That Novelty Cup you had to have on vacation, you'll never use it again.

@RickiTarr It is way too soon after a tragic loss for me to even entertain this nonsense.
Good day!

Today I'm framing up this picture of my folks where my Mom looks like the femme fatale in a 70s crime thriller, and my Dad is the country rube that she's going to frame for murder.

Morning everyone.
Let's do a movie today.

What is the coolest actor/car combination in a movie?

Second choice would be Harvey Keitel/NSX in Pulp Fiction.

Peggy Noonan thinks culture is dark and ugly without realizing that culture is a comment on and reflection of the dark, ugly society she and her ilk are destroying. They don't do irony.

@jeffjarvis I am disappointed to discover that Peggy Noonan is still alive, and that people are still interested in giving her column inches in a major newspaper.

They really like the new EV macan. https://youtu.be/aG6EZr6uP00

It sounds like they were paid four million dollars to praise this thing. He says the comfort mode with air ride is incredibly luxurious and in sport mode it feels like a super car. “It’s that special… It’s really that transformative”

It sounds like the does everything car now does everything better.

@Mark

Not my thing, but I'm sure it is great.

I'm a little apprehensive about the upcoming Boxster EV.
Hoping maybe they turn it down a few notches.
This whole 600hp+ car thing is totally out of hand.

Ha! My Yaris is faster than lots of the "performance" cars that I grew up with.

Everyone's scale of usable power is so screwed up now.

Rented The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray version of "Drive My Car.” Looking forward to this one. Anyone seen it?

@Dylan

Loved it, but I feel like I should have probably brushed up on my Chekhov plays before watching it.

It is loooong too. Almost solid hour before the opening credits if I remember correctly.

Sometimes being a car guy is incredibly embarrassing. Grateful for all of my weird car pals for not being like this.

GT racing is superior to F1.

Why? Beats me. Cooler cars is a huge factor of course. But then I feel almost all track racing, and of course any kind of rally, is superior to F1.

@WhyNotZoidberg

The actual racing is better nowadays for sure.
Although it will never be as popular because it lacks the soap opera parts of F1.

I’m super curious to try out how this “gear simulator” feels!

“Hyundai Changed The Game - An "8-Speed" Electric Car!”

@drahardja

The car is definitely not my thing, but I kinda love the fake gearbox.
It's super silly and fun and most importantly, you can turn it off when you just want a normal EV.

As a professional jewelry person I'd recommend Zuck try being a brooch guy.

Nobody trusts a thin gold chain guy.
Everyone loves brooch guy tho.

Although this theory has not been tested on guys that facilitate genocide.

If you had the option of a free electric vehicle, which would you choose... and WHY?

(Assume all of the vehicles are priced identically, have similar charging performance and range per charge. Yes, this is entirely hypothetical, but we're working on size here.

What is the most 80s car that isn't a DeLorean or 308?

Trying to think of a contemporary sedan that wouldn't be improved by having a hatch instead of a trunk.

The Charger I suppose...

I’m so fucking pissed and here to vent and ask for advice. I just got my third major bubble on my vredesteins. Besides constant bubbles from potholes the tires are great.
I need to either replace all of them with michilin cross climates or I can downsize the wheels. Only problem is tire options suck downsized. Best option is DWS 06 which are great tires but not great in the snow which is the point of the AWD car.

Basmitharts,
@Basmitharts@weird.autos avatar

@Mark I'm always pro-downsizing but I always run summers year round so have nothing to add on tire choice.

I saw the in totality! It was one of the most arresting things I’ve ever seen.

There was a small crowd at the park we settled down in. As the sun faded, people began to applaud. That quickly erupted into a roar of shouts & cries of excitement as the sun transitioned to totality. Beyond special.

I’m HYPED about how my photos came out.

More thoughts and photos to come.
