    Can you really blame us? Most of Lexus and Infiniti's (and Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mercedes, Hyundai, Honda, Cadillac, Subaru's...) latest efforts, are pretty much everything wrong with modern car design. They're much too big, packed with weird curves, unnecessary body lines, fake grilles, messy shapes, and are so loaded with pointless tech (not necessarily a bad thing, but electronic handbrake? Really?) that they've become appliances. Everything about their cars looks half-baked, unresolved, and overdesigned. They lack substance.

    Compare these two...

    Against this 20 year old design...

    And consider in the next 20 years which will still look good, and which will look like gaudy, faded disasters.






    "But Zappy" you exclaim, "that Infiniti looks alright!"


    Yes, I agree. It doesn't completely make me lose my will to live.


    But this does.

    Car design needs a renaissance, and I'll be bloody pleased whenever that comes around.

    It's worth it . The plot was sad , but the game itself is fun . Best game in the GTA series . I already finished the whole game and it's really challenging .

    Gabester has given us that renaissance with his SBR4. It's a small, relatively understated design with very few, if any, unnecessary lines. Plus, the fake grille on the front isn't even trying to look real, so that's one less thing to whine about :D

    I don't mind the lines unless they do not have consistency. I think it looks far nicer when they follow the length of the vehicle.

    I need help for once. I once bought a friend a soft toy cat she liked at a convention. Not something I've made any deal out of since, was just a little friendly gesture, she still has it actually, slips into the odd photo she sends me.
    today I accompanied a different friend back to hers to fetch some stuff. In her room, a larger version of the same cat toy. She apparently got it at a comic con.

    I've now asked both girls if they recognise it as a character from anywhere or anything like that, neither has ever encountered it before and each is now as intrigued as I am to the fact they essentially have 2 versions of the sa me thing. I now want to know what this really is:
    FB_20150921_00_26_12_Saved_Picture.jpg . FB_20150921_00_26_19_Saved_Picture.jpg

    - - - Updated - - -

    At least we always thought it was a cat, but then it does just seem to be a head, no pic of the bigger version, those are just photos from when first one was obtained

    I'm pretty sure its just a nemuneko plush, which basically means sleepy cat. I've seen them a few times and they come in a bunch of different colours. They both probably just ended up with the same two by luck more than anything :p

    Ha, there's a girl at my school with the initials VW, and everyone calls her Veedubs. Dunno why, it's kind of odd.

    OMG. my first 60FPS video. :). The camera is a bit shaky though. A bit of youtube post processing should do the trick. Please do check it out:

    The possibilities for captions for this photo are endless.

    2: Look man, I'm sorry I ran you over with my car. Let me just take your money and get out of here.

    Seems so, only difference between theirs is size but they do seem to come in a variation
