And we gotta remember that Lewis Hamilton comes from a very middle class background. He was basically raised by his dad who worked several jobs at once to support Lewis’ racing career.

Part of the reason that the races were able to occur overseas in the CART days is because FedEx, the then series sponsor, used to freight all the CART equipment and cars to each race on their planes. You can probably dig online through the various image archives but FedEx used to rack the cars and all the team’s…

Shilling, you luddite, socialist, capitalist baiting yout! You conveniently left out Shatner’s crowning achievement as an actor. He was T.J. Hooker !

Yep - F1 for example only introduced a pitlane speed limit in 1994, post-San Marino.

Youngsters, like the author, sheesh! Price Cobb was one of the greats from that era. Won LeMans. Raced well into his fifties. Chip was a good number 2. Like Bottas.

Today, sure. But the racing world was in a very very different place 32yrs ago.

If by “the Mexico of Europe” you mean that Poland is the native country of a high percentage of the workforce in hospitality, then yes.

Thinking about the circumstances that led to these abandoned cars is quite sad. Could be the owners traveled alone and died at their destination with no next of kin to be found. 

I’m assuming $0 of those Kia dollars will be used to fix Kinja for the “discussions” right lol...

Wait, this isn’t a Jaguar XK based David Brown Automotive Speedback GT?

Every compact-car-on-stilts and small crossover for sale today.

1st Gear: The difference in market value between Tesla and Volvo is absolutely wild, and I think a pretty good indicator of how the stock market is just smoke and mirrors.

If nothing else, you can ship it back across the pond and sell it there. The prices of these things have been going crazy back in the UK because all their examples have rusted away.

(I know very little about these races outside of the occasional TV viewing). Some thoughts that come to mind are either reducing the rider pack based on age group or raising the floor for qualifications to push less skilled riders out. The rider crowds are part of what makes it exciting and they appear to get pretty sp…

Confused by the Land Rover one? Specifically the models (years) shown, or all?

There’s a SATURN COUPE on this list but not one single Rolls Royce? OK... 

The reason for mandating the vaccine is for multiple reasons, from a practical reason and ignores all politics:

I’ve already had COVID along with my entire family here in the US. We will not get the vaccine. Period, end of story... it is not subject of debate. And to anyone asking why? Get educated.
