You're a prick!

Someone would have to be kneeling for their belt buckle to scratch below that tape. You might be thinking of today's cars where the fenders are all as high as the kitchen counter.

Fender covers can move and grind on the paint. For the sake of my old 200,000 mile 240SX, I wish my mechanic had used tape instead of fender covers.

Is that a Terminator skull on his finger?

I am imagining the M3 Bros who catalyzed this change; "WTF? There's purple on this car?"

Yes, I had misunderstood what you meant by "pop out," but my analogy of home furnishing, is still useful. If the gigantor navfotainment display is flush with the console, then the console must be built out around that display—no cabin space is free, and I would rather have the dashboard half an inch further away at

Oh, I thought you mean "removable and replaceable head units." Why anyone ever designed the aftermarket units to sit proud of the center console, with a fugly thick bezel surrounding it, is beyond me.

Oh, I didn't realize you'd been in the car and looked at how it was mounted. Sorry for being an ass. Good luck with that seeing-over-the-dashboard-thing.

Haha, you know what's funny? I've found that big TVs are better for one person, and little TVs are better for more. Working with kids in a hospital, if twelve kids had to sit around a smaller TV, they could all see all the screen and nobody's head was blocking any part of it—but when somebody donated a larger TV to

What about Taupe Gear?

Needs the mirror to be posted to the door, rather than within the DLO at the base of the A Pillar.

I'm not fond of this grille treatment. The Fisker nostrils at the outer corners look even more lost, and it starts to look more like a 1999 Ford Super Duty and less like an Aston Martin.

I suppose it should look like an early Naughties Nokia instead?

But you're still coming from the inflexible mindset that the display panel must be built in. You show me a space designed around an integrated display, and I'll show you the next decade's cheesy and regrettable accommodations for obsolete technology.

I mean to say that it's clearly one of the best looking media cabinets out there—not because it accommodates the TV so well, but because you could remove the TV and put art there, or a terrarium, and it would still look great.

Coming soon: Formula E energy drink.

Haha, I thought your Big Lebowski post was a response to mine.

What you found is a media cabinet where the TV looks like an afterthought...or maybe a photoshop?

I only mean LEDs have been dressed better than this now for many years.
