Art needs to connect with an audience, be novel and involve some sort of deliberate creative process.

Throwing paint at a canvass? Not art, it’s not novel and mostly fails the deliberate process test.

Broken Car Art? Well, it’s art enough I guess. But in terms of ranking how novel and deliberate the process was, it’s…

New Motto Alpha Romeo? “Broken Cars Can Create Delightful Art”

I understood it’s pricing when it was new, what...something like 10 years ago. But it never got upgraded and prices never decreased.

One would have thought that BMW would have dumped a modern EV drivetrain in it or upgraded power over such a long run.  It’s a capable and beautiful chassis but the hybrid drivetrain was…

The ol’ remodeled-kitchen-so-move-old-cabinets-to-garage trend is common among upper-middle class white households throughout Southern and Midwestern suburban neighborhoods. You know, it’s those ‘big neighborhoods’ that the rest of us might have had one friend we went to visit where you oogle at all of the large homes…

1: Trump didn’t get N Korea to agree to anything, he just stroked lil’ kim’s ego enough for a photo op.

The idea of using the ascent engine is exciting for many reasons.  Having a cheap sports car run on regular gasoline might be the most exciting.  I’ve wondered for over a decade why cheap sports cars like the the miata and BRZ have puny underpowered engines running on 91+ octane.  There’s zero benefit given similarly…

I will settle for a 2 door hatch with 350 hp. The STI may land flat if it sacrifices practicality in addition to not gaining any out of the box power.  

I certainly agree. Potency in green house effect is wildy over-accounted for. The volumes never come close to CO2 emissions to compare yet governments are more likely to knee-jerk and implement sweeping bans on these tiny contributors than CO2. My only hope is that new tech in the future allows for CO2 to be actively…

I think the hysteria around refrigerants has created quite a few lobbying opportunities. I recall learning about how DuPont was the #1 lobbyist advocating for Freon to be banned back in the 90's.  Freon was DuPont’s product but the patent was about to expire, so they leveraged fear to grant them controls to have their…

Think of the time and money spent developing this little car that costs about $35-45k (if in USD) that actually seems to have an exciting power to weight ratio.  That $$ should have gone into a turbo edition of the GT86 with similar amounts of power and they’d rake in far more dough.  What a dumb nonsensical company.

Funny, the most desirable Toyota sports car is a yaris with 3 cylinders that they fully developed in-house.  Priorities are not straight at that company

People buy crossovers now for the same reason that every woman feels it’s best to wear spandex leggings in place of pants everywhere in daily life. It doesn’t make any more sense, but it’s the style and people are sheep. That only gets worse now that social media is a thing.

Never a better example of the FAKE NEWS media. All MSM outlets reported that Musk was dancing, but whatever that was is CLEARLY NOT DANCING!

Sounds cool until you realized that you just explained the price-gouging logic Tractor Manufacturers use when engineering in proprietary tech to their tractors. “do you think you’re going to be pinching pennies with an old combine or do you want to have the best machine with the best service?”

I mean, when a farmer…

That was great, you better get a nice glass display case for that tooth lol

You know, Japan lost WWII because they refused to ackowledge that the Zero was in need of power upgrades. It was a superior plane at the start of the war but by the end the Americans were shooting them down 20:1 with planes that had almost 3x the power so the Japanese responded by having pilots just kill themselves in…

WRX’s may not feel as tight in corners, but they do corner quite well.  It’s like Top Gear 2008, they hated the STI compared to the EVO, said the STI handled like crap and was slower...then they set the exact same time around a track.  It’s Feel, but WRX is quick warts and all.

I’d disagree, I’ve certainly test drove them and know a crap-ton of guys who over the last 10 years went car shopping and wanted to love the BRZ but didn’t due to lack of power.  Test drives actually make people dislike the car more, it’s not like dealers have a nice curvy road planned out, you just mash at a…

Fair point but I think it’s just because Subaru so easily could have flopped the WRX’s turbo 4 in the BRZ and called it a day.  Minus ECU and wiring harness issues it’s practically a bolt-on upgrade.  Frustrated the hell out of people. 

The WRX is actually faster in nearly every regard, just isn’t as refined to drive at 10/10ths.  That much more power plus AWD WILL outperform an anemic RWD platform in nearly all situations not involving cones in parking lots.
