I understand the Schumacher family’s right to privacy. However Michael, whether his family likes it or not, is a public figure and a hero to many. While we do not need a live blog of his health, the length between updates is unacceptable. The last official update was what...2014? Note that I am specifically…

Well it’s on a forklift in those pictures. Yeah the rims HAVE to go.
This is why I only do heists with friends. They come fewer and further between, but they tend to go much more smoothly. Also more fun when you finally pull it off.
More like, he bothered to put it on a forklift, but couldn’t be bothered to try and turn it over.
It’s a 1st gen which was RWD. It’s up on a forklift. Looks to be in a junkyard.
I think it depends on the driver. Some drivers don’t take care of themselves as they age. Others do. JPM works out more now than he did in his 20s. The other thing that can be a big factor is family. Younger drivers only have one focus: win. Older drivers who are married and have kids have split…
They did but nothing came of it. There were rumors of a Porsche IMSA team lead by Penske with JPM as the lead driver, but so far nothing has come of that. I see an open seat and a driver that can still get it done. He doesn’t need to be there forever, just a season or two so Mercedes can properly decide on a number…
How about this guy? Other than the Indy 500 he’s unemployed for next year and (I think) he still has a superlicense. And before anyone says “he’s too old and has no fire” remember he DID win the 2015 Indy 500 in spectacular style, won in St Pete in March, and had a run of really crappy luck (most notably the fact…
My work commute is an hour each way. I spend that hour preparing for my day: keying up and ordering tasks that need to be done, mentally preparing presentations, etc. in the morning. In the evening, I either listen to the news, plan my evening, or just unwind to music and the scenery (my job is in the middle of the…
If this doesn’t make COTD then this site needs to burn.
Volvo wagon is the way to go. Safe, a lightly used one can be had in budget, plus you get tons of space, you can get a manual, you can get a turbo engine, and you can get Swedish reliability. Personally, I’d go for a V70R, but they’re probably a bit old for this buyer’s needs.
Most of my problems have been Mazda designed parts, not Ford. Sure there was some goofy Ford design in there as well, but for the most part it was MAZDA, not Ford, who failed me as an owner. 10 years isn’t very long, certainly not in tersm of design standards (which change at a glacial pace in OEMs). I think…
Rivalry (or lack thereof) is why if I was Toto Wolff, I’d have my eye on Jenson Button. He should be a great fit for the new cars, he’s under a sham of a contract, and he’s a great number 2. Most importantly, he and Hamilton get along very well, so there’s little risk of the interpersonal battles we’ve seen over the…
WD-40 on the door seals. WD-40 is a water displacer (that’s what the WD stands for), so it helps prevent moisture from building up. Along with the added lubrication, this helps prevent your doors from freezing shut. Also works in locks.
I’ve had a few problems with the MS specific parts and yeah, you’re spot on. However the majority of my problems have been 3-specific. For example, my driver’s door stopped opening a month ago. I was able to peel back the interior panel enough to work it from the inside (it’s as difficult as it sounds, but doable…
Mazdas are great to drive: their long-term quality is garbage. I won’t get into the LONG list of problems I’ve had on my MS3, but suffice it to say I won’t be shopping for a Mazda again anytime soon. Also, because of how Mazda part-shares across its lines, a lot of these problems pop up on CX-7s, 5s, and 6s. Until…
If you’re talking about “drift missiles” that amateurs take to the track specifically to destroy then yes, you are 100% correct. This is also why tracks are beginning to crack down on drift missile cars because they all fear something like this happening. However the pro-level cars are something entirely different,…
Driving dream cars? Been a dream. I don’t think I’ve driven a dream car of mine that didn’t meet my expectations. Nissan GT-R (both R32 and R35)? Loved it. Mazda Miata? Loved it. Mazdaspeed 3? Loved it. SR20 swapped 240SX? Loved it. Isuzu VehiCross? Loved it. EVO X? Loved it.
Autoweek hated this thing when it was new. Not all the new reviews were good.
