You seem pretty upset, maybe calm down a little.

Entirely different eras, so the # of starts bit isn’t really relevant. Also, Schumi hit #68 on his 239th start, he came back with Mercedes, who had a pretty terrible car for most of the time he was there. Technically, he got pole #69 at Monaco in 2012 but had it stolen due to a penalty.

Eh, qualifying was different during the 2000-2004 era. Pole was less important because of refueling.

Well, the other way you can trivialize it is by (correctly) pointing out that for a good chunk of the years that Schumacher was at Ferrari, you didn’t want to be on pole.

550s are pretty reliable. The engine isn’t heavily stressed (~500hp from a 5.5L) and the gearbox and mechanicals are quite sturdy. The car was made to be a gentleman’s daily driver.

Prices are stabilizing around $100k-$110k for quality examples with 40-50k miles, which is just a few thousand miles a year of usage.

Stoops is an ass clown and no one understands the difference between a cut block and a chop block.

Prices are coming back down to earth, finally.

This has got to stop.

Aircraft waiting on the taxiway:

3900 miles is way short than the average service interval though.

Just get a GT350 - they are cheaper than that, higher performing, and will retain value much better than a standard GT.

Nailed it right on the head.

Wilson’s death was just tragic because the cars were poorly designed. The aero balance was so off on ovals that they were running nose cones with lead weights in them.

Bianchi would have still been killed with the halo.

The spring that hit Massa at Hungary in 2009 may have hit him despite the halo.

Well, it was somehow his 3rd shot. Next shot was from ~90 yards and the shot after that was his par putt.

I think it landed on the roof and he took a drop on that deck/balcony. It was his 3rd shot.

It exits the back of the engine as a cone but yeah, you could block the bottom off and it would work, but a blast shield is a fixed object.

Wouldn’t work for a lot of the heavy aircraft departing from SXM - the exhaust exiting the engines is higher than 8 feet.
