What’s not shown is that the car doesn’t have an engine. Management was really eager to release it to the customer. Don’t worry, it’s planned to get fixed later (spoiler: it’s never going to get fixed).
We delivered the car to spec. We have a hamster on a spinning wheel in the engine block now. You can upgrade the engine as part of our enhancement package, which costs an order of magnitude more money for a linear scale in performance.
I'd like to think that hamster wheel to V12 isn't on a linear scale in terms of step-wise upgrades, but you're right that there's no guarantee that they wont just swap in a larger hamster.
I can't wait for hamster wheel version 12! So much more range than v1
At some point going as far as trying to genetically engineer an even larger hamster instead of just changing the design so that it could use multiple smaller but parallel hamsters
they could invest in hamster-breeder reactor engine, which with enough money injection could create an endless supply of hamsters on wheels competing only for space and attention
In fact, maybe we should run offices like that. Just breed developers in a closed system
No no of course not, please feel free to try our new "12 hamsters chained together" package
