Unless you've been vactioning on an asteroid lately, you can't fail to have noticed the launch of the new Mamba. Sleek, fast, stylish and apparently... inaccurate. So while it may well be dressed to kill, it's also likely to have some difficulty in living up to that image.
There's been plenty of talk that Griff Industries had rushed the release of their otherwise highly impressive latest creation. In fact there was even a supposed leak that blamed the lack of proper quality checks on the company president's love for a traditionally cooked vegetable dish!
The head of Griff Industries is alleged to be quite the fan of the 'poetaytoe', the organic that's fast becoming the luxury item of choice for the ludicrously wealthy. Rumour has it, he was absent during the relevant targetting alignment checks due to his appreciation of the fabled vegetable which, according to some, "tastes like heaven but looks like hell".
Attempts to synthesise them for mass consumption have so far been disappointing but this seems unlikely to be the case for the Mamba. Laser askew or not, the new Mamba already has a long line of hungry admirers. But unless you're aiming at a python, maybe move that trigger finger a little closer to the injectors than usual.
