I assume the person who said the Supra was saying it as a joke. The only people who shit talk the Supra are people who have never driven it and just hate it for the [utterly excellent] BMW engine, or the [admittedly polarizing] styling. It is a FANTASTIC sports car, and an excellent value at its price point. My…

Recaro hasn’t really been Recaro for a long time - the automotive division was sold to Johnson Controls over a decade ago. The Recaro name has really only been used in licensing for a long while now.

TBH this sounds a lot like the automotive seat biz was a drag on the company, so they sold it to a sucker.

Just a point of clarification / definition from the comments: a venture capital firm invests in early-stage, risky “startups”... moon shots that will probably fail, but could change humanity (at least, that’s the purest and most generous definition).

RTFA.

You know he does have a point about leaving one screen to do vehicle functions. It would be amazing if something as simple as a button located to the left of the steering wheel could open that frunk in one simple push! Seems so obvious but alas that’s just a feat of engineering we can’t accomplish

MY EYES

My person, the entire US commercial airline fleet numbers a grand total 5,882 planes.

In Q4 of 2023, there were 288,000,000 vehicles operating on US roads.

That is quite literally an order of magnitude more than the number of planes in the US squared

Porsche Carrera GT V10. Next question?

I hope those geyser ok 

Probably the M5 commercials with Madonna and Clive Owen, directed by Guy Ritchie.

That’s pretty impressive with a 9mm pistol and a moving target at 75 feet.

Rescue and Restore was the first such channel like this that I discovered, it is pretty good, and legit.

It’s just like the rug cleaning videos, which are clearly faked dirty rugs being cleaned.

You do realize almost all of these videos are faked, right? He buys two identical kits, takes one and trashes it/cakes it in mud, then cleans it before swapping it out for the second, disassembled toy that he reassembles. There’s literally no restoration happening here.

The entire point of the 2022 rule set was to decrease dirty air off the back of the car, so that the following car would not lose downforce in the corners, thus facilitating closer racing and easier passing. As far as I’ve heard everyone was in agreement that the ground effects cars had achieved this goal.

And 1,000 gallons of fuel is ~6,100 pounds, so that is a true anti-gravity machine.

the 2,200 pound hovercraft could carry up to 418 passengers

This woman?

To be a tiny bit fair, the lower end cars—especially the ones eligible for the tax incentives—are super competitive price offerings for a lot of gas alternatives or hybrid cars. If you are swinging for an environmental daily driver, a Model 3 or Y ain’t exactly a bad choice.
