And, having been there, DC's Red Bull was one of the best sounding F1 cars there.

As much as I would like to, unfortunately I can't afford to go to Goodwood, much less live there.

I always thought the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof was largely based on time of day...

For $12K, I want the actual night sky. All the right constellations, at the right time of night, right season, and right latitude. Is that too much to ask?

Yes. No other vehicle has made my eyes vibrate so much I couldn't focus. It's loud, even with earplugs in. Then, came the burning from the nitro. This is the automotive equivalent of being in a riot that the cops are attempting to quell.

As for the circuit neighbors complaining, that won't happen. We were at the race. At previous GPs, as soon as the cars lit off, you knew it. Here, we at first thought it was the Porsche 911 GT3 support race that was starting. Then, we realized the 911s were louder. The whistle of the turbos are the loudest thing…

There's a guy here in the Minneapolis area who works for QA-1, the shock company. I've seen him autocross his '70s Town Car. It looks like a scene from The French Connection.

Yes, two of our newer cars have all of that on the wheel, I just never think to use ANY of it.

What, because I only want a horn on my steering wheel? Maybe I'm automotive luddite, but I don't see the need to have a steering wheel with more buttons on it than the one I use on my PlayStation at home. It's as bad as aftermarket head units that come with remote controls. For a deck. That is within arm's reach. …

The issue with hardwiring a particular device in to a car is most smartphones get upgraded every two years when folks sign a new contract with a carrier. More often if people are using pre-paid phones. Car dashboards are forever, baby. I'd hate to still have the Panasonic "Mova P" mount in my 1991 Miata.

Not currently, why?

I'm a fan of no buttons. Aside from cruise control (the few times I use it), I tend to still reach for the radio or other device vs. the wheel. Maybe it is because when I started driving, the only button the wheel was the horn...

$kaycog,

Yes, you are 100% correct. The CNBC documentary you mention, "The High Cost of Low Prices" was popular around these parts (I work for a retailer). Getting in to business with WMT is most certainly a deal with the devil. As a supplier, it's suicide not to have your goods on their shelves in 5,000+ US stores. As a…

Full Disclosure: I work for a retailer that is a competitor of Walmart and my wife works for possibly the most direct US competitor of Walmart. That out of the way...

Yes, I was being a spelling jerk. I understood these cars to have inadequate stopping power. However, if the point you were trying to make was that they possibly didn't even need that much braking ability because they were woefully slow, then I apologize for making assumption that I would encounter spelling/homonym…

OK, not to be a jerk, but, oh well...

I also love the analog odometer on this cluster... Ironic, considering on many cars that's now the ONLY read out that is digital.
