I went to high school with a kid whose parents were extremely well off and he decided he wanted to be a car dealer too. His dad flexed his networking and got him his first job. Now he sells lambos and Porsches, seems like a sweet gig. Though his wife would be hotter without the massive fake breasts! I still remember junior year as soon as he got his license he got a brand new wrx.

I remember reading in Motor Trend similar issues something like 10-15 years ago, I wanna say it was the then-new C6 but I could be mis remembering. "Just test driving your car for a magazine, ma'am!" Never change, GM.

Every episodes of project binky just gets more and more confusing as I try and parse what the hell the actual final vision is. I really thought it was going to be a stripped down rally/tarmac car for quite a while but now..

They want it as a daily, thus putting in things like air conditioning, electric windows, central locking and other items that the Mini never had at the time.

I really thought it was going to be a stripped down rally/tarmac car for quite a while but now.. They've said it's just gonna be a road car a bunch in the videos, since trying to make it actually race-worthy is genuine insanity. They did put in plates in case they want to go back and add a cage though. It is a little bit disappointing seeing dingy grey-beige plastic door bits going on though. I was afraid they'd go to that route when they already used the door handle mechanism from a late-model car and kept all the fake plastic chrome stuff, but maaan it's really gross in like that 00s restomod way.

Yeah I initially had that thought too, but my guess is they'll wrap it in some fancy material and it'll look nice. You can make a plastic piece look nice with enough stuff to cover up the 90s.

It's only a matter of time until that crazy accessories system fails and leaves the car stranded. Unless your "daily driver" is under ~1k per year.

They've been saying "comfortable for daily use", doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the primary daily driver, just that you could.

There's also the douchebag that put cutouts on a ZL1 and did a high speed run on a public highway with his GF in the car with the cutouts open, and the side curtain bags popped just from the exhaust noise (plus OnStar calling). ... with a welded cage in the car. Those side curtain bags ain't never getting replaced. ![]()
