It’s a great shame isn’t it? You just can’t pin up a youtube comment on the fridge the way you can a good old fashioned letter in the mail, and it’s so much more personal when they know where you live.

Now solve the problem of getting in the car without letting six inches of water flood your interior.

Right? I was thinking the whole time, why didn’t they just build the intake into the a pillar, they could have boasted the world’s first built in snorkel and it would have been way more clever.

My School’s workshop was filled with machinery and hand tools that were 60 to 100 years old. It’s not like they couldn’t afford new stuff, just that the new stuff literally isn’t built to last a decade even. Any kind of industrial design that’s built to outlive the person who bought it is endearing to me.

I used to grab the keys to my dad’s old 911 when I was around 13 when he was out so I could whip the tail out on the grass field by our house. Of course he’d notice, the skid marks were massive, but I’m pretty sure I drove my first golf cart when I was 10. It’s not child abuse, it’s a bit of fun. What’s the harm in…

That’s ducking hilarious

What if you just have an equal number of “right” facing gears on one axle as you have “left” facing, wouldn’t that also do it?

So really, why aren’t they used more often these days? Surely having to counteract the thrust of the axles is asking for wear over long periods of time

Yeah but where are the seven new bookshelves?

There are probably a thousand concept cars with them, and annoyingly their designers still think they’re new, presumably because they’ve never been allowed to actually put them into production.

Failing Faraday Future, terrible, totally overrated.

Sources? Because I’m pretty sure most traffic deaths occur in rural country lanes, not between taxi cabs at a set of traffic lights.

Driving around a city centre at an average speed of 14 mph in a Volvo XC90 will never put your life at risk.

America was in a much better state than France in 1946.

Citroen did that a few times, the DS went from 1955 to 1976 I believe, and the 2cv went from 1948 to 1990! They knew how to make a product with longevity, and the designs really were relevant for that long. Well maybe the 2cv could have been culled ten years earlier, love it to bits but the fact that it was produced…

They drained the swamp all right, they just filled the void with thin skinned tweets, alternative facts, small crowds of people, Russian spies and golden showers.

I think it’s correct, but the fact that it looks wrong is what makes those little winglets such eye sores.

Apart from the fact that this is a car site. People are going to notice.

The Juke’s designer was on the same car design course that I’m on. Every time someone slates it, myself included, we get a big tut tut of disapproval from the lecturers. “It’s different, it’s edgy, it breaks the status quo, etc...” - it’s still a fucking eye sore.

I would imagine it’s a lot more complicated than it seems. Foxconn has grown so large and so fast that they’re virtually the only place you can reliably go to if you want to produce in such high numbers. I imagine Apple is more at the mercy of foxconn than foxconn is to Apple. Consequently Apple isn’t really in a…
