“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

This is truly a shocking revelation. I am amped up for the future. I’m sure Purdue really appreciates the plug for the research they have been doing into this.

“Elefantenrennen” is the greatest thing I learned this week.

Sorry for being sincere in the Jalopnik comments, but my love of the 1st gen Prelude is tangled in family history and a father who knew how to manage aerospace projects but cratered when it came to being a dad or a decent husband.

That is a truly handsome 2+2. The 2 seater looks better, but if this is what the Corvette became, we wouldn’t have that point of reference.

I’m not 100% sure but it looks a lot like the Tarbenas desert in Southern Spain:

Man, thats a wrap for Fernando. Lettuce recall the times he was in a pickle with his career He’s older, wiser, totally NOT a ham. However, I suspect this return to F1 might just be for the bread. Any way you slice it, ‘Lonso is still a grate. I wait for the day when he’s once again cheesing for the cameras. Heres to ho…

Providing liquid cooling for the motor opens the door to adding a bit more plumbing and providing it for the battery as well - a non-trivial consideration for high current draws.  If you’re going to design in the box for a rad, biggerize it a fuzz in every dimension and take better care of the batts; the losses…

I’ll never tire of BMWs headlight arrangement during the shark nose era. I recognize it’s not dissimilar to a lot of designs from the same period, but there’s something about the placement of the housings and how they’re framed by the grill that is just unfuckwithable. Claus Luthe clearly understood how proportional…

Is that a logo or instructions?

This facelift ruined all the quirky charm of the first gen.

So that Ford did not escape ?

Those harmful chemicals from the Changli are starting to take their toll

Seems as though a lot of the design is copying a student project from 5-6 years ago.

Although totally unintentional, I always like to believe that the hoodlines and the two tone on the Isetta make the resemblance of massive kidneys.

For me it’s the lower profile line down the side that doesn’t even tattempt to line up with the bumper cut, which it easily could. In fact, it would match the higher line of the car perfectly, and look more aggressive.

Sure, a base Delta is a completely different car than an Integrale (let alone an S4). But the Delta was a really good compact car when it came out. It brought new levels of refinement to that segment, handled well and had a design that held up quite well over time.

I think if I get a job in Toledo I just need to hide my XJ in your hoard and hopefully you’ll accidentally put it back together.
