name checks out.

uh, look at the pictures above. from the B-pillar back (and forwards) they are exactly the same. same window shapes and angles and sizes. the _only_ difference is a bit of extra trim at the back of the back side window on the Civic. the lighting and angles of the photos makes the C pillar more obvious on the Civic,…

wow, you are angry. what was unclear about the above? _DIFFERENT_.

I don’t really care how it is different, but I want it to be actually visually distinct where from 50 feet away I can instantly tell “that is not a Civic”.  why would I pay an extra 3k for a Civic SI just because you called it an Acura?  it has to have…

no, ver left plenty of room for ham at silverstone and ham deliberately turned his wheel to punt him.  watch the cockpit video, he clearly has more than a car width, is not even close to along side and turns out into ver.  straight denny hamlin nascar move.

ver outbraked himself on the dirty side in brazil and he also…

pedestrian standards don’t seem to prevent lexus from differentiating from toyota, or infinity from nissan, or porsche from audi.

there is not even an attempt to change the hood profile, grill angle, greenhouse or even rear bumper in any significant way. this is a poorly done aftermarket body kit where the original…

fucking Kinja.

no. I am disappointed that the new Integra is visually indistinguishable from the Civic it is based on.

the old Integra looked dramatically different vs it’s contemporary Civic. even the basic shape of the greenhouse and all bodywork was different. lower, sleeker, more wedge shaped.

the number 1 way to improve your shitbox is to trade it in for something less shitty.

if that is not an option (due to extreme shittiness) replace all your suspension bushings, tie rod ends, shocks and put something other than the world’s cheapest tires on your shitbox.

I’m ok with them letting this go as they gave hamilton a walk on attempted murder at Silverstone.

given the rumors of Audi wanting in to F1 for post 2025 when the new engine rules come in, this makes a lot of sense. easier/faster path to success to buy an existing F1 team than start from scratch

first thing: thank you for resisting the urge to make this a slideshow, I know your corporate overlords are crying in their 36 year old single malt right now about the millions of lost clicks and it makes me happy to visualize that.

second: I wasn’t aware that Tracy Syndrome was communicable.

third: what happened to the…

counterpoint: this is a cheap place to take a penalty in order to have 2 almost new engines to choose from over the final 3 races. this is a strategic decision to maximize their opportunity to win the championship.

they were expected to lose here to RB anyway, but are still faster than every other car on the grid by a…

all of the 400 different charging standards (as well as the generalized lack of availability of chargers vs gas stations) says “wait 5 years before going EV unless you like self abuse”

I fought the weight issue my entire AF career (9.5 years). in my case, I am a short legged, long torso muscular build man. even at my fittest, when I was running the physical fitness test in the 80th percentile with a full 6 pack of abs and <10% body fat, I was at or over the weight limit.

I worked with guys with…

I mean, looking at it it is just a civic with a new bumper, grill and wheels.  literally nothing else has changed visually.

so it’s Civic 5 door with a grill and bumper kit...

am disappoint.

their data on their website says 200kg satellite. what is your issue?

I was not saying it wasn’t potentially useful, just that the forces involved are enormous and the article doesn’t do a good job of making clear just how huge those forces are.

fuck off.  oh noes I got my capitalization wrong on kilograms. being a deliberate moron is still being a moron.

easy choice - the silver FJ Cruiser in the top photo and the red mini in the second

jesus you are a moron.

I was not expressing concern, just running the numbers to make clear exactly what the levels of force involved are.
