The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Carpe Mortem]

My boyfriend has raced at a dragstrip nearby and we go to a lot of car shows. Like, more car shows than concerts. But it's mainly aesthetics for me as well, sometimes even audible aesthetics, because bruh listen to a mustang boss sometime. I'm just a car guy's girlfriend who really enjoys a nice body with a bomb flake job and uterus-shaking revs.

And linear builds especially. I like cars boxy, low, and long. It's really upsetting that everything is so bubbly and smooth nowadays. I understand why, aerodynamics probably, but sharp edges just look so much better. And you can only get that in a classic.

Also good to see you back TB, I missed seeing someone post who has emotions. Misguided though they may be. We're all dead inside here and you make the place feel alive.

uterus-shaking revs.

You should be a poet.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I am! I think you'd appreciate this Fury Road commentary I dug up from facebook.

"WITNESS ME!

Damn, that movie made me proud to be a child of the auto industry. Engines and grit, pure filthy rock n roll horsepower and fuel drenched fucking redemption racing the vicious rotation of hot gears and dusty wheels to the chrome studded tits of Valhalla.

Still feeling flushed."

I actually saw that on Facebook when you reshared it. Made me want to rewatch it but I don't fuckin' own it yet.

It really was a great movie. I loved the war party chase scene.

DETROIT — The Obama administration issued on Tuesday the final version of new rules that require automakers to nearly double the average fuel economy of new cars and trucks by 2025.

The reason cars all look the same now is there are not multiple ways to achieve peak drag reduction.

no one cares how fast your car is dude and you seem really extra proud of yourself about it. it's kind of funny and pathetic. it's like an ant thinking he's an elephant or something because he's lifting a bigger crumb of bread. I could easily go and buy the same car but i think it's a waste of money.

Hoe's dig his car, it's a big deal, they care how fast it is.

Welcome back TB! You were definitely missed metal discussions have been slow as fuck without someone to stir the pot a bit.

@TechnicalBarbarity

Can I see a picture of your Corvette? This is the first time that I'm interested in what you're posting about.
