Student renders Alfa build this ‘6C’ supercar. Should Alfa build it?

It is in fact, a design study by a chap called Alex Imnadze, a student of the highly regarded IED Torino (who were 2005 winners of the Ferrari World Design Contest and runners up in 2011), and proud fan of Alfa and Pininfarina’s rich design heritage.

He says he cooked up this rendering - which is no way real at all, unless you’re in The Matrix - as a competitor for the new Chevrolet Corvette; “an Italian muscle car, if it’s possible to say”, he tells us.

And it certainly looks striking. Front-engined (no word, probably the 450bhp 4.7-litre V8), rear-wheel-drive and with hints of the Alfa Romeo Montreal at the front, together with snippets of the rather delectable Alfa 2uettottanta concept, the gorgeous 8C and of course, the original Alfa Romeo 6C. Shame there’s no whisper of the bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful Alfa 33 Stradale, but we’ve always got the upcoming 4C for that.

Have a click through the pictures and let us know: reckon Alfa should build something like this 6C?

Kid walking dog stops to play in the puddle

> I love how careful he was when he set the leash down.

> Enjoy your water, tiny human, but the joke is on you. When you get home with wet paws, the older humans will shout at you for staining their floors.

> Such a good dog.

> The whole time I was watching this I was thinking :

I hate being an adult.

> Human. What is the tiny person doing?

> Another video showing that kids are just drunk adults.

I worked hard on this (hiding watermarks is like a game now XD) and hope you guys enjoy it. ;u; For those who are unaware, Nutella is a chocolatey hazelnut spread also in Ferrero Rochers. It tastes amazing with pita chips. <3

And just curious: how do you pronounce Nutella? Nuh-tella, new-tella, or noo-tella?

Badass Military Dad of the Day: United States Air Force Col. Rob Kiebler had a galaxy-sized surprise for his young son Danny upon returning home from 14 months on active duty. Danny is a huge Star Wars fan, so Kiebler hired a few of the films’ most recognizable characters to meet Danny for a birthday meal. Kiebler, appropriately disguised as a Jedi, joined the festivities, much to Danny’s delight. It’s like having two heroes wrapped into one awesome person.

Alicia^2: sriracha butter. :

aliciasquared:

I generally only eat sriracha in a steaming hot bowl of pho. I’ve got a rather weak tolerance for spice but I always find myself adding way more than I should. Heh. Last week, I randomly decided to saute some shrimp with butter and sriracha and it was incredible. (See below: shrimp, kale,…

This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words.

“So, on Friday night my friend and I were at her house and wanted to get out and do something for the evening. We brainstormed ideas and she brought up the idea of seeing a show at the Laugh Factory. I’d never been, I thought…
