Ducks and dogs is a totally valid type of art. It’s never going to be cutting edge, it’s always going to be comfortable and accessible. Like a Camry. There’s a reason Camrys (and ducks and dogs pictures) are so popular and make money hand over fist. If you like ducks and dogs, be proud of that fact. If you like…

Let’s try another metaphor. Have you ever seen a full on fashion show, the kind where the clothes are utterly unwearable and make no sense and you think, “this is stupid, why would anyone want to buy this?” or a concept car that seems ridiculous, all bubble roofs and designed to be an autonomous rolling lounge and you…

Art= “herp derp I coulda done that myself” + “Yeah but you didn’t.”

The ill-styled commission you spoke of, the 911 Carrera 2 Targa Max Power- was sold with 90 miles on it. 90. 20 of which were added by the selling agent. So someone spent 700K (according to the BAT page) having a custom race air cooled race motor built, got every detail just the way they wanted it,and then drove it 70…

Special thanks to all the teams that kept the logos on the side pods aligned with the track and not at the same angle as the sidepod, which looks awful.

Counterpoint: No it won’t. Sure, it’ll have some ridiculous amount of horsepower. But it will have the same 300 mile range as everything else of it’s size on the market.

Yeah, this is an especially bad look for VW.

I get it. My girlfriend’s Prius is low to the ground and it’s harder to get in and out of than my Outback. That said, the prius gets better gas mileage so we drive it more. I totally get dinging the miata on ease of entry but still loving it for everything else.

I get that. I’m also a homeowner and there are times when it would be nice to have that much space to haul something from the appliance store or craigslist.

Totally get that and respect your opinion. For me it’s just that this this new one isn’t a mini anymore.

Calling BS on this. Mine’s 16 now and as a baby/toddler/grade schooler she barfed all over the back seat, there were goldfish crackers permanently ground into the upholstery, sippy cups leaked, crayons got left in the door pull and then melted down the door card, She got bored on a long drive and kicked the center…

OK, honest answer on why I didn’t get the minivan when we had a kid- they’re too expensive. I got what I could afford, which was a VW JSW.

Didn’t Moog already do this on Might Car Mods? And the result looks better? And with zero pretentiousness? And that still has a functioning back seat and trunk?

The feeling I get watching Grand Tour is... like seeing bands on the state fair circuit. Like, they used to be a thing- “Ladies and Gentlemen, BADFINGER”- but now they’re old, they’re just doing the hits (look, Jeremy’s hitting something with a hammer! And there’s James being Pedantic!) because that’s all the…

Oh, we’ll know. Eventually.

OK, correct me if I’m wrong, and I know this the the brave new world of Uber losing money on every ride and crypto and NFTs, so maybe I’m behind the curve on current economic theory. BUT, If you’re not making money on sales, shouldn’t you just raise the price so that you are, in fact, making money?

I know, I know. But it’s an industry specific word and you just grit your teeth through it the first 20,000 times you hear it. After a while, it just becomes natural.

I would love to have almost any of of those small sub-15k chinese EVs as a daily commuter, as a car I could let my kiddo use to drive to school. I hate that all we get are gigantic monster cars.

My best guess is that these NYC trucks are designed to handle much larger bins than our residential bins but otherwise, yeah, this is how we get our trash picked up everywhere else.

So you’re saying that a truck without solid axles and lockers and that’s burdened with all manner of electronic traction controls can still be driven in snow? dear god in heaven what have we done?
