Hmm. Yeah, I hope to finish this story before I die, so the update rate might pick up once I retire, probably in less than 40 years...
Yup, playing Duke Nukem Forever. I guess it finally got released in 2040, too bad he's only got one day to play it. (No, I didn't put it there to make some lame joke. My story isn't supposed to be funny. I just needed something a nerd might do in 2040...)
I originally thought the body of the car should be shaped like an inverted wing. Today's fast cars drive with minimal ground clearance, presumably in order to minimize air pressure below the car and keep it stable. But I think future advances in car design will allow the car to be shaped in a way that causes an aerodynamic downward thrust (like airplanes generate upward thrust), so that a car can run stable and have plenty of traction even at very high speeds and lots of ground clearance. However, in the end, I compromised on the idea and made the car at least be recognizable as a car...
