OK, I saw that but thought there must be more to it--something related to the "Dowright Diesels" imbedded in the windshield?

Yes, the seat is still too far forward, but he is not reaching for the seat release, he's staring at the GPS.

Highest recorded speed? Interesting/disturbing track and waypoints? LOTS of miles added?

Overthinking.

The "Dowright Diesels" is a watermark for the photo.

The seat is all the way forward, that's the bit.

That's all there is.

What about the "First Chrysler Self Driving Car"??
I don't get that at all.

A Plymouth Fury, a Stephen King book and then adapted movie had a Fury like the one pictured which was possessed and drove itself to reign mayhem.

With some Bondo and paint, they'd look righteous!

I enjoy checking on the political meme thread every few weeks. A nice lift. Better than buying a new pair of sneakers, even.

It looks like it's from Harry Potter. Since the characters look like Ozzy and Lennon, the caption is meant to be funny.

Other than the obvious (people from Portland are weird), I got nothing.

Is there more to it?

Maybe we're misunderstanding you. Are you saying you don't recognize the scene as being from Star Trek?

Hippies in space: A “Star Trek” episode in 1960s historical context.
I like Star Trek. I always have. The movies and spinoffs like Next Generation are fine, but there’s something pure and classic about the old 1960s series which has always been my favorite. I own the complete archives of the old series on DVD. Not long ago I re-watched one of my favorite episodes, which is called “The Way to Eden.” Many Star Trek fans would be surprised to hear that this is one of my favorites, as it’s one of the least-liked and most-derided of the old series; coming late in the third season, when the production quality of the show was declining, “The Way to Eden” has a pretty limp script, phone-it-in acting and hilariously ludicrous costumes. For a series that came up with such groundbreaking stuff like “Amok Time” or “The City on the Edge of Forever,” “The Way to Eden” simply doesn’t measure up. Yet I still love it as one of my favorites, because it, more than most other Star Trek episodes, has some very interesting things to say about the time in which it was made.

“The Way to Eden” concerns a small group of space travelers who have stolen a spaceship and, as the episode opens, are being pursued by the Federation starship Enterprise. As their ship blows up (its engines were failing) Captain Kirk orders the six passengers beamed aboard. They turn out to be a bizarre group of what can only be described as space hippies, led by an alien with outrageous latex ears, Dr. Severin (Skip Homeier). Dr. Severin tells Kirk and Spock that he and his group are searching the galaxy for a planet called Eden, believed by most to be mythical, where the group–who has rejected the values of Federation society–will live in an idyllic paradise among “savages,” presumably Eden’s primitive indigines. Unfortunately Severin is a carrier of an incurable disease, and Kirk refuses to help them. The hippies won’t take no for an answer, however, and hijack the Enterprise to bring it to Eden. When they find it, stealing a shuttlecraft to land on it, they discover a beautiful but dangerous world where all the vegetation is filled with deadly acid. Even knowing this, Severin, who is insane, chomps an apple and falls dead. The others ultimately leave with the Enterprise crew.
