Yeah well, Mr. Armchair psychologist here actually majored in Psych, and works in a career where it’s his job to psychologically profile everyone he meets daily, so he might actually know what he’s talking about.

Listen man, I don’t know the reasons for formulating the archetype of your past, but I can tell you that in order, from strongest to weakest, you would be:

Hot Hatch (road legal, fast, and utilitarian)
Dedicated track car (fast but unable to be used outside of a confined area)
Stanced car (made purely for the admiration…

I don’t doubt that there are portions of your subconscious that desire being a natural born predator. I never said you were a total slave to social judgement, only that you were in the context of your stanced car.

As for your hot hatch, utility comes to mind. This is a conscious decision to carry what you need to where…

I didn’t tell you. You told me.

Hence the point of energy harnessing... but okay.

Good correlation. Yeah, I’m the guy who’s disturbed by everyone. Actually, you’d think... that if I was as capable of psychologically dissecting everything as I was in the above post, that I’d also be capable of assimilating that there is nothing that I can do about people who have loud exhausts, stanced cars, loud…

Reaction times do come from brain stem reaction for a real driver.

Do you know what you’re talking about?

Exactly. And what else were cars made for, but the accelerated journey itself?

Right. Well, ‘Write’ing’ went right over your head too.

You wouldn’t build a non-functional or barely functional car because of how it is, unless you wanted to waste money to show others your personal taste, which again, falls back onto the subconscious desire to be accepted into a herd mentality in the face of a predator.

I know exactly what I’m talking about, thanks.

No. It is not possible. Aesthetics are a secondary conscious realization of subconscious interpretation. Ergo, stance would still therefore be more of a conformist art based off of a conscious realization of subconscious interpretation, rather than a first-level channel of inner primordial instinct as driving would be.

…

This application of theory can also be used on those who would rather drive a crazy fast supercar with an automatic rather than semi-fast sports car with a manual. They too are ignoring primordial instincts of “feeling”. The faster you go, the less haptic feedback is transferred to you from the road, and the more you…

I strongly, respectfully, disagree.

Cars are an instrument that is often used as a tool to get from A-B.

But for enthusiasts, the A-B part is irrelevant. And in that context, they become purely, an instrument to achieve driving nirvana, solely.

It’s one thing to make your car suit your tastes. It’s another to kill its…

Sure they do.

The visibility is fine on a Countach, minus the rear. Have you ever been in one? Also, it’s not unbearable in traffic, at all.

Actually, the Countach has terrific visibility out of the front. Sides aren’t too bad either. Have you ever been in one? It’s basically just the rear that suffers.

Hi.

Dig my stupid plexiglass windows that only open 3 inches.
Dig my lack of A/C.
Dig my lack of power-steering and door handles.
Dig my temperamental Mid Mounted Twin Turbo V8.
Dig my lack of stereo.
Dig my heavy clutch and my cumbersome transmission.
Dig my hot, suede seats.
Dig my hot, felt dash.
Dig my hot, leather rimmed…

The JDM guys from the mid-2000’s are now in careers and making money, that’s why.

Not everyone wants Mustang (although I admittedly do).

I think it was generally pretty good. I think it was funny that he had no choice but to photograph it as it was. The shop owner, who I know of, is very very friendly and considerate to people - I’m a little surprised that he didn’t offer to take the car out for a professional shoot. There has to be a backstory to…

Patience is a virtue in this case.
