To its credit, its Pininfarina-inspired design (by the Lancia Florida, one of the most influental designs of the XX century) is actually easy on the eye, but everything else is just disastrously dreadful...

Well, the Trabant 601 should cover all the years from 1964 through 1990...

The show “Timeless” had a nice tribute to Wendell Scott with the Darlington 500 episode. The show’s concept of time travel was totally bonkers, but some of their historic re-enactments were fun and cool.

One would have to imagine that it’ll be pretty safe in a crash despite there not being any airbags. I mean, hell. The front of the car is in a different timezone.

I like the way Jay enjoys one of his Merlin engines while remaining stationary, though it’s not always clear he and everybody around him are totally safe...

Spinning a car 720° over a frozen lake with three other passengers who had given me permission to do so, but were not quite expecting the outcome (I had done it by myself a few times before, so I knew it was safe with that car). It was legal, it was safe, and a lot of fun, but the passengers were left somewhere…

The annoying part is that all the early 2000s pedestrian safety measures that forever ruined sedan/coupe/sporstcar design by mandating high hoods and beltlines necessitating giant wheels to make designs appear proportional had their safety benefits completely negated by the SUV craze and their murderous giant gawping…

It’s just so sad that we waited decades for F1 cars to move from their 13 inch rims to 18 inchers, and when they finally do that they are forced to use hubcaps that make them look like 13 inchers again.

Yeah, that’s the 911R. To say this new over-designed 911 is about as pretty is truly perplexing.

Hmmm... No.

Very good perspective. It almost hints at Mazin and Druckmann having decided to rely on prior knowledge of the game from the viewers to skip those 3 months of relationship building and advance the story quicker. A somewhat strange decision, given how episodes 3 and 5 spent a significant amount of time providing…

To his credit, he did marry two of those foreign pretty white women, so he put his d*ck where his mouth was... Oh, that sounds very wrong...

It was a beautifully filmed and directed episode, but for someone who had never heard of the game, the arc of:

Not sure what the Robin Herd and Geoff Ferris were smoking when they concocted the 71/72 March 711. It did get one fastest lap, but 0 wins in 22 GPs.

The 1979 Ensign N179 must be near the top. Original solution for where to put the radiators that ended up mostly cooking the driver.

One of my favorite ridiculously-engineered cupholders are the one(s) on the second-gen Mercedes CL (C215). The conversation at Mercedes that led to their design must have gone something like this:

Luckily, the 2024 Ferrari Purosangue is actually pretty cool (if not exactly pretty) 

Right now with the book bannings, persecution of minorities, and rewriting of history, it’s quite identical to 1933/34 nazi Germany, minus the concentration camps the nazis setup 1-2 months after the reichstag fire, but maybe that’s what adolf de santis plans for his Disney World takeover. After 2024, it may well be…

The pettiness and assholery the human kind is capable of is entirely remarkable. Kind of a miracle we’ve had the ability to annihilate ourselves as a species since the mid-1960s and have lasted this long...

Just the US Government and Secret Service, plus all the TV shows and movies with FBI and CIA agents are enough to keep these high-profit archaic-tech things going ad infinitum.
