This looks like someone gambling (well) on the near future of trendy retro car culture.

The fact that you don’t know the beautiful sound of rubber on road is proof enough that your engine is too loud.

And you certainly can listen to music in a regular car, but you hear a lot MORE of it when your vehicle is quiet.

That’s like being into fine dining because the food looks pretty.
Or into target shooting because of the noise.

It’s a shallow take when there is so much ELSE about it that’s fun/interesting/valuable.

I don’t care what anyone else has to say, this sound fantastic.

ICE are like the needy guitarist in an up-and-coming band. Constantly soloing and way too loud at worst, but generally just droning on.

The first time I rode in an electric car with the windows down, it all clicked for me. There are so many OTHER amazing…

I had a cop do this in the States once- I was doing 45+ in my (30 mph) neighborhood one summer afternoon heading back from a friends. Local cop pulled me over- we happened to pull over into a public lot for a green space.

He saw a fucking terrified 16 year old who had had his license for about three months and realized…

The packaging overall is very similar to a private version (ie, not a shuttle) version of the Local Motors Olli 2.0, minus the 3D Printed lower frame, of course.
This almost looks like the Lucid Motors designer’s take on an Olli 2.0

A 9’ cargo van...

This is the kind of shit that’ll lead to Craigslist postings in 7 years saying “$12,000 firm. Basically a Raptor without the badging. I know what I’ve got. Serious inquiries only.”

If I was GM, I’d count these as sold trucks and double my numbers for the month.

I think they’re much smaller than you might be imagining- only slightly bigger than hand-sized. 8.5x11 piece of paper sized. They use FPV racing drones for this. They also use wide-angle lenses at high resolutions, so the drone is usually farther from the subject than it appears.

From left field-

And from left field, here’s this week’s gaming comic from XKCD!

Every website fighting for clicks with catchy image headers leads to the phenomenon most recently happening with the Tesla Truck- where articles about an unrevealed vehicle use ridiculously bad, over-the-top fan designs in their header images.

Stone is amazing, I love him- I actually discovered him through another streamer he frequently plays with, Aculite, who I have to recommend even more.

Brake lights can’t be on a moving body panel- we wont see this in the states any time soon, at least not legally.

I was going to ask if there was some cultural difference leading to less female cosplay and especially less scantily clad female cosplay, as compared to what we usually see from US cons...

My gut instinct though is that they still haven’t changed the distance between my shoulders and the shoulders of the dude next to me, which is absolutely the core issue.

They havent widened shit! Look at the gif- if your ass doesn’t fit in the middle seat, its not because of the width of the pad, its because you don’t fit between the armrests. The armrests don’t widen in that image.

Look, I was a teenager when Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2 came out. I had been playing the Need for Speed games since Hot Pursuit on the PC. The graphics were starting to get pretty fantastic. Rachel was hot. Her 350z was one of the better cars in the game for my drift-heavy driving style.

...And I convinced myself…
