Darth Vader’s Sports Car?

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

 

Imagine Darth having a mid-life crisis, putting on a few pounds around the middle and losing his hyperdrive, so to speak? Seen recently at England’s Farnborough Air Show, this is Boeing’s X45C Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle.

Mr. Vader's weekend ride?

The Mensch saw the X45C and immediately thought “This is what Darth Vader’s Mazda Miata or Porsche Boxster would look like.”

His weekend ride. Say that Darth and the lovely Mrs. Vader are cruising out to brunch on say, Tatooine. They wouldn’t take a Death Star, too hard to park, too ostentatious, no fun to drive and really bad fuel economy. The X45C would be the ticket.

Paint this baby black and we can see it in Darth’s garage with no problem. I wonder if it comes with heated, orthopedic seats?

This flight of fancy is not aimed at Star Wars fans, but if it hits a few, OK. Drop us a note and tell the Mensch what you think Darth drives on the weekends.

    I hear it on good authority that he drives a Bentley in a lovely cream color. He needs a lot of headroom and big back seat for his cockapoos.

      Liz is not just ANY page turner. Liz is the Heifetz, the Pavarotti, the veritable Yo-Yo Ma of page turners. She is the kind of page turned who, if I was completely fumbling a difficult passage, would suddenly have an uncontrollable puking fit so as to draw attention away from my screwup. She also knows exactly how many pieces of sushi you might need at intermission. At least that’s my experience; your mileage may vary One last bit of clothing advice for page turners: No dangly loose jackets. I once played a whole violin recital with silk caressing my left cheek at every turn. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it, but it was kind of distracting.
