I got into concept cars the other night, as well.

The two that really stuck with me. The 021c concept, because it could easily be a 2023 EV concept.




And the ford Maya concept because holy moly.





It was a production ready concept because they were planning to produce them at 50/day. The production version was going to be mid engine with the 3.0 yamaha.

I specifically ripped the video from YouTube so they wouldn't even get a view because of this.

Unfortunately, I'm too deep into the series to give it up completely.

Patreon doesn't have any sort of video hosting. It's always on YT - the video is just set to private while it's patrons-only.

Fran of FranLab has been going through her film archive and digitizing and putting some of it on YouTube. This GM film from 1982 "The Gasoline Engine" explains how gas engines work has some great 80s cut away art and animation. Reminds me of watching films or video tapes in the classroom when I was a kid. Despite its age it'd be a great primer for anyone to watch to learn about how gas engines work and what the basic components are.

Some of her films are being copyright trolled and taken down, so copying it may not hurt if you think you'd watch it again.

What I am alluding to is how to find the private links (unless it's as easy as someone leaking the link)

I tweeted to Richard that I was cancelling my Patreon because of him being a dipshit and he straight up told me to gently caress off so I have no problem no longer supporting them in anyway. I'll eat a probe for this but Binky is no longer awesome car stuff even if it has been going on for like 10 years now, I'm done with it. Nik is an enabler for not telling him to gently caress off since he's the only one doing social media.
