Blip: Look Down
Blip: Look Down-July 2024

Image for article titled Blip: Look Down

This 1958 Ford of Britain dashboard, used on the Anglia (you know,) and Prefect, is unusual in that it’s got sort of the opposite of a heads-up display. The instruments are set low, facing up, so you need to cast your eyes pretty far down to read them. The look is cool and makes for a nice low dashline, but I think the amount of travel your eyes need to do from instruments to windshield is pretty significant, which isn’t, you know, great.

Nirvana — 'Territorial Pissings'

The 2020 Honda Civic Type R Is Going To Get Fed-In Engine Noise
If you asked any automotive enthusiast their favorite part about a vehicle, their answer wouldn’t be something trivial like a “manual transmission.” It’d definitely be fed-in engine noise, which also happens to be a new feature on the 2020 . Just kidding about that first part. But the latter...
