    chaozbandit got a reaction from Whiskers in 2015 Mustang what do you guys think?   
    The new 2015 Ford Mustang has been leaked here and there for the past week now, so if you've been following cars at all you should already have seen it before the NDA was released earlier today.
     
    Anyways, I like it. I'm a huge fan of the Aston Martin design philosophy that Ford has taken with their recent cars (ergo Fusion, now Mustang) though I like it more when it's on the actual British luxury piece. As for the car itself, I'm really digging the fast back design. The Mustang two- and three- generations ago weren't my cup of tea, but ever since the last gen refresh, I've started liking them again. Fastback designs are one of the best things to come out of muscle cars, and I really missed the Mustang having a "true" fastback shape from a few decades ago. The power often overtook the chassis, but the changes they've made for this new gen should please any moderate car enthusiast. For those who don't know, this new Mustang finally comes with independent rear suspension (+100000000000 to modern suspension setups, it's about damn time) so the car should be more usable.. everywhere, really.
     
    As for engines, it's obvious that Ford's inline-4 EcoBoost motor (as fantastic as it is) will be available, along with the traditional V6 / V8 offerings. IIRC, that was a 5.0L V8 I saw in the leaked images. 
     
    As for the lines, a lot of the press images shown recently have been in bad lighting / contrast / angles / whatever. It'd be unfair to put it out of mind this early; much like the C7, give it some time (or see it in person) and your opinions may change very quickly.
     
    TL:DR. <3 Fastback, <3 IRS, +10000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

    XSPC have some really nice white rads (though the fins are still black, which isnt an issue since contract makes it look better overall). I'm sure you can find some white tubing from the likes of Primochill. Fittings could be black just to off-set all the white.

    chaozbandit got a reaction from flibberdipper in 2015 Mustang what do you guys think?   
    Ford has adopted a new design philosophy that obviously takes a few notes here and there from Aston Martin's design studios, starting with the Mondeo (Fusion in the Americas). Hence why a lot of their newer cars will look relatively similar (think Mazda KODO).

    It wasn't his car, the Carrera GT and a bunch of other Porsches were present for a charity event. It was however an event for his company.

    Regardless, Walker has entertained millions both on and off screen, regular movie-goers and automotive tuning giants. My thoughts go out to his family and friends; he will be missed greatly.

    As a well known, well versed car enthusiast, there isn't a better way to go out than in one of the greats of our time, as tragic as that may sound. For those who haven't witnessed Walker in the wild that is the tuned car scene, below is a video of him in Japan paying a visit to one of the best JDM tuners in the world. Let us cherish the moment's he's been able to give us over the past decade. The Walker off-screen is one most people I bet haven't bothered checking out.

    chaozbandit reacted to LinusTech in No more unboxings in Linus Tech Tips in 2014?   
    Closing this thread since I'll no longer be monitoring it. I've read through all the feedback and will carefully consider it. Thanks so much guys.
     
    I'm not turning this thread into a poll because I intend to carefully read the replies of every single person who posts in the next couple of days.
     
    I won't make a decision like this without consulting the community that made us one of the top technology channels on YouTube.
     
    I am considering completely abandoning unboxings in 2014 to focus on reviews, guides, Tech Quickie, and our upcoming daily news show.
     
    What this means first of all is LESS CONTENT. Unboxings take a fraction as long as all that other stuff, so we won't be able to cover nearly the breadth of products that we used to do...
     
    What it also means is MORE QUALITY and MORE FOCUS. We'll be able to really spend time getting familiar with things before we show it to you and really zone in on the stuff that we feel is most relevant, exciting and interesting.
     
    Please let me know your thoughts.
