Agreed. Probably the best sequence in the film.

According to the lore of the movie, they have these sprayfoam ejection pod things for safety. But considering that he murders people in the title sequence of the cartoon, I wouldn’t put it past him.

Amazing.

You get it.

Unpopular Opinion: The 2008 Speed Racer “live action” movie is amazing if you pretend you’re 8 while you watch it.

I’ve seen stock cars run at COTA via the SVRA, and it’s amazing. The runoff zones alone qualify COTA. Sure, it might be a more technical course, but unlike older road courses, at COTA, mistakes due to lack of technical skill result in running wide, rather than smashy crashy delays.

Also, Texas, the entire course is

As an Android user who doesn’t play Fortnite, my brain went directly to this.

So cool that they finally got it legal!

Well that sounds helpful, expensive, and soon mandatory...

#1 rule of Jalopnik: Never assume Tracy can’t out-Tracy himself. This is epic and I love it.

Also, I love that the ad for the van said, “It’s from Italy, so there’s barely any rust.” Italy is Europe’s California/Arizona/Texas, I guess.

I actually thought the same thing. I thought there would be two different options or something. But I’m also used to seeing a gated manual on just about every manual-equipped supercar.

2020 is redeemed.

People are blaming corn instead of their inability to read signs? I mean, are these all in places with negligent county governments that don’t post signs to determine right-of-way? I don’t get it. I grew up in a sea of corn. There were stop signs at every intersection. 

All I’m seeing is that 44% of GTIs and Golf Rs are quintessential hot hatches.

This is the only answer.

I’ve found it much more fun to watch when I stopped caring about who would win (it’s Hamilton) and started paying attention to who would get into the top 5. It’s been really interesting this year to see Ferrari give way to McLaren, Racing Point, etc, while Max is maturing and Ricciardo is kicking himself. Lewis won’t

The vinyl record analogy is one I’ve been using for a long time. It’s a different experience than those offered by tapes, CDs, and streaming. And it remains. Vinyl still sells out.

YES. Gosh, I’ve been using this analogy for ages. One format of physical music storage media has outlasted all the others— the vinyl record. When bands want to release something special, they don’t burn CDs. They press records.

And in 50 years, when carmakers want to produce something special, they’ll add clutch

“I like the feel” is a perfectly legitimate reason to buy a car. That’s the point.

Atlanta is on my “never move here” list strictly for traffic reasons.

Well, also for swamp-weather reasons. But mostly for traffic reasons. I have no idea why people move there.
