A man is sitting in the front of a car drawing on to a tablet computer, whatever he is drawing is being reflected on the outside of the car making a cool pattern on the car, another man is standing near the car looking at it and gasping in delight.

PageRide

13th December 2025

The sudden hole that Zargoid 5 had fallen / danced into was clearly very deep as ASJIOFJNOSDNFNDSUNDS ONGFONKJGNKBUYWENJNCINSIUNDXW and I had still not reached the bottom of it in our drills. Driving a drill is an especially uncomfortable experience and quite physically demanding… well it would be for you but as you know I use FitLadder and FitTape so it really isn’t much of a problem on the fitness side. That’s one of my many advantages over you.

However, there is one area in which I have a disadvantage and that is comfort and style. Now this is highly unusual, as I am generally much more comfortable and stylish than you. But that is the problem. While drilling down to rescue Zargoid 5 I was in the same kind of drab yellow drill as anyone can buy (for millions of dollars). Whereas, when I usually drive around on the surface, I do so in my PageRide.

You probably haven’t heard about PageRide but you might have seen one. PageRide is my fully electric and autonomous driving car. Some people would use their time in an autonomous car to sit lazily in the back doing nothing but staring out of the window but not me… not in PageRide.

In PageRide there is a giant tablet computer in the front with a stylus which allows you to spend your time redesigning the outside look of the car in real time. The outer shell, like a digital page of paper, refreshes itself showing your new design to everyone driving past.

Now I will admit there is one major drawback which is that if you are going over speedbumps while drawing a particularly intricate part of the design it can end up making the car look a little messy. On the other hand you can write rude messages to other drivers… which has also resulted in some major drawbacks. I wouldn’t recommend this (often).

The PageRide is super easy to drive (because you don’t have to), it is super good for the environment (it is powered by its own Fission Reactor), and it allows you to make the outside of your car suit your mood (which I’m sure is going to be generally better once you have a PageRide), so why don’t you already have one?

Note to self: You might want to use the waterproof paper from the NoteMop in the next version, I just took the PageRide through the carwash… what a mistake.
