak of American muscle production. It is wicked fast due to the legendary 426 Hemi engine with its unique head design and spark plug location which provides higher compression (power) and burns fuel more efficiently than other designs. NHRA drag racing top categories (top fuel dragsters and funny cars) were dominated by Hemi engines for decades after and they are still pervasive today.

The General is also way more reliable and robust than any Ferrari. Its doors are welded shut and it’s got a roll cage for safety. The thing would take way more miles and punishment.

Other choices eliminated:

Delorean - unreliable and slow. Especially if time travel is desired, I’d want something that starts every time and a Delorean ain’t it. Put the flux capacitor into The General instead.

Knight Rider - hideous car. For a General Motors F-body from that era, give me an IROC-Z Camaro every day of the week. Also slow

Killdozer - tempting. rugged but The General is also rugged and much faster and more versatile

James Bond - also tempting. I’m a fan of the franchise and the Aston Martin with ejector seat but this car is the beta and The General is clearly the alpha… stronger, faster, and sturdier

Mad Max - Sorry but The General is ready for the post apocalyptic world already. And it doesn’t have some ludicrous super charger that can be switched on and off. Seriously, Max, how is your engine running without the blower belt turning? That doesn’t exist. It’s not a thing.

Ghostbusters and A-team - both are great for hauling 6 but are slow. Plus the back seat in The General is so big it fits 3-4 people.

Nostr needs self recovery key model like bluesky/AT protocol. Current solution to nsec compromise is to burn down and rebuild your network.

This could be solved with self recovery key approach or with Web-of-Trust voting on the new correct npub, I think.

But what do I know? I am humble enough to know that I could be wrong.

I had to go buy one like this at the thrift store awhile ago when the first two newly manufactured alarm clocks I got COULD NOT KEEP TIME!

They lost or gained several minutes every day. They had Bluetooth and other features (I didn’t want) and looked good but couldn’t perform the core value function of the device.

The one like this is a cesium clock by comparison.
