What parts of this do you think back up your dipshit claims?

He’s doing the same posture mirroring that DeSantis did when he was up Trump’s ass, gotta stand like an absolute weirdo if you want a kiss from daddy

I know it’s an alien idea to the simpler minded folks here, but there are a lot of things to like about cars besides horsepower

Atlanta driving has a rhythm to it though. It’s absolutely frenetic, driving on hard mode, but it’s like Dark Souls difficult and not broken difficult. You can get gud at driving through Atlanta.

It’s wild just crossing the border from Alabama to Mississippi, the roads suddenly get wavy and uneven on the highway, and then the potholes around Jackson were by far the worst I’ve ever experienced. I was in an older F150 with pretty springy suspension, did fine on the neglected and gravel roads of SC, Georgia, NC,…

And how exactly does that relate to the auto industry?

I can’t wait to see Tesla release a genuine FSD ICE vehicle, that’s definitely in the cards if Trump wins

As someone who’s been involved in only really a modicum of mainstream auto industry testing for a few different manufacturers and suppliers, that hub wear thing was incredibly alarming. I’ve seen floor mats go through testing and pick up much more minor issues than that and requiring alteration before being released.…

Hey it’s an exciting new way to test vehicles, it’ll be the Roadster Beta Test Project, you pay $150k to enter the program, receive a prototype model, and all testing data will be reported via X posts(? tweets?) and YouTube videos, translating subjective statements into numbers using the AI cyberly.

I dig what I can make out so far. It’s got some unusual design stuff happening but I think part of it is just the colorful wrap covering things that’ll read as more normal car design with the usual matte or chrome contrast.

It’s beautiful

I’m gonna call it now: Middling box office, Netflix/Max/Apple pick it up, the next chapters are rushed out and streaming only. If Netflix picks it up, it’ll be re-released as a miniseries.

Eh it scans just fine unless you’re aiming to poke holes, same as calling M3GAN “em-three-gan” even though it does scan as “Megan”

None of these words are in the Bible

Yeah they have a bizarre identity crisis happening that seems to deepen with every new design. I always felt like BMW was the high end utilitarian vehicle to compliment Mercedes’ more bougie image, but now they’re these chunky geometric designs that feel removed from both BMW’s design history and the current trends of…

The slanted slats don’t bother me at all, especially in comparison to the disgusting tall kidneys.  

I mean they’re promo pictures, if those wheels are even an option, they’ll be the top tier option. 

They’re trying to ride the popularity of CUVs for maximum sales. And I don’t know much about aerodynamics, but this thing actually looks pretty slick, the front end is rounded and smooth and there’s little extraneous geometry down the sides. Looking at drag coefficients, the Prius is .25 and this is .26. Escalade is…

There’s gotta be some sort of cute animation on those lights right? If they didn’t utilize the grid for something like that, it’s a real missed opportunity.
