Long-time car designer now in charge of EV navigation for a tech company. Dutchie by choice. Passionate about cars, design, and the points where they intersect.
I use a hand grinder for some semblance of consistency in my grind without the horrific scream of a cheap electric one. My morning head can’t take that noise. But I’m a V60 user, so I don’t need espresso-grade fine grind.

Well hey, the chairman is also vocally supporting fascism these days too, so may I gently say “fuck Toyota, I hope this fails spectacularly”? bsky.app/profile/geek...

I used to do it yearly in my BMW, but in my current car I use CarPlay (or just the phone) instead. OEMs charge too damn much for it now that it’s “free” on a phone, but they also charge too much for connected systems! It’s honestly pretty amazing how good offline satnav is though.

That you call it an emergency brake instead of a parking brake says so much already! I always use it on my car here in NL, would never think to not use it.

I lived in Torino for a year in 1998 and I couldn’t believe the transformation when I visited post Olympics. It was always a walkable city due to the arcades along the boulevards, but the open piazzas are stunning. It used to be crammed full of cars on every corner of every street.

Technically still part of The Netherlands, just its own country now! Curious to hear more about it.

Willemstad looks cool! Lots of cheap flights from here in NL makes it a pretty interesting getaway.

Are we sure this wasn’t designed by IdeA Institute? It has a hell of a lot of their signature style.

Big wagons are a market that’s mostly filled by premium cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo) in Europe and I think the Opel was actually too big for its price category. Just not a lot of demand there, sort of a niche of a niche.
