Why, don’t you like your car?

Well, I have a 1920’s style “Death Ray” that can burn your car.

Oh the car’s fine. I was just curious how powerful this thing is.

If it could destroy an artillary shell, I would imagine that it could do some serious damage to your car.

Nautilis is the old name for the Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL). These pictures of what THEL can do to a Katyusha missile imply a bad outcome for your Denali’s paintjob.

I’ll bet it would do a helluva number on your dog, too.
