SO many gaps, creases, and abrupt bodylines. There’s absolutely no design flow on this car. The Front bumper is so bad, it looks like it was in an accident and repaired at Maaco. The paint color/texture doesn’t even match.

I also find it pathetic that BMW is getting its design cues from Hyundai:

A big problem is even with fresh modern tires the original Vipers were difficult to drive. No traction control, super light, and tons of power. You just ram it into 2nd at full clip and the beast will be unsettled.

Imagine being rich and NOT buying an Alpine A310

Left rear looks 1.5 psi off. Dealership used an Analog gauge.

Always hated the two below on 4th generation Firebirds.

I always thought these (and some of the other S-Class/Maybach) wheels looked like absolute dogshit:

Forgot about these awful CRX wheels:

This is how much interior you need to remove to get at the hydraulic hoses.

I own a 2000 Jaguar XK8, at $4k this seems fair, but I’d note the following:

There are several historical car clubs or cruiser clubs where they do drive or show cars like this. Yes, they are road legal. No, there are no windshield wipers, windows are tinted odd colors (red, yellow, blue) and the headlights are going hunting for raccoons. They are driven to the track, raced, driven home,

Gassers shouldn’t have much of a height difference between the front and back. The suspension set up should allow for the back to squat under acceleration for weight transfer, if you already have the squat dialled in as it sits then you won’t get the desired effect when you need it.

I mean if it can be proven it was the stock method, they said “ has been modified by any means”, so if it’s restored, not modified, then it might be safe?

Why does he have so much overflow? I don’t understand why he can’t manage the shop so he can have people bring their cars in closer to when they can actually be serviced. Maybe he’d still have a handful he’d need to street park on occasion, but not so many as to take up the streets.

I’d prefer that it deploy with a touch of a button on the steering wheel, but fly out from the hood.

Ha!  That’s exactly how it sounded in my head when I wrote it but I didn’t make the connection at the time. 

Rory, this is obviously a heartfelt piece and I appreciate that. As with almost everything you publish here, it’s very well done.

Basically you pay for a receipt for a link. Your purchase is recorded on the blockchain. The only issue (amongst many other issues) is that the NFT itself doesn’t contain the thing you paid for, its only a link to where ever its hosted. Owning a link =/= owning the actual thing. Its basically a more complicated,

There weren’t any fuel standards back in the early days of diesels. People commonly ran their diesel engines on pretty much anything they could get their hands on; gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, creosote, mineral oil, and vegetable oil to name a few.

So who is going to...  carry...   the...
