Love or hate pink, the detail on this is amazing.

Becoming a middle-aged man means spending an absurd amount of time researching whether I should get an ND3 Miata or a Ranger Raptor as my next car...

@heshie Yes but I think there’s still value in understanding what the LLM built. Easier to do in a stack you’re familiar with. I write little-to-no code these days but haven’t seen any reason to change stacks.
English
code is a level of abstraction
now with LLM’s we are ascending to the highest level of abstraction which is speech
nobody cares that you’re still writing python by hand
it was never the point

@mov_axbx I had a stick 430 and a 458. That motor is among the greatest ever made.

Contemplating putting this F136 engine on the shop floor into a Lexus in front of a CD009 sequential before the 2027 rally season.
It’s the crossplane Mas version as opposed to the one in the Ferrari 458, otherwise identical

What was a pretty poorly kept secret - the ICE 718 replacement is dead

@MainStLender @eastdakota My strong opinion is with the laughable notion that electric is better for “95% of vehicle use cases”.
English
@aaronpardes @eastdakota So why the strong opinion on an item that cannot win your buy regardless?
English
I find all this so silly. Electric is simply better tech for 95% of vehicle use cases. Why are we burning so many cycles trying to replicate the past?

Lexus says its upcoming all-electric LFA supercar will use vibrations and other sensory feedback to mimic the feel of a combustion engine. "We’re not just wanting to replicate the sound of the engine: we want to redesign the sound itself so the car feels more alive and authentically connected." The production version of the car is expected to be unveiled at the end of this year/early next year. Concept unveiled in Dec 2025:

@aaronpardes @eastdakota Jesus would lose his shit if he heard someone call explosions inside an internal combustion engine "a soul".
English
@aaronpardes @eastdakota So you gonna buy one of these right?
English
@MattGriscom @eastdakota No, real noise (and the toxic stink)!
English
@aaronpardes @eastdakota You think fake noises give "soul?" Or, is it the toxic stink and high maintenance costs?

Buy an Acura NSX. Go into debt if you have to.

I bought an NSX at 23 and 1) made money owning it for 2.5 yrs and 2) used it to partially springboard me into a career in Motorsport

PSA: The marginal utility of a Hellcat at 21 years old is exponentially higher than an additional $1.1M at retirement. Every 65 year old will agree with this. (not financial advice)

Friday afternoon I sent out invites to try the new thing and I already have a bunch of good feedback and some bugs to fix.
Target is two weeks to go live with “customer” 1 🚀

@aaronpardes @eastdakota I don’t want to drive. I want to ride in a souless appliance that avoids accidents.

@xtrachromosome9 @Privatejetman @zeroxjackson The vast majority of Lotus cars in the US have a Toyota motor. Relatively speaking they are very cheap to keep running.
English
@Privatejetman @aaronpardes @zeroxjackson A Lotus or a cheap Gallardo would cost the same in service monthly as a 30% APR Hellcat😂
