That’s kind oversimplifying, no? A simple wedge versus a “system of systems” designed to take 2 people over 200 MPH? Lots of different ways to do that: wings vs bodies, engine and drive configuration, driveline type, etc. If this car could do the same mission without a ton of extra pieces and fins and intakes and…

I went back and read the original article as well. I believe this vaporware, if realized, would indeed stand out both technologically (paradigm shift in electric systems) and from a design perspective (elimination of edges and colors and extraneous detailing). 

Yes, less so the Bugatti, but all 3 are very busy designs. This has been the trend for a while now. 

I loved that film too, but honestly Plemons just doesn’t have range. Something about his physicality prevents him from having the kind of magnetism a leading actor really needs, and especially a star. Maybe I’m just being petty and he needs to be more handsome? In his supporting roles I’m distracted by his lack of…

This is the only supercar design that has actual vision these days. All the supercars today are just evolutions of the f40 or the 959. And there’s like twenty supercars right now? Then what truly stands out if a McLaren is a Konigsegg is a Bugatti? Whatever this blob is, it not only looks like nothing else but uses…

I believe yours was the spring board for conjuecture? “And I’m surprised she didn’t go ahead and say ‘pure lily white skin’”

“there is no need for a devil’s advocate in these discussions.”

Damn, that’s terrifying. Honestly at this point the “size wars” make riding a motorcycle a hazardous activity. I wonder what the comps are for injuries and deaths versus riding bicycles, and which is riskier. 

Did ... you mean to write so much inaccurate and easily disproven stuff? This may be the most sarcastic post of the year. 

“The fact you’re still using “crack pipe” almost assuredly tells us you’re the type who drives an American car, so it’s no wonder 100,000 miles seems like the “end of the line” for most cars you’ve touched. This is a Honda. Even you should know better.”

“absent a lottery win I doubt an S2000 is in my future.”

A little bit in the spirit of the show’s plot, then?

I liked the taillights too! In 2002 that “jewel like” look was new and pretty novel. It was fast enough, and did its job well enough.

Oof, wow, yeah I liked the look of those a lot, but an Intrepid is a hard turn into... what? sedan living? At 40 I would have bought one. At 20... or 22... well, it’s true i DID listen to a lot of Sinatra so I can’t say a big Chrysler wouldn’t somehow turn me on back then. 

I was young, hot blooded and in my prime. So I bought an anonymous, boring Alero V6 sedan. After I looked at a Prelude and a Miata.

Sounds like the old midget races I used to attend up through the mid 90s. If you followed it, the system made for basketball-like excitement. If not, you just enjoy a shit ton of hot, short, angry racing before the feature.  

When you have one kid it’s more collaborative than authoritarian. Unless you really want to fuck up your one 2 year old, alone in a backseat being told to STFU that has no other people in their life, because extended family lives 7 hours away. 

Once you start screens, you can’t go back. If I could do it again I would have delayed screens as long as possible. Problem was, we were taking several 7 hour trips to visit family from a very young age. 7 hours is way too long to go without a screen for a backseat toddler.
