The question now is does Rossi retire on his own at the end of 2020 or get forced out by Yamaha? They can’t afford to let Quartararo go to another factory team for 2021.

Yet you have multiple responses where you talk about your hatred for EVs, which does kinda have something to do with anything.

“idiotic tax subsidies which are very very wrong”........yet you took them? I guess we all have to stand for someth.........oh, wait.......

FTR in high humidity and high 90's temps of the southeast all summer......still a hell of a lot of fun!!

Marquez doesn’t really make the championship boring. You can always count on a gravity defying move in practice as he pushes to make sure he knows the limit before the race and most likely he will do something similar during the race. The guy is simply amazing, but if Quartararo stays healthy and Yamaha finds a…

Clearly the past two races have been Zarco’s on bike interview. Have to think that has been HRC’s plan all along. Cal gets along well with Marc though and knows the bike though. Might depend on how much say Marc gets in the process. Not to mention that would open up an LCR ride for Alex if they want to bring him…

Yep, grabbed the clutch once he got his feet under him AND had the presence of mind to look over his shoulder for traffic before surfing across the track.  And he is still the second best rider in his family.

Let’s really make it two words, or at least one set of initials and a word:  UAW - Chicago

No, the UAW wants to keep jobs here so they keep the money coming in from the rank and file.  Extravagant vacations, wine, cigars and hookers don’t pay for themselves. That takes union dues!

But were the splitter guards still in place??

Nailed it.  They’ve managed to out-Kia Kia in terms of bad credit clientele and sleazy dealers.  Combine that with the fact that the QX60 and Q60 are now staples of rental car fleets and don’t even require booking a luxury class and the handwriting is on the wall.

Too late. They started long ago........

Wait. So a vehicle designed with a big, deep, open load hauling area known as a bed, which includes a drop down tailgate for ease of loading, is primarily for towing rather than hauling stuff.....in the big open bed with the drop down tailgate for ease of loading stuff??

“We have full confidence in our union leadership....”

Why to the dummies only have half a left arm?  The missing right arm kind of makes sense considering it’s a left side impact test, but it seems like an arm/wrist fracture would matter.

Multiple time VW owner/leasee, all from different dealers (work moves me a lot).  All very easy to work with.  Go in with your facts straight, it’s all available on line.  Tell them what you will pay.  They can’t argue the numbers.

Absolutely. You can’t erase history and when you do, you risk losing the valuable lessons the that should be learned. End of the day, it’s a piece of machinery that should be appreciated for what it was, not that it was built for some nut job. If you want to call this car Nazi memorabilia, should we also put NASA…

Unless the bidders weren’t in the room and were just going by what they heard on the phone.  You would still think the people on the phone from RM would have told them something was f’ed up.

So the fact is that a recession is coming. The timing is just you guessing based on what you read/heard/whatever. Educated or uneducated guesses, they are still guesses.

Museums display history.  Good and bad things happened in history, but if museums avoided anything remotely associated with the bad they wouldn’t have a hell of a lot to display.  Any car museum would love to have this vehicle.
