Cybertruck is to real truck designs as Musk is to real perfumes and colognes. 

I think what stood out to me most was his distinction that the Cybertruck is a rather unfriendly design that gives the impression of protection rather than warmth. It’s a take that goes beyond the usual “oh, you just dislike it because it’s different” and really hits home at the kind of issues that our society is…

I get that tesla has a cult like following with some, and Elon has plenty of indefensible statements, but all car enthusiast circles are just as dumb with the groupthink. I’d take obnoxious Tesla owners that try to make the planet more hospitable over the toxic masculinity truck bro that wants to poison your air any…

Tesla is weird in how they’ve fallen in terms of styling. We’ll ignore the first Tesla Roadster, given that it wasn’t Tesla’s design. Then:

Hmmm that does sound like a good idea...if only someone where to offer such a service... :)

You know what would be useful, a car-buying service that (for a fixed fee) would look up all these services for you, help you narrow your choices, and find you the the best (or close to best) deal for the vehicle you want. What do you think?

I want this level of info for every luxury brand. Ever try to find a used BMW with a Driver Assist Plus package? Not fun.

You know what would be a really handy used car site? Something that provides data about real-world service intervals, expected maintenance and repair costs, and common failure items & problems.

No, but it would give you a quick and easy way to check the VIN and confirm or deny the car has what you want without having to call the dealer.

You know how pets frequently look like their owners? Same thing here.

Most motorcycles are analogous to sprinters and soccer players... Harleys are more like cage fighters and wrestlers. They don’t shy away from weight, they throw it at their detractors with surprising grace.

Typical Harley. New bike style is still behind the times and overweight. Still the weird uncle that’s not weird enough to be cool.

You didn’t miss out on anything.  It was just a fucking advertisement.  They changed a few paint colors, a few interior colors, and made CarPlay standard.  Why did we need a whole slideshow for that?  Why did we need anything, that’s some pretty vanilla “new model year” stuff.

TL;DR

Man, fuck these slideshows. I was almost about to read this. One would think G/O would get the hint after a while. I’m not minimizing my whole set-up when I can just go to C&D or the Mazda website.

This article is just one slideshow short of perfection.

I look forward to your ”shitboxing around the world” series where you land in a foriegn locale, fix up some hopeless case, and then soak in some local culture before ditching the thing.

It’s my experience that there’s only one reason a single guy suddenly starts cleaning up his act. So what’s her name?

The way I’ve been living isn’t sustainable, let’s be real.

Five years of great fun, though! Definitely lived the dream buying every car I ever wanted (I know, I have cheap taste), road-tripping, wrenching, etc etc.

But I’m gonna reel it in just a bit.

Nice article on a small detail, that’s actually a big detail, especially when you’re trying to figure out whether or not the vibrating shape behind you is a friendly state trooper.
