The onboard droid seemed to think something went wrong.

SR-71 Blackbird's canopy temperature got to over 300c at supersonic. That's air friction at high altitude. What the hell are those wheels made of?

...and bearings.

The wheels are probably solid titanium, or at least that's what Noble's new record car 'Bloodhound SSC' is going to have.

To be fair, the Blackbird was going quite a bit quite faster than just supersonic.

And for a lot longer.

True, I think the Blackbird's top speed was about Mach 3.5. Still, the thought of any sort of mechanical resistance at Mach anything is mind buggly.

They were solid metal as well, I don't know which kind though.

I think all speed record vehicles probably have metal wheels. Rubber just wears out too quickly at high speed.

Dildos would be my guess.

The tires I mean, the tires are made of dildos.

That's your answer for every question, though.

It's your answer even when there isn't any question at all.

The car is cool and all, but comment mishaps like this are what I'm here for.

It's a very loose definition of a "car".
