I don’t think the average American female has weighed 120 lbs. (assuming a 20 lb. carryon) for a long time

I just went to the Mexico GP , there was a gentleman in front of me who had driven 6 hours that morning and spent a month’s salary just to attend the day 2 qualifying sessions, he couldn’t afford the race day tickets.  So there are some true believers that attend the races.  

Agreed, I suspect this is a decision that was made by his security team.  

Thank you for the info!  That’s a shame they made those changes.

Even for Corvettes?  (my understanding is that the corvette allocations were handled differently in the past)

I agree, as described, this is lawsuit fodder.

You’re right , i was staring at the picture trying to figure out why this car looked so underwhelming (ignoring the wheels for a minute) and then your comment made me realize the problem. there are no contours left , it’s a blob that looks like an Acura to me (A Kia / Hyundai to another commenter). The iconic Audi…

100% agree, my implied point is that with power to weight parity, the much lighter A110 should be a much better car around the track (assuming similar tires).  For around town, I’m not testing the limits of my brakes or handling, suspect the GTS would be my choice.  

I think you’re probably right, but I personally haven’t driven anything like an A110S. Let’s hold aside factors like build quality, finishes, brand issues.

Oh you’re right about the ugliness. We had a nice discussion here:

Missed opportunity to discuss the ventilation system. It pushes air from the top of the tunnel and sucks air out of the bottom, along the whole length.  42 fans in each direction, for a total of 6000 HP.  

The ventilation system doesn’t really do anything to extinguish the fire, it just removes the smoke. I’m not sure why the author said that it “dissipated the fire”, you ‘extinguish’ a fire and you ‘dissipate’ the smoke.

I did the same thing, the only reason I clicked on the article was a “wait, is that a Tesla”

The hybrid is mostly about the extra power, they are taking this thing from low 400s to mid 600s with it.

Did they finally get rid of the split tailgate?  never could get my wife interested in the BMW SUVs because of that.  Very stroller unfriendly.

Similarly the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT starts at $189K.  And it only has 631 HP...  folks may not like it, but there is a market for these high powered CUVs.

The uniforms look nice, the policy is great.  I wish they had provided a picture that showed more variation and mix and match for the uniforms.  

You about sum it up. You can do whatever you want with your car, until it imposes a negative externality or risk to others.

bI’ve got no problem with a Donk, doesn’t hurt / risk anyone. I do draw the line at Slabs, which start to create a danger to others

I like your taxonomy. Might I build on it?
