Vimes boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness

The “cheap OEM parts” reminds me of that old adage about how it’s expensive to be poor. A poor person needs work boots, but can’t afford a good $100 pair. So he buys a $10 pair. But they wear out, so he buys another $10 pair. And so on. Whereas if he had been able to buy the $100 pair from the jump, they’d last much…

If the eyes are the window into one’s soul, the headlights are similar in their impact on the character of a car’s design. 

Going down a rabbit hole now...

Ascari KZ1 had Peugeot 206 headlights, if I recall.

Ha, I knew I had seen those Cizeta V16T tail-lights before, but had never thought of the Alpine A610 before!
