Here in Taiwan, I won’t need to repaint my car yellow to use it as a Taxi, which is convenient!

Outside of Detroit city limit I am more familiar with Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Birmingham area. Yes I can tell. They all have different vibes. Madison Heights is where I went for most of my grocery shopping, from Meijers to Home Depot, that memorable Pho place near 13 mile on John R (please go say hi to…

When I moved to Atlanta, a cashier asked for my number out of their routine customer info thingy. I said “313 47...” and he got so excited that I had a 313 number... as if it’s supposed to be some sort of pride. I guess the tax-paying population in Detroit was so low that I was considered a rare breed.

By “native Detroiter” do you mean actually within the city limits of Detroit, or more like Livonia, Royal Oak or Birmingham? The reason why I’m asking this is, every time I hear someone who claims to be a Detroit native, they are from outside of Detroit and rarely step foot inside the city limit. One was even from…

It’s not just the kid’s fault. It’s the entire China! It’s very well known that if you exhibit anything in China, it’s going to get molested, raped, kidnapped and murdered. Last year I was a part of a team that had our design works on exhibition in Xiamen. These are mostly just product models that look good but are…

I started driving one of these since I was 12. Two gears, diesel which has a very forgiving clutch, slow enough not to cause any trouble and GREAT visibility all around!

On top of that, they really like to turn their AC to full blast. So coming in from outdoor to indoor while drenched in your own sweat is also something to get used to in Singapore.

The amount of rainfall their run-off system is able to dissipate within a short amount of time to avoid flooding is impressive. I lived there between 1990 and 2001 and there was not a single significant flood. However for some reason, the Bukit Timah area started to flood more and more often.

Infinity divided by zero times two.

I just find it “a bit” funny how there are obvious hints of discrimination in his FB post, mentioning “white police officer” and “never judge a book by its cover”.

In Taiwan, cops used to be who people are afraid off, in the sense that if a kid misbehaves, the parents will say,”I’m gonna call the police on you!”. Today…

Like I mentioned, it can’t take a MTB, and the front cargo space is really small too, just enough for light grocery shopping trip. How much is enough is relative. It’s definitely too small for me.

My bad, 2007.

Here the stupid government requires an inspection and new registration procedure when you install a roof rack on a car, because “the height of the car is been changed”. Also, only certified roof racks can be used. Since I am not feeling too secure with a rear bike rack, and don’t want the hassle of a hitch…

I once saw a Cayman with a canoe on its roof. The canoe was longer than the car, so cool.

I know this is out of context, but after seeing my friend’s dad’s old Cayman (97 I believe) with it’s very limited cargo space, I cannot imagine it being a practical road trip car. I did a 2 week road trip in my GT86, with a mountain bike, camera gear and other stuffs, and souvenirs along the way(all inside the car),…

As someone who has lived in south Florida, I’d absolutely not want to mess with ponds there. There’s all kinds of things that will kill you, from water snakes to alligators/crocodiles to Burmese pythons. Of course, the thick mud and zero visibility both in the water and being at night is the most scary factors. Once…

I kinda want to make a TDi sign and put it up whenever I want to be left alone.

You sound surprised, which surprises me because if a recall is pending, people who have worked on the design should have been notified to be made aware of the issues and find a solution. So either your involvement was insignificant or they just want to have nothing to do with you anymore.

As a GT86 owner, I wonder if there will ever be a bolt-on aftermarket hybrid system much like forced induction kits. I don’t care about horse power. Usable torque is much more relevant to daily driving, and the GT86 can use a lot of help below 4000rpm!

Being a good designer isn’t the most important attribute for someone who fills his role. Communication skills, specifically the ability to convince and push the right decisions through all the stakeholder leadership is far more critical. Car companies never lack of talent. They’ve got the best designers styling wise,…
