4th: Did anybody catch this a few weeks ago:

Everyone knows what a Genesis is now thanks to Tiger Woods.

Boo. Hiss. First African-American World’s Richest Person dethroned during African American History Month.

They sure as hell have been valuated (?) as one.

I think your opinion was right about fit an finish, on materials and feel. But what other brands have really missed out on is the responsiveness of your interaction with the car. That touch screen is still miles ahead of any other car out there, and they have improved it over time too. When it comes to remote…

It just goes to show that people have different opinions on what constitutes luxury (who knew, right?).

In fact, they both attempt to climb on it and it flips over. Cameron even shot a scene where Jack explicitly tells another survivor that the door will only hold one person or it will go under. I honestly think he left it out because he figured that the door flipping would be enough to explain that there was only…

Luxury is more than just the quality of the dashboard’s material. When it comes to a comparison sheet between two cars it lists specs and features.

Lemme back you up a little here, because I’ve had to explain this to people before as well. For something to float, it has to weigh less than the amount of water it displaces. A flat object, such as a door, despite it’s wide area, would not displace enough water to float fully above water. It would sink to a degree,…

Every bit as fun as the asshats who insist on arguing the door would have supported them both

Jesus tap dancing Christ, how many times do we have to do this, it wasn’t about the area of the floating door, it’s about how much weight it could support. If Rose & Jack were on the door it would have partially submerged & Rose would have died of hypothermia before the lifeboat arrived.

While the sentiment, “all McLarens are starting to look alike” kind of hits the nail on the head, I think the bigger issue is that it seems their design language is getting a bit dumbed down. What I mean is this does not feel like evolution but rather, regression. The large side intake feels a bit design school-y and…

Yet another McLaren I will see in the wild and go, “hmmm, I have no idea what model that is” which is sad because my GF considers me basically an encyclopedia of cars. Any time she sees something sporty or rare she will ask me what it is, and I almost always know, but with McLarens I just say it is a McLaren because…

This new method of reverse will hopefully eventually show up in normal, everyday cars, but we’ll still see them traveling 300 mph in reverse in movies

Career design engineer here. A Japanese engineer asks: "Is it simple and reliable?" An american engineer asks: "is it cheap?"  A German engineer asks: " is it cool?". German engineers are great at designing something that lasts through the warranty period. Because the person buying the used car doesn't make them money.

No, it’s more brittle than regular plastic, and lasts approximately 1/10 as long.

... and it’s inaccessible once assembled.

Ask an engineer what time it is and they tell you how to build a watch.

German engineers: why use one part when six will do? And lets make it out of plastic even though it sits right next to the exhaust manifold, too.

As someone from the U.K. who maybe moving to the States later in the year (if this pandemic ever gets resolved) I’m slightly interested in these as I like the idea of buying a car there that I cannot (easily and in RHD) get here.
