TVR Tuscans are the undisputed kings of weird. There are no door handles anywhere. To get into the car one must press a hidden button under the side mirrors. To get out of the car you press an unlabeled button next to the radio. The electric windows are controlled by knobs located on the center console, but not in the…

That’s actually a really helpful explanation of all the missing context here and it does paints a picture of the team as a whole.

I think one major factor has been forgotten here: size. Cars have gotten significantly larger over the years. The 2020 Corolla is over 2 feet longer than its 1970 ancestor and even 10 inches or so longer than the original 1982 Camry.

I really don’t see what the big deal is with this crash. 1 car trying to take the position, the other trying to protect it, neither yielding. This I’ve seen countless times. Welcome to high stakes racing.

I think the OP was asking why someone would buy one, not why AM makes one.

Because they like Aston Martin, they want a practical car, and they have a lot of money.

I know it’s heartbreaking for many to see another storied marque bowing to the pressure of building an SUV, but in this particular case it doesn’t really bother me. Aston Martin has a long history of building GT cars, which while fast are also meant to be gentlemanly touring cars. Let us also not forget works like the…

Ironic that a company that is trying to “democratize finance” has to convince their clients to vote on their own stock.

I know everyone is already saying this but it bears repeating: TIRES

Mom is a Porsche 911 purist and dad, even at 78 still rides motorcycles. Both have always had interesting cars. Over the years these included an Alfa Spyder, Peugeot 504, Saab 9000 turbo, Austin Healy Sprite, air-cooled Porsches, the orginal Audi Allroad, a VW squareback, a Celebrity Eurosport (“america’s e30"), and …

Honestly, anything that burns for cooking should be vented.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I want ventilated seats to have a reverse mode that vent farts outside the car.

Odd that they chose the medium roof version for this build, and no vent for the stove. I suppose if that was the best option available at the time, then I get it, but the extra headroom would make a lot of difference.

Oh yeah, the R Variant is on my list too.

I’ve wanted an Audi RS4 Avant or an RS3 Sportback for as long as they have existed.

Wait... so driving around in a rickety claptrap so I can cook, sleep, and poop in the same metal box isn’t as fun as it sounds?

Every single Tesla with a smug reminder that the car is electric. Non-Tesla EV owners don’t seem to do this nearly as much.

It kinda does but there is a special emphasis in body horror.

It all comes down to cost. If you want to expose the fasteners without making the car look and feel cheap you need to use prettier fasteners. A cheap black oxide phillips screw and a plastic cap are going to be cheaper than a pretty chrome or stainless allen machine screw.

I Oregon you literally can’t, they station attendant has to (some law I guess). It’s super weird when I drive there because I always forget and have some guy come up to try and take the pump out of my hand.
