Listening to the new era of F1 cars that sound like coffee grinders, I have to ask...

...who is this for?

D&D developers: we invented Cloud of Daggers as a cautionary tale
Not satisfied with rolling back vaccines and climate crisis prevention, the Trump administration has invested $80 billion in KNIFE CLOUD, a cloud that throws knives at humans. It's the invention of tech bros who fund Trump & his allies' campaigns. Getting sky-stabbed is the future, let's embrace it

F1 won't be good until they also add a hyperefficient steam-based energy recovery system to the already overcomplicated power units.

The drivers should also have to live code the ECU during each race. Sure, it would be a few hours after "lights out" before anyone moved, but imagine the spectacle...

BYD sent out invites for a new car launch with one day's notice. Oh, and it's on Valentine's Day.

What does that say about automotive journalists?

Even if you're free, you couldn't possibly attend...

Makes a great Christmas present for your friends who drive Teslas:

A car with electric doors that cooks you alive! What a concept.

Tesla never should have been allowed to sell these deathtraps in the first place.

In a just world, they'd be forced into a buyback and every single one would be crushed. So much deadlier than Dieselgate, and yet...

sorry Ikea, I think I can do better

In 1965 you could work for an obscure Australian motoring magazine and buy a sprawling three-bedroom house 20 minutes from the city on a single income.

Ikea has a way of selling you the most basic shit while making you excited about it.

The desk upgrade I've been longing for. Only took me four years to install a headphone hook.

This is great.

Side note: influencers hold their Rode lapel mics because they actually sound kinda shit if you mount them on your lapel

Try and figure out an accurate price and options list for an average car sold in 1993.

Sometimes it's just barely doable, sometimes it is near impossible

Anyway, ask me why I left my last job...
Attempting to do the most base level academic history using primary sources on well documented subjects in a time period as recent as the 1980s will quickly dissuade you of the idea that everything is online.
A lot of people really don’t realize that there is a vast amount of information out there that is not online and plausibly never will be, or can’t be.

Sadly for fans, the engine did not get upgraded to the V12 the concept had, but the standard Jaguar/TWR 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine was thoroughly upgraded for both the C and S versions.

The XJ220 S was improved by 138 hp over the XJ220, giving a maximum output of a whopping 680 hp.

i mean, cool, fair, but those cross-Tasmanners don't even have an air force
Senator Don Farrell said it best when he stated: “I’m not sure that the United States is our most trusted ally. I would have said New Zealand, in the whole history of time — I would have said our closest international ally is New Zealand.”

A fluro yellow Fender Partscaster. Given to me by a racetrack pal after thieves stole every guitar from my house.

Lost:
Fender California
Fender Jaguar MIJ 2009
Chinese Strat clone
Kramer Imperial (hardtail modded, painted Mazda Aege Blue)

Fun fact: you can use auto vinyl to wrap your guitar
