Having driven a Diablo through city traffic I can tell you the reason you've never seen anyone commuting one is that they are an unmitigated trashfire to drive anywhere except a track.

I was gifted a track experience with a Diablo. And while my inner 12 year old screamed in joy for a week, my adult brain realized quickly that it was designed for a track and taking it anywhere else was just loving stupid. Still fun on the track though.

Never mind the fact you're ruining your nice lawn as well, so now you have a brand new totaled car and you need to replace most of your grass.

But hey, Youtube views!

I dunno. his lawn, his mini.... I doubt his YT payouts will match the value of both, but it sure doesn’t seem like he’ll go broke over it :shrug:

(I agree with you that wrecking a brand new car and a lawn for youtube vids is stupid though)

I mean... with all that smoke after he starts it back up.. then the cameras setup to see the smoke in the house at the end..

It was a single quick roll - FFS it was probably still running until he hit the ground. That looked like steam more than anything, and there's no way he popped the head gasket from a quick roll. I'd expect a bit of oil smoke, but not that much from such a quick roll.

Shame about the car, but he does seem like a proper idiot.

I saw a genesis G70 at the gas station this morning. It has this weird shiny fake grille patch thing in the middle of the grille:


Lmao that has to be the worst active cruise control sensor camo ever. Yup just print the grille pattern over it, I'm sure nobody will notice the difference!

That is incredibly bad. I don't think any of then stand up to close scrutiny but you don't usually notice on the street, are any of them actually good or hidden? I have to assume if they're good I haven't seen them at all.

Lexus puts them in the Lexus logo in the front grill (which looks different if the car has it, so easy way to spot the options).

Sure but the grille-less Teslas look terrible from the front.

Mazda and Nissan hide it behind the logo so it isn't particularly noticeable

It actually gave me a good laugh when BMW presented their new gigantic grill on the 4series, and explained that it's a "smart grill" and incorporates all these sensors and stuff.

Yes...yes, that's the main reason the grill is that large...gotta put the sensors somewhere

At least on the CX-n cars the front badge is definitely concealing the active cruise control sensors.

I hate it on my mazda3 because I means I can’t do anything like swap the grill for a badgeless or even just paint the emblem without being worried about breaking the drat stuff. I also hate how the giant plastic shield over the emblem makes it look, I’m not sure it’s really any better than the fat square.

I actually like them. It reminds me of the scene in the Matrix where Neo's mouth fuses shut. That look boring from every other angle, but the front looks neat.

My 2020 Si has it behind the left bumper. Only way you know is by reading the manual saying don’t put anything in front of it.
