Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Nah, the cars are still pretty cool from the engineering side. Not disagreeing with the rest though

bro can’t even:

  1. spell LeMans
  2. has no clue how carbon and triple plated clutch works,
  3. and appreciate the fact that super cars have terrible turning radius....

probably doesn't know shit about cars making a stupid dumb statement like that. there are so many modern analog cars that have not only more soul, but outperform any older cars by every single metric in terms of reliability, engineering, safety, comfort etc. Case in point : LFA, Pagani Zonda, 911 GT3 RS, Nissan GTR and MANY MANY more.

No, he spelled LeMons correctly, Enzo.

you're phrasing it as if it's common knowledge and everybody should know some shitty local race from the other side of the pond.

you could probably tell judging by the tone he's probably one of those insufferable boomer right? and you know i'm right, how can anyone claim that 1960s cars are better than what car manufacturers have put out in the past 20-30 years? If he's talking from the point of nostalgia it's OK, we all love classic cars. But to dismiss modern cars because apparently people that built them died is just stupid.

Is there something like Cars for Dummies? All of this sounds really cool but I've no idea what any of it means.
