There’s all kinds of theories floating around now that reality, the place where you sleep and pee and buy lunch, may in fact be a simulation of some sort, run on some vast, unknowable computer. Even I normally am pretty dismissive of this idea, at least until I saw . Uh, that does sound a lot like a glitch in the reality-sim.

Now, to be fair, we’re not 100 percent certain of the whole Hardbody/Sentra/Hardbody/Sentra pattern; the pictures clearly show a teal Nissan Hardbody hitting a maroon Nissan Sentra which then hits another teal Nissan Hardbody, but pictures of the final maroon Sentra don’t seem to be in the post, even though the original poster, and others who have posted these images, claim the car was there.

We did some digging, and according to , it looks like this wreck was just a teal Hardbody bread/maroon Sentra meat sandwich:

Let’s be clear, though, even just this grouping of two teal Hardbodies sandwiching one Sentra is pretty damn improbable. How many of these Nissan Hardbodies are still on the road? And two teal ones? Sandwiching another Nissan of roughly the same era?

This could still easily be a world-simulation glitch. Easy.

As far as what the front teal Hardbody hit, it’s not clear from any of the photos, but I think there’s a clue here:

Could that floral-shaped dent in the hood have been caused by an impact against a rear-mounted spare tire?

Maybe.

All we do know is that somehow, chance has served us up a teal Nissan Hardbody and maroon Nissan Sentra wreckwich, and the odds of that happening again are infinitesimal.

Sure, it would be cool if there was that one extra maroon Sentra at the front to make a true repeating pattern, but, well, I guess the simulation still has some error-checking in place.

Comment of the Day: Automation Is Wage Reduction
Automation gets glorified in some circles and vilified in others, but really it’s just another management move like all the others. Which is why Jack Shaftoe’s comment on needs to be highlighted: Automation is good, automation is bad, automation is coming, so we might as well have a universal...

Volkswagen Continues to Test Inexplicable and Joyous T-Roc Convertible
Volkswagen Continues to Test Inexplicable and Joyous T-Roc Convertible
I have checked our archives and was astounded to find by our very own Justin Westbrook that seemed to infer that the very idea of a Cabriolet was ludicrous. It’s not very often that I disagree with my colleagues (), but this is one of those times where I...

The (Mostly) Non-Beetle Cars of the Streets of Puebla, the VW Beetle's Final Home
I was just down in Puebla, Mexico, visiting the Volkswagen factory there (I’ll explain that more soon), and while there I found some time to explore and be your eyes, ears, and, if no one is looking, tongue, to experience the cars on the streets of Puebla. Last time,...

It’s fun to sometimes imagine yourself in someone else’s shoes. Sometimes you just want to pretend to be, I don’t know, a nice guy who brought home a free Jeep Grand Wagoneer. And maybe you have it because you just love Jeeps so much. Like so, so much. In...
