There’s laws about actual surface area required to be lit up and minimum amount of lighting required, both front and back. They can’t do the tiny strips they’d like to, so they try to disguise the real headlights like they’re a third set of vents, giving this freaky face where the grille strip is above the actual…

You’re surprised? The ‘63, 68, and ‘71 Rivs were unique and special cars. The ‘63 and ‘71 Rivieras ignited entire styling changes across the industry, first with the coke bottle styling that Pontiac was the second to adopt a year later in 1964, and then with neoclassical styling cues that became a fad starting in 1973…

I feel like they forgot that smog is a major factor in volumetric light. Historically, up until the New 52 ruined everything (and I mean everything), Gotham was a steel city. It was a manufacturing hub, and all the rich people of Gotham were industry barons. One of Poison Ivy’s main character traits that she’s had…

The devil is in the details. While they take the same design cues, the proportions of the wheel to tire are off, as is the thickness of the edge proportional to the tire sidewall. Plus the openings are massive, making the entire wheel look bigger than it actually is and making the center section look huge. There’s…

Pretty much everything made since like, 2006. They’re all so overly complex and they all suck to clean. Not to mention this stupid trend of painting portions black to make the openings between the spokes appear bigger or make the rim look like it’s floating. It doesn’t look cool, it looks cheap and tacky and for…

You forgot finding the $200,000 stored inside the fiberglass rock of the local reptile salesman’s terrarium which involves stealthing through an overgrown backyard six times the size of the house but a quarter the width, climbing over cars with moss and ferns growing in the headlights and along the door rub strips,…

The W-bodies were good cars. They were just let down by being released just a bit too late, and being surrounded by the A-bodies and N-bodies at the same time, which were as cheap as GM could get away with. The A-bodies especially tainted the image of the W-body cars, because they made people think that everything GM…

If this war has proven anything, its that the Russian Federation is not the super power threat that anyone regarded them as.

Oh yeah, Kazzer. I forgot those doofs for like fifteen years until you just reminded me. I think the last time I had them on an MP3 player was... 2007.

Did Outrun Coast 2 Coast never get ported to Switch? It’s been everywhere, including the Xbox, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, and PC.

In fact Coast 2 Coast seems kind of like the perfect game to put on Switch with some updated materials, textures, and shaders.

Yeah, no, that doesn’t matter. Ferrari is Ferrari. When people think supercar, they think Ferrari. They need an SUV to boost their image in the same way Taylor Swift needs the help of Bill Manspeaker. The audience overlap is basically zero, and the former will continue to grow massively even if the latter never…

That’s exactly the kind of mentality that’s left us in the current massive disaster that the pandemic has accelerated. “Oh you don’t like it? Don’t participate. Don’t try and change things, don’t try and convince people something is dangerous or negatively affects their lives. Just go away.”

I like technology. I build…

Yeah, no, fuck that. Never mix your private and federal life. Never give tech companies more information to blackmail you with or that can be compromised. This is stupid, and people who say they want to go along with this are the kinds weakening privacy protections and enabling state and corporate power. All because…

It’s between Two Ton Paperweight by Psychostick:

There’s also the unique problem that nobody else except Morgan sells a fully analogue rear wheel drive car anymore, let alone an actual proper roadster that’s not a convertible. And since Morgan can’t sell firsthand to the U.S. and much of Asia, Caterham has those markets all to themselves.

The scammers have been out in force these last few years trying to capitalize on the new eco pedestrian urbanism movement. The Hyperloop, that stupid train pod thing, flying taxis, and now a gondola.

Just build some fucking trains. Proper long distance rail, light rail, metros, and raised track systems.

An interesting observation I noticed after three Mustangs parked side by side while I was walking through a parking lot recently: The New Edge and S197 are actually taller in shoulder height than the S550, and the S197 is actually just as long as the S550. It’s like somebody took the S197 and just kind of squished it…

Evils Awesome once thought conquered unfairly discarded, now returning from the depths.

GM are the masters of building mechanical cockroaches.

I lived in Ohio for a few years, and yeah, high speed travel in rural Ohio’s always fun. Especially when, like you said, you’ve got family who are from somewhere else and aren’t used to the “Speed limit’s 45? Nah, speed limit’s 75.” mentality. Like hell I’m going to go the speed limit from Pomeroy to Utica. Most of…
