No I’m not suggesting your ‘cuckoo bananas’ plan. I’m saying tattooing is a form of surgery, and that it is not unreasonable to require a doctor’s licence of the person performing said form of surgery.

Then, tattoos are not a medical procedure.

Thank you :)

Soo, uhh, Alissa.

Anything with self-levelling suspension, without an aura of knobs driving them. So anything 7 series, big black Merc, Audi, is right out.

Power takeoff in the middle is not unheard off for engines such as this. Take for example the V24 FIAT AS6.

In my experience, the one that lacks reading comprehension is probably stupid and wrong. (hint: You didn't even understand my actual position, obviating my need to defend it)

Ah, so it is your reading comprehension that is the culprit of your displayed stupidity. Well, you’re not alone so you can take comfort in that.

I stated that aerodynamics is not to blame for boring looking cars, and I substantiated that with good looking aerodynamically efficient cars.

Thanks for the kind words

No it is not. Go back to whatever school people told you that and demand a refund. CD is dimensionless.

Aerodynamics is based on ratio, reason and nature. To claim that you dislike that is as wrong as someone who claims to dislike sweet or fat food. The preference for the naturalistic aesthetic is hard wired in your brain. The strength of this appeal to nature is most clearly visible in the world of medicine, where…

These styling tricks aim to trick the light, trick the eye, disguise the bulk and sameness of today’s increasingly aerodynamic, regulated, and standardized cars.

Some strangely empty space here

I do not see why it is hard for you to understand my point. Let me explain further using examples. The Porsche 991.2 Turbo S is the fastest, most modern 911 Turbo ever. On the other hand, the Porsche 993 Turbo S is the pinnacle of the Porsche Turbo.
The La Marzocco Strada is the most modern espresso machine. The Faema…

I never stated that the Look was the pinnacle of technology. No bicycle ever was. You know just enough to think you know a lot.

I’m just repeating historic fact. It’s not really debatable why quill stems were used. Clamping headsets are not a new thing.

Yeah I know they’re worse in the measurements. But modern bikes really only give small increments in performance. Slightly finer tuning in terms of gearing, a bit more aerodynamic, a bit lighter.

That’s the pinnacle of the bicycle (if it were mounted with round, horizontally mounted drop bars). That’s where the film should’ve stopped. The mountain bike and bmx are just perverse interpretations. If the road’s not paved it’s probably not worth going there.
