Come rain, snow, neglect, or nuclear apocalypse (probably), these things just work.

I am also an architect working with high-net worth individuals. One of my favorite memories is one of an Upper East Side wife who literally had a tear-ridden tantrum about her need to have a Sub-Zero refrigerator and that there was no way she could live in the apartment without one. Her husband, who made all their…

Brough-trucks are driven by a higher class of douche-bags.

ha ha! They are close but need more burled walnut!

They should have gone full Brougham d’Elegance

Event #1: 1997, Rome, Italy. I was with a group of college friends doing an Italian tour for our architecture program. On our last night there, we walked out of a bar at about 2 AM. Walking down the street myself and a buddy both stopped dead in our tracks looking at something we could not place. Going to school in…

Don’t forget to add in a box of extra wheel bearings. 

We won’t be buying stuff that needs a ton of work.

It would surely be great if gas pumps would accept paper money like a vending machine. Stations would keep all the cash and not pay the credit cards their fee, drivers would be able to pay the cash rate, and there would be no concern over card data being stolen.

Clearly, this came from the design studio of Otho Fenlock. His work in the 80s was on the verge of groundbreaking, but being able to move towards an aesthetic that can simultaneously confuse the brain to think the owner has a mis-understood version of taste while spending enormous amounts of money is nothing short of…

CP, for no other reason than having gold tone badges.

Why not? It is the one thing you look at every single time you are in the car. My wife stopped looking at the Mazda 3 exactly because of the tablet on the dash design.

That night mode button on Saabs was great.

The tablet sitting on the dash aesthetic is pretty much the main reason my wife stopped looking at the Mazda 3. I hope this trend goes away soon.

Not to sound square, uncool, and in general old, but do headlines really need to drop F-bombs?? I love swearing as much as the next sailor, but it kind of sucks when my car loving 8 year old looks over my shoulder and asks, “What is that word, dad?”. I shouldn’t have to censor reading about a Toyota.

Or you can go to Amazon and get the same watch, without the fancy band, for $50. Which is pretty much always the price, so you won’t run out of time.

I know it has already been asked, but just to push the point a little more: Isn’t this Fancy Kristen’s territory?

I don’t really mind the extra graphics, but I wish they were more consistent. For example, when there is a critical pit stop being made, they don’t show the map with the location of other cars 100% of the time. This drives me nuts the most. That and when the director shows lap after lap of the leader with no cars…

But, but, but....the sound made everything so much better!
