trying to capitalize on the active lifestyle design trend

Diversity is dead and the greater public are too great of fools to mourn the loss.

For the New Edge coupe, sure. They make the car look lower to the ground than it actually is, because the car’s visuals sort of “pull” towards the ground. But the SN-95, especially the convertible, is bottom heavy and the bodywork sort of “pushes” upward visually, and those tri-spokes balance it out a lot. The SN-95 wi…

The original SN-95 convertibles have aged well, if left in stock condition with the original satin silver tri-spokes. The problem is you can’t find any that haven’t been molested, and everyone threw out all the goddamn tri-spokes like fools.

I doubt the IROC sanctioning body cares, considering they last did anything with the name in 2007.

That said, nothing will beat the IROC-Z Prototype from 1987 with the fared in headlights and the big ass hoop spoiler. Any IROC they make will live in the shadow of the car.

The thing is, Kaiser-Frazer didn’t compete directly with GM in any market. Most of their business came from selling customized versions of the Henry J and Manhattan. the Henry J being an economy car — territory GM was pushing away from — and the Manhattan being a mid-tier still using early ‘40s tech, and the Darrin…

He legitimately did do some cool work. The Fireball 500 Barracuda’s one. And the Calico Surfer was a car made from the ground up, featuring a Corvair flat six sticking right out of the hood.

But yeah, he did do a lot of garbage. The Bugazzis, the horrible Sonny and Cher Mustangs, and the laziness of the 1963 Ford…

The GT/CS definitely improves the looks of the Mustang. The rear spoiler and wheels definitely do a lot of the heavy lifting, but the sidescoop breaks up the big wall of horrible that is the S550's flanks. It makes it look shorter, which is a positive thing.

Too bad the front still looks like a Fusion.

That’s only if there’s evidence of things like corporate espionage. Because at that point you’re intentionally making an effort to steal individually.

When something like this happens, it’s a lot harder to argue somebody stole specifically from the party that got leaked, because now the entire public has free access to…

The real solution is designing the catalytic converter so that it’s so deeply buried inside the car that it’s faster to steal the car rather than chop off parts. It’s much easier to deter theft of an entire car and track it than the individual parts that make up the car.

To some degree this is already happening. Ford,…

You want something that will actually completely scare you to your core, you don’t watch some ooga booga monster crap. Oh no. You watch something that fucks you up so bad even thinking of the title of that movie makes you uneasy. You watch the bitter, cynical script written by Stanley Kubrick that got turned into a…

If only this was in Forest or British Racing green it’d be perfect. It’s even still got the lower bumper lip and dealer installed foglights. Most of them lose the bumper lip over time and people replace the foglights with flush units when they change the U.S. bumpers for the UK market ones. This was a really taken…

Not for the car stereo specifically. Like, home stereo equipment. Mainly because you could wire up as many speakers as the unit could output power for, or add an amp to the stack to boost power even further and add more speakers, the tape mechanisms were at their best, CD players could play both regular and CD-RW CDs…

Beat from Jet Set Radio/Jet Set Radio Future. High mobility focused on attacking through movement to the sides and below, incentivizing him to stay above characters where he’s vulnerable to being juggled by skilled players.

I’ve just given a better idea while eating a corndog than most people have after a six hour…

What you’re describing is political concentration. If left unchallenged, the worst ideas in a society do not get filtered out once they are deemed unacceptable by the majority of society. Instead they concentrate into ever more vitriolic forms. Modern Republican ideology is the triple distilled whiskey version of Barry…

This is classified as a Class 2 E-bike, but goes as fast as a Class 3. And where I live this thing’s already illegal, because it’s above the 1000W output limit at 1350W. Which I honestly think that max power output is entirely because this thing weighs sixty pounds and they needed extra output to push the weight if…

At that point you’re just building an electric motorcycle.

You’re not alone in thinking that. I don’t want any car produced after 2005 simply because so many of them made after that date pale in comparison to what came before unless you’re talking about raw specs like towing capacity or top speed. Makes it easy for me because I’ll never buy new. It’s the same thing with…

That’s a prime example of corporate project hijacking. Take something that’s supposed to be straightforward, and completely derail it so that you can replace it with something that has your name on it. Konami’s CEO did the same thing to their diversification, pigeonholing them into being a casino resort chain.

As someone who used to partake in urbex a bit and still follows one of the bigger Youtube channels surrounding it, I used to go looking for things like this. I stopped because Twitter and Instagram absolutely ruined everything.

What would happen is you would have a group of dudebros come out to a middle of nowhere town…
