…I admire those who read and respond to all the comments but recommend you don’t bother at all. Skim once a month or ask a friend to help. You don’t owe anyone (esp. a YouTube commenter) your emotional labour/peace online in 2026–> Same goes for these replies ;)

I’m encouraging you to post again. but know that people watch the videos *because* they’re already interested in the car/topic. Having a contrary opinion beyond “this is good” will therefore attract comments from people who aren’t aware they’re venting their own reactions, not responding to yours…

Would it help more to know why they do it, or what to do about it?

Imagining a world where you get a draft letter to "defend your country" next year, but instead of going to war it's to force you into a ten year lease on a base model Chevy Traxx

Would swap a Pentastar 3.6 and an 8HP so I could actually drive it 100,000kms

I don't think last Friday's Weird Car Of The Day from @banovsky.com has received enough attention or love. IAD produced some cool stuff to show off their skills, and the Alien is right up near the top of the list. (This is a Friday post, so paywall-free.) www.weirdcaroftheday.com/iad-alien/

The joy for some is in acquiring things, not in experiencing them, because if they allowed themselves to feel actual joy their entire worldview around meritocracy and needing to earn happiness would collapse. Not using the car is the flex that keeps them stuck in “success”

Old news but thinking about how that revived Jensen Interceptor, track car especially, really hits the "don't give a toss" bingo. Long-dead British brand! Slightly weird shape! Track car that nobody will really use! A thousand horsepower! Off-the-shelf parts!

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

Nice ones! The trick I really liked waaaay back in the day was shining a light on a white bristol board to get more spread from a 3-colour flashlight. Also straight from the camera, one exposure. I must try again!

Hyperbole my friend. Both are very unlike, with hot garbage on top that pulls them toward one another. Box fenders, proportion of hood to A-pillar, the edge defining the rear quarter panel and bumper, upper rear spoiler 8s aren’t meant to have front engine, rear drive proportions even if EV imho

It has come to my attention that Renault is trying to revive Gordini with a concept that somehow looks like a ErreErre Fuoriserie but worse? As a result, I can no longer be truthful when making the statement, “All Gordinis are brilliant”. Thank you for your attention on this important matter.

I think one reason, and a grim one, that energy-limiting diseases get so little attention (aside from Covid denialism) is that it’s hard to capitalize on those of us with them. We are mostly very poor because our working ability is limited, we have little buying power and thus,little lobbying power.

I'm 4 seconds into a video on Bentley's small SUEV and, already, planetary annihilation feels like a better way to both begin and end this day. Where does one even begin with this? And I've not even seen the side or back yet. Oy. *rubs temples*
