Yeah. He is definitely reaching Trump levels of twitter stupidity lately. Kind of sad, since one of them is a blowhard politician(so some dumb statements could be expected), the other is undoubtedly an intelligent person. I try to ignore both as much as possible.

Exactly

While I do agree that Musk shouldn’t be tweeting about things he clearly does not understand, this article is also putting more eyeballs on his batshit tweets. Moral of the story is that you shouldn’t be getting any information from anything other than a highly vetted source(like a medical journal, where peers in that…

Completely agree. I love the NSX, and its definitely an iconic sports car, but ive driven a bunch of them(stock, track-prepped and supercharged) and they never quite lived up to the hype for me. The early s2000's are great, although there are a few things that made me pass on them for other cars over the years(non…

Ha! I grew up close to WW and remember seeing that van around. Small world.

Yup, happy to help. Email me - Stefan.Taylor.Design (@gmail dot com)

My first day as a designer at a large OEM, I opened the bottom drawer on my desk, and found loads of old fading vellum pen and marker sketches from bygone projects. Now with us working mostly digital, it is easier to keep stuff(although obviously keeping it for yourself is hard/sometimes impossible). Looking forward…

Definitely with you on this.

Insane. Probably helps a bit that Chicago is nice and flat, but still an incredible number of miles on a clutch.

Pretty sweet that they let you tour the design studio. I work in design for a car company and there is no way journos would be allowed in(especially with a camera/phone).

Designer(mostly exterior) for a large Detroit based OEM here. Happy to help lend some insight if needed as well.

Agree with most of the list, but the Chiron definitely shouldn’t be there in my opinion. I have a friend with one, who is a true car enthusiast and actually drives it quite often. He has had it on track, driven it in the rain, in dirt and around town. Having been in it a few times, and having been to the factory to…

As an Automotive Designer, Syd Mead was always a great influence on me. He was an absolute master of composition and visual communication. His retro futuristic style has undoubtedly influenced the way that cars and products look today. I had the pleasure of meeting him once, and he was a true gentleman as well. RIP

Weird, for some reason, I totally missed that you wrote front straight. Doh.

Ah okay...must have missed that. Makes sense.

Agree with alot of what you said but the gt40 was running pretty close to that on the Mulsanne straight in 1967(yes I know the movie featured the 1966 race, but its not entirely inaccurate for a speedo to read a bit high).

“journalists”

I never knew you were in the bay area. I just moved to Detroit (to work at one of the big 3) after 15 years in SF/Peninsula. Small world.
