LA Windows - sadly, the team crashes needs to be rebooted every couple of weeks (so maybe more appropriate for the Lakers).

I would prefer that they catch up with late 90's F1 and go with V10's and 12's. Screw the manufacturers and go with Illmor, Cosworth, Judd, Mugen, Jim’s house of motors, whatever - Hyundai or Geely can throw a sticker on the motor if they want. If I want environmentally responsible racing I’ll watch e-racing. Bring…

Wasn’t this the initial theory for all of the home runs back in the late 90's as well? Just wish I could recall the prescient pitcher who said something to the effect of “The balls aren’t juiced, the hitters are” back then...

Alternate headline - “This 2019 study reveals the worst new car values in 2016"

The code needs to be the old “up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-start” that is ingrained in every gen-x’er’s muscle memeory

Consider transaction prices instead of MSRP and it becomes a much better case for the Buick.  I am happy with my Avenir - just a quiet, competent family wagon.  Albeit with much shit after going from a BMW to a Mercedes to a Buick...

I don’t know who that woman with the brown sweater / black stripes is, but I hope she gets a ton of money for the shot she snapped between ducking Bevo’s horn and jumping just to the side of his rear.  Impressive reflexes and dedication to the work.

Just for the fun of it:

Unfortunately that graph applies to most Democrats vs. Republicans, and has for the past 50+ years. Remember, today’s Trump-loving Boomers were once the hippie generation.

Yes - and the HondaJet program was a shit-show from start to finish, kicked off in 1997.  One that makes their F1 performance look good...

“Building an airplane? That shit is easy.”

Before we start: take your tongue and run it between your bottom gum and your lower lip. Notice the smooth piece of skin that connects the two, essentially keeping food from collecting in your chin.

Two questions: 1) Did anyone survive? 2) What were they driving?

Can’t wait for Uber and Lyft to be like the taxis were 15 years ago. The obvious next step will be to set up some sort of bureaucracy to oversee Uber and Lyft, including price controls against the inevitable gouging

Alternate headline: “Model 3's parts are crap because they are cheap.”  If we were talking about GM, this is where we all go off on a tirade about the beancounters taking over and ruining the place...

Looking at that pic, all I can think is damn, 80's CART looked cool.  Time to go smoke some Marlboros, drink a Budweiser, and crank some Huey Lewis on the Kraco

Yes - if only Toyota made a fairly cheap, light sports car with rear wheel drive and a manual transmission. It can be a bit low on horsepower, as long as it is fun to drive.

“Interestingly, or, more accurately, not that interestingly, when Ford changed the name from Freestyle to Taurus X in 2007, sales dropped by a big chunk. Maybe some people remembered when Taurus wagons were actually fascinatingly weird things that looked like this”

It’s not the Uber drivers that want this - it’s non-Uber taxi / limo drivers. It has turned the taxi industry into a race to 0, and when labor is a key component of cost that is what they will try to push down. It’s not just a single company that will operate without minimum wage, benefits, etc - it’s an entire…

So, does this count as a “man step?”
