If I had the option, I would prefer the Porsche 718 GT4 RS<\/a> over even the Porsche 911 GT3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More gangsta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I really love the new proportions and the color-scheme of the new 718 GT4 RS: The cement grey with the magnesium-blue wheels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 911 is a bit boring. Also, I prefer the smaller size of the 718 over the 911. Everyone has a 911 as well; better to have something a bit smaller, more different and distinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are manual shifters overrated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always been a purist with manual shifting cars over automatic ones. But … why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you look at *real* motorsport racers nowadays, it is all automatic and paddle shifting. Manual transmissions are a thing of the past, and a more romantic notion of the past. Also when watching films like racing ones, ford vs Ferrari<\/a> — it looks better on camera to shift a manual car than just use an automatic car, same with fast and the furious<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But … perhaps automatic<\/a> is superior to manual. For example with my camera, I shoot in P (program<\/a> mode), which is more or less fully automatic (auto ISO, auto focus, auto aperture and shutter speed), and I focus on what is really important: composition, framing, capturing the decisive and personally significant<\/a> moment. This is why RICOH GR III is superior to even the newest Leica M digital camera; autofocus<\/a> is superior to manual focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with all the new electric cars … there is no shifter, no stalk, no paddles necessary. It is all one integrated gear. Thus even with gas\/hybrid cars, the ideal is to get rid of the stalk all-together, something that new Genesis<\/a> cars do very well. No gas\/hybrid car needs a shifter stalk. It should be an elegant, integrated design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assuming you prefer road trips, hiking and working from your phone and being off the grid, etc, iPhone Pro<\/a> (silver, the smaller size) with medium-storage capacity seems ideal (256GB).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
