They can’t do anything interesting with cars anymore and all cars look the same and are the same, so the only thing they can do is make the logo badges bigger. I saw an infinity with the logo badge that was nearly the size of a basketball. it was insane. Obviously the new Mercedes badges are also huge and light up as well. Seems that all cars will be going this way shortly, there is nothing else they can do anyways they are basically all the same car now.

All new trucks look the same. Aside from the ridgeline which looks like something Homer Simpson designed

my dog died im sad posted:Did you buy a new car today OP? No op... this was a car I saw in a parking lot. I definitely don’t have the “scratch” for a new car, much less a luxury brand. But by the time I have the money I guess it will be easy to see what brand the car is, as car brand badges are getting freakin huge and I don’t know that we’ll see the trend reverse any time soon....

The good news: cars are getting more horse power The bad news: most that horsepower will be used to carry the weight of badges, which are huge now

Designers and engineers are probably making GBS threads their pants with all that crossover poo poo because you can hit all the benchmarks with a watermelon seed better than a jellybean and everything doesn’t have to approach the compact car jellybean oval singularity.

Anyone can rent or lease a "luxury" car, it's all about the genuine contempt you can feel for the unfortunate that is difficult to fake convincingly.

I for real watched a car get repossessed at happy hour tonight. It was like some old Toyota. Like if you are going to drive a car you can't afford before it gets taken back at least drive something nice.

I drive a dinged-up, 16-year-old car in the same city as Three Olives and I'm going to drive this glorious bastard until it dies. He cannot stop me. And I can afford a new car, but one of the reasons I can afford it is because I drive dinged-up, 16-year-old cars. I hope it upsets other people on the road.

I'm going to get one of those old wooden figureheads rendered in fibreglass so I can mount it on my car. Maybe a big titty mermaid or a buff dude with a trident, I haven't decided yet.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area has to be one of the most car-insecure places on the planet outside of maybe some of those new-money Arab megacities on the Persian Gulf. One issue is that the city is very status conscious owing to it being Dallas-Fort Worth. It desperately wants to be a very modern city but the (wealthier) citizens are acutely aware the rest of the country thinks they're a bunch of hicks with no actual culture. Of course that insecurity also helped drive the city's development since there's really no reason for the city to exist where it does. So it has to sell itself really hard. It's not a port, for instance. And where people from New York or Los Angeles come from all over the world, Dallas people come from places like Decatur, Kaufman, Corsicana, and Sherman. That's why Three Olives is so associated with his former condo. Dallas people (the ones with money anyways) can't talk about anything else but their condos, because condos can be bought and sold -- and buying and selling is how the city got real big in the first place. Dallas people talk about how big and impressive their art museums are, but not the actual art in them. This is also why Dallas (the suburb of Irving specifically) is the capital of subprime auto lending. Because even if you don't have any money, you need to drive a nice-looking car without any dings in it. But not me. Not in my dinged-up old car. I drive it down this city's roads, and people think I'm crazy, but in their look of horror at me I see something resembling... respect.

I mean this post is simply remarkable:Three Olives posted:I for real watched a car get repossessed at happy hour tonight. It was like some old Toyota. But in reality they all make $30,000 per year and are driving cars they can't afford anyways. The joke is on them, though, because my car is worthless.

And it's just the loving word "RAM." Like gently caress you dodge. Make it look cool. If it's not gonna be a image of two Rams head butting each other then at least use a font that make it look like a metal band name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Puppets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_in_Blood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Halen_II Edit: Look at that 'M.' Look at that loving 'M" that middle is all flat, and the lines that lead down into it are the right size to be too thin and too fat. That loving guy who designed that font style started with them trying to design the letter 'A' in the middle, then put all his work into making that 'R' and then gave up on that 'M'. mazzi Chart Czar fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Jan 23, 2018 |
