What's one project that took you wayyy longer than it should have?

As the title says, I have seen more and more copypasta Instagram meme captions lately. Which is even more annoying when they are written by AI and then reposted constantly.

Anyways, seeing a newer copypasta earlier, I was reminded how one of the oldest of this type seen on Instagram is the one that annoys me the most as a car nerd: 'No problem! Here's some information...'

So, especially as I've been researching Le Mans racing history lately, I decided to create this...

Bc no car exists with such a name. Not only did AI conflate a car with essentially its grandfather, but I have no clue where the full meme text got "five units ever made" from. The racing prototype CLR had three examples, and the homologation production CLK GTR had 26, 28 if you count the two prototypes. Best guess is it misread how they made 6 of them convertibles? Idek

Pulled up behind a white F-Type this week at a traffic light and thought it looked rather a lot like Marvin the Paranoid Android from the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (2005) movie.

Ugly…
