Bape Culture posted:Yeah because no oem car is actually good I remember speaking to a friend many many years ago, when I was newly-apprenticed as a mechanic. I said something along the lines of "those Eunos 800Ms are kind of a piece of poo poo, huh". He replied to me, "yes, but I'll let you in on a secret. They're all pieces of poo poo".

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Hot take - if you dont have the ability to keep a rotary going, you dont have the ability to engine swap. It's not like it's THAT different too. Fair, but people *have* swaps done for lesser reasons. quote:Dickheads. The only vaguely okay Ford 6 for a swap is a Barra. Well, see, we don't get Barras, so your point is moot. Honestly, it's a decent V6. What are they, 290 HP without going to the Ecoboost? Though I'd not bother since there's plenty of room for a V8, so why not just do that in the first place. Makes more sense in, say, an AE86 where a V8 requires Astroglide and a shoehorn. Though there, you... put a rotary in, duh. Humphreys posted:Oh, what printer?

Base it on one of those lovely old magna motors with the crappy rings, then your mate can pull the blowby from the crankcase breather like a multibong.

You can cache out a bowl in one blow with a 2L soda bottle with a finger sized bunghole and a smoke shop bowl+screen tapped into the lid, Pack, fill, cap, light, drain the bottle. Then grip it and rip it baybee. Basically I'm saying college me had the same displacement as my wife's Subaru.

What poo poo did I see pulling out of my area? It looked expensive, but also kinda like a BRZ with an inflation fetish. Plus, they had the rear fog light on in perfectly fine conditions.

New Aston Martin. Edit: I don't think the 2021 refresh of the F-Type has that pronounced of a rear center duckbill. McTinkerson fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Dec 6, 2020 |

It pulled out in front of me, so I only saw the side and back, but that front end is surprising, because the back is borderline and that front end is extremely smooth and understated. I'll still stick with my "BRZ with an inflation fetish" description, though.

I saw a 2020 from the back when they were new and was all "ooooooooh!" and got round to see the front and was a little disappointed. Dunno what happened there, almost like they designed it from the back and ran out of time/energy when they got to the front. It just needs a little bit more anything going on.

Doesn't look terrible from a 3/4 front view. I feel like most cars looking straight on it never really does them justice.

If it wasn't an Aston Martin it would be fine from the back, but that's not really what I think of when I think of their "style"
