It’s absolutely fine. It looks okay on a screen, but actually looks pretty good in real life on real cars. 

I’m just tired of being asked to be mad about something, I’ve hit my limit on it. I’ve been asked to be mad about too many things, and be “not your grandfather’s X” too often lately. It is what it is and I don’t care. It provokes only apathy from me now.

DT coming through with the solid content. Good article dude!

While it isn’t the most unique font, it reminds me of this font:

Even Raleway, a free Google Font, would have been a better choice as it’s basically Gotham, but with a neat crossed-V design for the W fucking VW logo that would have stood out.

I’d say that kit car people are the most car people. Building a car in your garage, where you touch and assemble all of the systems in all of their mechanical good - or bad - ness is the most intimate way of becoming familiar with a car you can have - short of designing and building a car perhaps.

There are so many Explorer ST’s around where I live. They are apparently flying off the lots. I have no idea what you are talking about.

And while not in America, many centuries ago most towns in England had a Gropecunt Lane...which was the street where the brothels were located.

I used to drive by this one all the time. Got to be pretty high on the list.

No, lights were on there. I had them on AUTO, too.

The unlit buttons would drive me mad, but not as mad as the all the different temperatures of white you see from the back seat of a Model X.
