It’s only unacceptable because NASCAR will still revoke your license if you have an unpaid fine.

No, it’s a sedan. A sedan is better than a hatchback in every single one of your criteria and will still have 99% of the functionality of a hatchback.

Yeah, hatchbacks are great but you know what would make it a little better? All wheel drive. I’d like a little more headroom too and maybe a little better ground clearance so it doesn’t scrape over every speed bump and steep driveway and a bigger cargo area.

Full throttle in a Miata is a good time but not a great time.  If you don’t get at least a little scared at full throttle you need more horsepower.

He got 5 years for stealing a pair of Nikes while his friend pointed a gun at the victim. Armed robbery is much different then destruction of property, 5 years is a light sentence for armed robbery.

Why would I rent one for any length of time or on a regular basis.

Pull over for any flashing red light?

Put it in H.

They will probably only charter the first few flights in order to get production back up as soon as possible. After that they will be sent standard air cargo. Not cheap but also not that unusual for some auto parts. It is unusual for a part that large and heavy though.

Tooling doesn’t mean all of the machinery needed to produce a part. There could be machine specific dies that could only move to a facility that has the required machines to fit the dies. It could also be a special blend of magnesium used that is only produced at a few facilities worldwide.

They were using small sample sizes to issue fines based on this model. That’s why it was wholly inappropriate to use the data and why the CFPB was rightly smacked down by Congress.

Wrong, race data for mortgage applications is 100%. It’s taken straight off the mortgage application and entered into the models.

It’s probaby fine for the research purposes it was designed for but it’s nowhere near good enough for making policy. If you’re going to affect people’s lives and possibly issue multimillion dollar fines you better be damn sure that your data is 100%.

First off, that study says it has an average accuracy of 80% but that accuracy ranged from 64% to 98% depending on age and race. That’s a lot of variance in the results. It also says that 89–96 percent of the initial population was still retained at the overall cutoffs levels. So your 80% is only for the subset of the…

I can’t find the original report, but maybe they have extensive data

After 35 years of increasing truck sales I think you can stop calling it a trend.

F1 did that and it’s part of their problem. Everyone has their fuel calculated out to the drop and no one is willing to turn their engine power up enough to pass.

Most of the tobacco sponsorships started when tobacco advertising was banned from mainstream venues. Somehow motorsports was exempt from the ban of tobacco advertising on television and the tobacco companies took advantage of that. So you had giant corporations who were used to spending big on advertising with no…

It’s still a little cold out right now, tomorrow should be warmer. Can we march on Dearborn tomorrow instead?

That’s a lot of space to take up just to have one running car.
