  1. Me and my coworker(a huge corvette fan) had a huge argument over this the other day; I really think everything has it's place. For the future of transportation self driving isn't leaveing, I think 20->50 years in the future human driving will be illegal, or at least beginning to be phased out. That said, petrolheads will NEVER give up their babies, so I think roadways for fun, or mabye even just tracks designed espically for people who want the thrill of "manual" driving are going to rise up. As much as I love the idea of a model 3 or such taking me everywhere whilst I did all my homework I was supposed to do last night, I would do unspeakable things to get behind the wheel of a hypercar(or even something like a hellcat/demon honestly) and cause some rukus.
  2. Just did a quick youtube of eric the car guy, any order you'd recommend in particular for his playlist? I'd hate to jump into the engine and find out I should have learned about transmission first.
  3. New to cars! (Only took me 4603 pages to find this thread!) I got a 2011 ford fusion back in November, it's my very first car so yay debt but also yay something of my own! Huge fan of ford shifting the fusion toward electric , and espically fords commitment to a self driving cruise control for it's 2021 model year hopefully! With it I'm really growing to want to learn more about cars, I started watching top gear/the grand tour, and the Mclaren p1 is just so freakin BA. But a more realastic dream car is I'd love to get a model 3! A small favor to ask, does anyone know any good youtube series to learn more about how cars work? I know the basics of moar hp is bettar, and basically anything you can pick up from watching 10 seasons of "the trio" praddle around like idiots, but I really don't understand 90% of the beauty of these machines, other than what I catch from threads like this :DD
  4. I also kinda think just because it's stiill early tech doesn't mean its bad. The guy I mentioned today litterly tapped his watch to the pinpad and it went. Sure it saves you 20 seconds, but with how long the chip transactions are taking, plus the amount of times people get pissy about the chips buzzer it's pretty legit he could do that. The real big thing for me is that ability to talk into it as if it was a phone. My car isn't bluetooth, so I could really use it, and on top of that it'd be nice for music or whatever should I not want to use my phone. Overall I just feel it's best to get used to it now.
  5. So at work today one of my clients showed me his Gear S3 fronteir edition and it had both samsung pay and an actual microphone/speaker combo. It was badass and honestly I totally need one in my life now. Anyone know of anything similar? I had moto360 but my refurb unit had a 3 hour battery life and went from "turns on moodily" to "I'm not going to turn on".
  6. Going to miss Nicky V a lot, great dude. But who was chlesea? I don't remember her.
