I hope that’s the case and Binotto is able to lead the team to a championship (or two, or three). He’s obviously a bright guy, but I always worry about taking someone who is very technically capable and has successfully run a specific department or two and promoting them to be in charge of things they might know…

Haha, good catch! I missed the “annual” part the first time around.

That pretty much sums up being the Cleveland Browns, doesn’t it? That at one point a team was willing to give up every shred of their history and every claim to their accomplishments just so they could leave and not be the Cleveland Browns anymore? 

I agree. Maurizio took a team that was in disarray at the end of 2014 and in a couple of years they produced a car that was a true title contender. It was really their championship to lose this year, and they did lose it but mainly due to repeated failures by their #1 driver. I like Vettel but at some point mid-season…

Kimi was a far more consistent #2 driver than Bottas was this year, and is also Ferrari’s most recent race winner. He put up a hell of a fight at Monza as well!  I like Vettel a lot, but there were at least six races this year where a simple error of judgment on his part cost them a LOT of points. He did not perform…

“And, “for a total annual fuel savings of 1,276 gallons per year.” They’ll save 1,276 gallons every what? Please include a time unit on rates like these, jeez.”

I highly suggest reading “My Sweetest Victory”, his autobiography. He’s led an amazing life, with plenty of other challenges aside from losing his legs. His tenacity is second to none!

Well done, this gave me a good laugh. 

When I see the advancements in robotics, it gives me hope that maybe we’ll at least be able to develop a lightweight, agile exoskeleton of sorts that someone with paralysis could strap themselves into and use easily rather than being confined to a wheelchair forever.

So you want Google to make an.... iPhone? 

“I just pista my pants!”

Ferrari is smart to design the cars and the nannies as an integral unit. If the nannies enhance the driving experience for most of the buyers rather than hinder it, what’s the problem?

The original Viper had, what, 400 HP with no driver assists and people described it as “deadly” even with big fat tires on it. I can’t imagine an unbridled car with 700 HP or more. That’s essentially a professional race car that’s been adapted for the street; designed for people with lightning-quick reflexes and years…

I think the 458/488 are so capable and attractive that they could be considered future icons.

The magic of a car like this is what it’s potentially capable of in the right setting and in the right hands. It has an aura about it, even if the person that owns it is nowhere near capable enough to extract even half of its potential.

My wife and I have Comcast/Xfinity internet and have had zero outages in the last couple of years (save for the occasional winter storm when we also lose power, too.)

Also, what good is a remotely-activated microwave anyway? Don’t you still have to physically load it with food? How is it a disadvantage to then have to press the buttons that are right in front of you?

Is there any correlation to average height? Aren’t we getting a bit taller with each generation? 

Kitchen and bath renovations can actually pay for themselves and then some if done properly, but your analogy still stands for the most part.

The weight they can support on top is impressive I’m sure but it looked like there were a lot of metal supports and spilled product moving horizontally, too. Probably not healthy to get impaled by a steel upright.
