If they are built on different production lines, then is almost as good as starting fresh. I'm thinking that there's a chance that rangers sold in South East Asia won't be made from the same factory as those in the States.

I'd agree for convertible, but for coupe I'd keep the back seats cus why not?

Back seat can be useful in a pinch. Furthermore, it's always a convenient talking point and great prop for silly challenges.

Just dropping in to echo this! The 86 is a livable car. It’s my only car, daily driver. I do my moving with it. My mountain bike fits in it, along with my road trip luggage, camera gears and light camping stuff. It does light off road just fine but not recommended. I’ve slept in the back but that’s totally not…

The Lotus Esprit X180 was designed by Peter Stevens, who also designed the Lotus Elan, McLaren F1, Jaguar Xjr-15 and the 555 Subaru Impreza WRC, and other MG cars. You can see why it’s so handsome.

Oh my god, I may actually know the person who made this! When I was in grad school(outside of Detroit), there was a fellow student in another department who was a jewelry maker by profession. He was a Chinese immigrant who was in his late 40s I think. He helped me make wax cast of my work and so I got to know him. He…

Hmmm... I probably sound ridiculous for thinking this, but I wonder if kids will think this is real, you know, think this is how nature actually works because how real it looks(for them at least). The lack of realism of cartoon helps to tell a narrative that is unrealistic, making it believable in its own context. Of…

Remember this? It’s been eight years and I think he’s proven that the public is indeed as dumb as you mentioned. This is by far the most cringe worthy videos released by any corporation.

I was taught the 3 R concept early in school. So my question is, why would there be so much “recycled” material to begin with? People like to talk about how much growth in recycling there is like as if it’s a good thing. To me it means we aren’t investing enough in improving the efficiency of manufacturing. If we…

I thought so as well, but apparently, not quite so with this Her Black 7 among my friends. So many of them have picked up a 7 within weeks of its launch. Over here, the hero black 7 is sold at $515 USD MSRP. There is very little room for discount and what the stores usually do is throw in a battery or something. Yet…

To me the hardest part is not shooting but editing and putting together a video worthy of even having a gopro. I have many friends who have Gopro and very few actually have the knowledge to put their footage together. It’s an expensive camera, but it’s not the entire package. Some of my friends use the quik app to put…

I use mine primarily for MTB too. I have a session and session 5, both lasts me the entire day of shooting(we do long rides in the mountains). Of course I have gotten to know when and how long to record, so knowing how to manage your battery juice and memory space is important but not hard to do.

I have only one car and I daily the hell out of it, even when I have to get deep into the mountains to ride my bike. All of my friends drive high ground clearance cars like SUVs and cross overs. I just stick to my stock GT86, packed to the brim inside and putting my PS4 tires to the test. However I do wish I have an…

Like dentist appointments, I’d pay more just to get knocked out for long hauls. There’s no seat or cabin design that will make anyone comfortable for more than a few hours straight.

I don’t get it. I am a fan of the session. I mount it onto my helmet when mountain biking. Sure it’s not the most convenient in terms of interface, but it does its job well. Why even have a hero white when they can just upgrade the session? The session’s form factor sets itself apart from the rest of the product…

I commute in my 86 through city traffic daily, done road trips and regular long hauls on the highway as well as occasional spirited driving. I’ve never felt the need to have an arm rest. May be if I do get one I will be convinced, but still, to me it’s not a necessity and certainly does not break the driving…

Ok ok I will just focus on the main point that they want us to focus on(and ignore the rest). It says by absorbing water on road surface it increases wet traction and the water becomes a supplement to the moss.

Ever heard of centrifuging force? You know, the physics behind tossing out water in a washing machine? The…

Taiwan. Korea will be pretty bad too I think. Singapore is another place that have gotten really ridiculous in education culture too.

Warranty issue? I think it’s interesting if you are trying to sell something that you market it to be modified, how will the product warranty work. Here in Taiwan, Toyota has insane warranty. 4 years 120 000km warranty on all cars. This is practically designed for cab drivers! It’s a very clever tactic I think because…

Few years ago I took my Industrial Design college students to a local kindergarten to run a program. During one group activity, my student had the kids draw the theme “home”. There was a four year old and a six year old in the group. The four year old produced a chaotic piece of work with colors flying off the page,…
