@Timoldland They really are awful. I see them all the time and I tried to appreciate the design but I just can’t. The hatchback looks considerably better.

Saw a huge number of these US versions of the Kia K4 while in California. These pics don’t show it adequately, but it has that look of a car that has been built on the platform of a much smaller one. In reality the wheels sit really far inboard of the body. Awful thing.

Aeroback Style After two oil shocks in the #1970s GM knew it had to downsize its cars. The Aeroback style was tried in 1978. It cut down ordinary cars into hatchbacks, trying to compromise. The public hated it. In 1980 the Aeroback style was dropped.

@classicretromod Nothing is more comfortable than a big 70’s or 80’s French car. Car makers should just copy that. But maybe with better plastics. 😊

@SpeedSportLife Besides the fact that it looks terrible and the functionality is undoubtedly poor, I would imagine that as the miles pile up a huge tacked on screen like that will creak and rattle over every road imperfection.

I saw this picture of a Mazda interior on my feed, and I assumed it was an exaggerated Photoshop someone made to mock the size of car screens now, but no, this is really the interior of the new Mazda CX-6e, and it makes me viscerally angry.

@reggiefilms May I ask a question? I’ve owned cars before with pano roofs and I enjoy the light during cooler months. But during the summer I always felt the heat radiating thru even with the shade closed. Do Tesla’s have shades or some other mechanism to deal with this?

I've never seen a car hold up this well after so many miles. I'm at 172k and my car is in immaculate condition. No maintenance and no problems whatsoever except minor work done before my warranty expired. I'll never drive anything other than a Tesla

@RetroCoast Most of this is incorrect. This generation came out in 1980 not 81. By 1982 the full size cars were Town Cars and the Continental name was moved to the new smaller Seville competitor.

1982 Lincoln Continental In 1981 the famous Continental was downsized to the "Panther Platform" body. But it still retained its boxy good looks. With rear wheel drive and a 302 V8 it provided power and class during the Malaise Years. #1980s

@deadlinedom @washghost1 My point is to do whatever suits you to your own home regardless of whatever a future buyer may or may not like. What might seem “top appeal” to you might seem laughably dated in a few years to a prospective buyer. So why worry about it?

@MurphyLinus605 @washghost1 We don't --- we enjoy living and also not feel like we're still in a boomer barn. My island is all marble, 14 feet long and fantastic to host. Then we got black cabinets, gold handles. Top appeal if "EVER WE WANNA SELL" Not like this old ass cigarette den in "pre upgrade"

@washghost1 Most of you don't own homes and it shows. The new = will sell. The old = I smoke cigarettes inside and my 35yo son still lives here.

@Architectolder I would keep it just as it is, except for maybe that wallpaper border. It feels warm, homey and well loved. I couldn’t care less that it isn’t modern or trendy.

@Terpin8or @ReedRo24 @JamieBonkiewicz And don’t forget cutting service that help the poor, sending people to a notorious El Salvadoran prison without due process, bombing a children’s school. The list is practically endless…Christ would be proud.

@ReedRo24 @JamieBonkiewicz And what policies are those? Discriminating against minorities? Persecuting people he doesn't like? Finding a way to enrich his friends and family? Peddling hate, intolerance and conspiracy theories? Pretty sure you have to be a shitty Christian to be cool w/ that shit.

@PooleyCol1t @gsmales I think I must be the last person alive that still likes wood trim. I’d take this any day over screens or shiny, creaky black plastic.

Even with the current price of diesel, £4,250 does not seem a lot of money for a 2-owner Mercedes CLS320 CDi with just 55k miles, especially when it’s parked outside a retired gentleman’s house and another Mercedes. #Mercedes #MercedesBenz #ModernClassics #ClassicCars

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

BREAKING: - Trump to impose 100% TARIFF on patented drugs - Trump to impose a 25% TARIFF on Copper, Aluminum and steel derivatives It’s almost as if he wants prices to be as high as possible for the average America.
