Most of these fall under “if we can’t all do it, none of us should”. One person not moving in line might not matter, but what if everyone did it? One person on speakerphone in a waiting area is no big deal, but what about 300 people doing it? Nobody is special in public.

Tesla’s direct-only approach is going to limit their growth potential eventually

Monaco is a one-marque race for the season’s pace car

The Mangusta is a Giugiaro design, and the Pantera is a derivative credited to some American I’ve never heard of... I don’t think it’s a hot take.

I’m not a fan, but you know he likely had nothing to do with that right? His business manager told him he could make a few mil a year by loaning his likeness to a white-label social media app, they hired a social media intern, and it survived until the trolling got heavy enough to make it back to him. That same white…

This thing looks way more dangerous than I was picturing in my head. The width of it is nearly all death with a small sliver of safety in the center. If my snow cat was rolling backwards I’d let it go and check back in with it later

I can’t give Loewy any credit, it’s in my Henry Dreyfuss fan club pledge.

On the toothed-variable speed racks I’ve seen, the ratio curve never changes. You can still develop muscle memory that allows you to point the front wheels exactly where you want in an emergency. Add another layer of variability with speed... do you really think that works in anything but ideal circumstances?

Her A310 makes ICE noises in the show.

She would get them from Simon : https://www.simon-auto-shop.de . It’s 2022 and we can still get A310 parts, I’m sure she’d be fine in 2015. If people still drive classic Alpines after the apocalypse, someone will supply that demand.

This is karma for HD killing Alta, which is the only electric bike I’ve ridden (KTM, Zero, and a few glorified bicycles) that was more desirable than the ICE equivalent. It was lighter than my XR, and obviously more powerful. Rode it around a city and I immediately saw the appeal of flogging a race-capable machine…

What do you mean? It’s a Tercel. Says so right here on this frame stamp with evidence of welding around it

Race cars tend to be delivered in white (blank canvas for livery), so homologation models in white will always be cool.

Anything from the era that Loewy dominated, like Studebaker. Designers were producing indulgent, thoughtlessly flashy work back then, for good historical reason. Anything with fins or a (non-functional) turbine gives me secondhand embarrassment. We went through another wave of that with dummy vents and people…

You aren’t going anywhere, what’s to get? Nobody is getting shot for their beliefs, until their beliefs justify breaking/entering and seizing someone’s home — armed with an assault rifle, in case you missed it. If that reads as a harmless exercise of basic human rights or a difference of opinion, your self-preservation…

I trust that self driving cars are safer than those people, not me. I’d be happy with a motorcycle-endorsement style skills test. Make people slalom and threshold brake, hell just setup an easy autocross course and count cones. If you fail, you’re endorsed for co-driving in autonomous vehicles only.

The design team is too large to make anything but camels

Alfa 158/159. I don’t think the engine has it’s own name, perhaps because it was all works teams in the GP/early F1 era and nobody shared tech.

If the team buying wins isn’t winning, then you can’t buy wins. Genius.

Ferrari? Have you been in a coma since 2008?
