Ah. That’ll do it.

So I only watched like the last 15 min of the race. Aside from the one that ran out of gas, why did all the Lambos finish so far back? I know a lot of variables go into endurance racing, but shit, if you have 5 cars in the field that can run over a second faster per lap than everyone else, you should expect to at…

Does anyone else find it ironic that Yankees fans who have spent the last 20 years yelling ‘Fuck the small market teams! If you can’t pay to hang with the big boys, it’s your own damn problem!’ are now being priced out of their own stadium?

Dude, that shit was floppy. Fuck that guy and his weird hair.

You’re probably lots of fun at parties

For all their problems, these things were (and still are, I guess) pretty unreal to drive.

Damn, Flan. Cutting deep. It all hurts because it’s all true.

Pretty much. California made me take the intake off my e39 and put the stock one back on, even though the stock one tested dirtier than the aftermarket. But Racing Dynamics hadn’t paid thousands of dollars to the state for the privilege of putting a little sticker on their intakes.

I think headlights are another problem. New, bright headlights are a huge improvement for the drivers of the cars that have them, at the expense of blinding everyone else on the road. I was driving some shitty, curvy, icy roads at night last week, and it was an issue every time a new Audi or Bimmer drove by.

That’s exactly the type of mentality that I think (again, no proof or hard data to back it up, it’s just a hunch) is the problem. I don’t think there’s been much advancement in physical safety. So crumple zones are the same, and generally cars are the same structurally. Most of the developments in safety over the last…

Bummer. Those green C5s are pretty rare.

Maybe. I’m no statistician, but I get around quite a bit. I’d say that in the larger cities of America, where I assume most of the accidents take place, the percentage of cars manufactured after 2012 or so is well into the range of the statistically significant.

That’s fair. Weather was extra shitty last year, which probably contributed. But they’ve been selling the absolute shit out of cars over the last few years, so yeah, there are lots of modern (say 2012 or later) cars on the road. The lag time could be a result of people gradually transitioning from analog to digital.

Because things like self-braking systems and lane-departure alerts make people feel like they’re not piloting a 5000 pound death machine, so they don’t treat the task with the respect it deserves.

As a recent retiree with significant experience in such matters, having to choose between Cowherd and Russo is the worst part of almost every day for me.

They should use the international Top Gears as a farm system, and their first move should be to call Rut up to the big team.

Damn dude. That’s some damn fine, if utterly pointless, investigative journalism.
