2) Moped

I hadn’t heard this one. Why is this a thing? 

I love this. There is something about this vaguely futuristic aesthetic that pokes my nerd brain in juuuust the right places. Now if you excuse me I’ll spend the next couple of hours looking at T-Style’s catalog. 

Add a third recommendation from my dad. He had a manual 2014 (I think) in one of the lowest trim levels. The truck might be ugly and spartan, but it just worked. He sold it when work took him from the mountains to the city, but I know he still misses it.

Listen, I know my country is f*cked up, but come un people! You’re supposed to be the First World! Homeless students? What the hell is wrong with you?

My dad has a story about this: before I was born he used to be a part time taxi driver. One night he was robbed at knifepoint by two gang members. After the incident he went to tell his boss what happened thinking that they would go to the police department to file a report, but instead his boss asked him for the…

Beverage coolers. Growing up my parents bought a used 90s minivan (Voyager I think?) that came with a minifridge that could hold a 6-pack. Maybe it was aftermarket, but it was flawlessly integrated to the center console. Anyway, having a cold Sprite ready to go with your sandwich on long road trips was heaven.

My wife’s CX-3 has one and it is very handy. Also, I work as a software engineer in the industry and based on the things that I’ve seen lately, a lot of automakers are developing HUDs. It seems that this feature will be very common in a couple of years. 

This. I’m a millennial and the Countach was the first real-world car that made me go “wow!” My oldest cousin had a poster of a red one on a black background and a blonde model on top of it. Back then I didn’t have any interest on the lady (I was four or five), but I could stare at the poster for hours. Even today I…

Oh man, this reads like the beginning of a spin-off Fast and Furious zombie movie.

I know, I know, that was a douchy take. I think the reason why I see them as different things is the people I’ve encountered wearing those items (not that I’ve ever known anyone that owns a Daytona or a Monaco). It’s one of those things were I’m aware of the arbitrary distinction I’m making, but I’m not really sure…

I hope I don’t sound like a fun-hating moron, but I think a lot of automotive-related clothing looks bad. Every time I see a dude wearing Puma Ferrari or Mercedes apparel I immediately think “well, there goes a douche.”

This was great. This gave me a new perspective on how to explain things to my brother. Thank you for this.

This would be awesome. Before owning Tsurus our main family car was a VW Brazilia, and to my brother and I it felt like riding a spaceship. They are loved here in Mexico because they just keep going with very basic maintenance and to many families it was their first family car. It just checked the three Bs: bueno,…

You described perfectly how it feels to encounter one of these in the wild: you don’t notice it until it’s right in front of you. There’s one around my neighborhood whit a couple of tasteful mods that’s very pleasing to look at.

Oh, that looks wild! I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

Hmmm, this is not the first time that someone recommends me Yuru Camp. I’ll add it to my backlog. I’ll also check the One Off series, since it’s just four episodes. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yes, the fanservice always felt wrong. One scene you have a group of friends enjoying their motorcycles and the next thing you see is BOOBS! UNDERAGE BOOBS!

Yeah, I’m Mexican, but I look white, so I’ve never had any issues while entering the US. This has not been the case for darker colleagues and family members. Every time I’ve crossed the border with a colleague that does not look white they’ve been searched and interrogated thoroughly while I’m just let through, and on…

Yeah, reading this I’m wondering if this is more a case of the border agents checking U.S. citizens for the first time now that there are less Mexicans crossing. I’ve heard stories from American colleagues smuggling pot to make easy money in their youth knowing that they were not going to be checked because they’re…
