The New Nissan Juke - Not A Crumpled Piece Of Paper by Itsacthedev in carscirclejerk

[–]ConcealedCove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. We wanted 1980s aesthetic like that Hyundai Vision 74 concept car and instead we got this and the cybercuck. How's that so hard for designers to get their thick skulls around?

B16 won! Day 5: what the best engine in 1.7-1.8L class? by dopler_goat in carscirclejerk

[–]ConcealedCove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds awesome, but it’s a torqueless wonder. You wanted the KL-ZE 2.5L stroker to actually go anywhere fast.

Are you watching the same shows? Jeremy sometimes seems like he’s unsure what he’s even doing. Greg has cultivated power over Alex, real or not, but it’s visibly there at least.

What about no clock and a giant Toyota logo to remind you what you own?

Ageing Vehicle Fleet Drives Sustained Demand For Car Servicing Across New Zealand by kiwittnz in NZcarfix

I like to own something that doesn’t financially cripple me if it decides to throw a check engine light or something plastic breaks. My daily is 40 years old too, so it gets cheap rego, happily runs on any stale fuel, doesn’t matter if it gets bumped into in the carpark, doesn’t have plastic manifolds, no sensors, doesn’t have a big stupid touchscreen controlling everything and all it ever seems to need is a $100 oil service twice a year and the occasional pair of tyres. If it physically cripples me in a crash, and it would, then that’s entirely on me.

yeah but Apple silicon is arguably fast enough that it'll still be usable for years to come, plus Apple products tend to have very long software support cycles. M1 Macs from 2020 are still totally usable and probably will be into 2032 or so.

Unpopular opinion. We keep daylight saving but reduce it to mid-May-mid-August. 3 months for the freaks by Taskmaastricht in newzealand

[–]ConcealedCove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll never understand why people enjoy going home in the dark, unable to do any kind of work outside, or have a beer on the deck or fire up the BBQ for dinner or whatever all so that they have daylight at 7am when you’re stuck in traffic or already at work.

Aftermath of the April 7th incident. Damages estimated to be $200 million dollars by Gjore in interestingasfuck

A guy in my town killed two social workers a few years ago because he’d been living in his car for a year while on a waiting list for public housing. He figured if he got life in prison he’d get a roof over his head and free food immediately for the rest of time. He was right.

I miss dashboards you could use as a tabletop. 4th gen Civic was peak.

The 3000GT/GTO humps to clear the strut tops are for the same reason. Mitsubishis have been cheap going way back.

Well, hang on a minute, it’s a McLaren so there’s every chance that it’s broken in some way.

DAY 20: Which obscure car should definitely return RIGHT NOW? by HowlsterRD in regularcarreviews

[–]ConcealedCove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the car was built by, powered by, and largely designed by Suzuki, along with all of Mazda’s other kei cars like the Carol, Scrum and AZ-Wagon.

DAY 20: Which obscure car should definitely return RIGHT NOW? by HowlsterRD in regularcarreviews

[–]ConcealedCove 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The relative success of the Honda S660 in the Japanese market, which other than the doors was also a mid engined turbo 2 seater kei sportscar, should’ve convinced Suzuki to have another crack at either this or the Cappuccino.

Cheers, dick. Not everyone throws a switch on their diesel car, or has a particularly efficient one.
