22.11.2025 13:53 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hey the w198 was no slouch but a better car as a cabrio. Having now engineered lifting doors I feel they should only exist because they're better in that application not because gimic

Yeah cars that hit the bottom of their depreciation hard (like my Citroen 2cv) definitely get a reputation that's usually due to previous owners lack of care and maintenance. I was referring more to the family resemblance
13.11.2025 16:12 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yeah the green, smoked lights and black wheels can get in a bin but they had a distinct visual style to them and I respect it
13.11.2025 16:07 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Thanks Piers hugs back
13.11.2025 16:05 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I've always liked them then again I like G35s too
13.11.2025 13:35 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0I've been feeling super burnt out and stressed but a couple of days off (all be it spaced out), a hair cut, shave and I'm feeling much more like my old self again.
13.11.2025 13:34 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0No not really but they are cool and that's a spectacular colour
13.11.2025 13:27 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I remember getting underground for my 13th birthday
13.11.2025 08:16 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Great example although I think it's more akin to autocorrect and might do amazing things for CFD and production engineers but I'm acoustic till the end
12.11.2025 20:29 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0You need it because digital design has no sense of scale and proportion
12.11.2025 19:23 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The problem is AI can't innovate only iterate so it's a really fast road to homogeny
12.11.2025 19:21 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This sounds like the second car for the cybertruck enthusiast but I genuinely don't think we have time for it if we want to protect what we love as an art form
