In 1957 at the Tulsarama fair, they buried a brand new Plymouth Belvedere in a time capsule. 50 years later, they opened it up only to find that the car had been terribly damaged by numerous floods that had ravaged the city.

I think that it's such a waste of a beautiful car. They'll never get that car restored and running again.

For me, now I use the word "Tulsarama" to refer to something that I've put away for use later only to find it's gone bad. I had a bunch of sealed deskjet cartridges for my deskjet 500 that were about 10 years old and when I opened them they had all disintegrated. Tulsarama, baby.

It reminds me of these supercars in Brunei.
