i like cars! i write a blog: https://petrospect.blog/ i’m on YouTube: https://youtu.be/a6xbh20ntfg jalopnik featured commenter (once) ;) full time enthusiast, weird car devotee 🌈 lemme borrow your cars! 1CG: '91 BMW 316i. used to own: '07 Golf TSI

Curborough today. Excuse wind noise and general jank, hastily duct taped the Insta 360 to the wind deflector (which, unsurprisingly, is subject to wind) as I didn't have a suitable helmet mount. 1:06.1, so 3.1sec quicker than I managed in the Rallye.

I suppose we could take this to extremes. How about 16 cyls and 1496cc? That's 0.0935 litres per. Voila: the BRM V16. • 7.5:1 CR • Centrifugal supercharger (max 83 psi) • 2x SU 3" carbs • 2V/4 cam, gear-driven • Alu block/head, iron liners • Dry sumped • 600bhp (peak) @ 12k rpm • 278lb ft @ 11k

I think it’s time to back small-displacement engines. Nothing over 0.5 liters per cylinder!

I'll start trickling out what I saw in BG and did (those who follow me on Insta got a sneak peek) but I must say--I'm so deeply in love with my friend's 350z Nismo it's not even funny

My light blue 1991 BMW 316i E36 sedan parked ass to ass with a red '08 350z Nismo, yes, a US import car in Sofia, Bulgaria.

I remain skeptical that this is actually undercover captcha-like training all over again. You want to go "YEAH, FUCK YOU AND YOUR SLOP" and instead you're training them to better make it unrecognisable, or to hide it from you so you don't comment negatively, etc. etc. Remember they're all evil.

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.
