In Reply to: maybe a small trunk-mounted nuclear reactor posted by lk on October 15, 2000 at 23:29:24:

Delivered with the same black humor found in Total Recall and Robocop - you're in your car listening to the news and traffic report..." We're seeing multiple mushroom clouds sprouting up all over the City today as numerous BMWs are going critical, spokeperson for BMWNA confirmed this to be a design flaw with it's Model T49 PCR (Personal Conveyance Reactor). Sources say this model is plagued by defective welds in it's pressure vessel assemblies as well as it's control rod throttle linkage. When extended too far out of the reactor core the linkage jams causing the control rods to stay permanently extended out from the core. The reactor will then enter a race condition, causing a meltdown. The NRC has teams on the scene to contain the contamination. BMWNA will now offer as standard, it's new SCRAM system (previously available as an option) on all new models. A rebate for the retrofit is in effect for all previous models. Now onto Sports..."

Okay, okay, maybe it wasn't that funny. :)
